Powerball’s at $1 Billion- What’s the FIRST coin you would buy if you won?

jesbroken · July 19, 2023 4:08PM

Most of them

TennesseeDave · July 19, 2023 4:17PM

Probably a 1794 Dollar. I would not go for the highest graded one, just an honest circulated specimen.

Pnies20 · July 19, 2023 4:17PM

One of the Gobrecht dollars in the upcoming installment of the Bass sale.

ndeagles · July 19, 2023 4:19PM

Id buy pcgs

stevefromne · July 19, 2023 4:23PM

Not a coin, but a set.

Several years ago (believe it was Legend) that had a spectacular 1915 set of commems, from the pair of $ 50's to the half.
Hammered for about $ 600K ; also included the original presentation case.

Just gorgeous !!

Onastone · July 19, 2023 4:24PM

Hmmm, you could have your own coin minted.

dollarfan · July 19, 2023 4:26PM

I would buy 70000 lbs of bank rolled morgans

Tom147 · July 19, 2023 4:42PM

Hmmm !!!!! I believe I'd go after top pop 20th century sets. Lincolns, Buffalos, Mercurys, Roosies, Washingtons, WLH's. Challenge DLH and others for top registry spots. Think I'd have enough to put together a nice gold set or two.

Manifest_Destiny · July 19, 2023 5:10PM

I'd buy all the 1901-s quarters and melt everything damaged or without full rims, and turn it into a truly rare coin.

CopperLad · July 19, 2023 6:03PM

Tom Reynolds would have a very good day.

Ownerofawheatiehorde · July 19, 2023 6:12PM

Monopoly on CSA issue seated halves.

Rarity · July 19, 2023 6:13PM

PCGS proof 65 or higher Type 2 Liberty $20 gold and PCGS ms-65 1799 silver dollar

BLUEJAYWAY · July 19, 2023 6:20PM

The highest graded 1955/1955 cent doubled die.

Kurisu · July 19, 2023 6:26PM

Maybe I'd get a few of these shipped to display in my new front yard.

oreville · July 19, 2023 6:27PM

Even with a billion bucks I cannot buy anymore coins as I would not be able to lift them.

golden · July 19, 2023 7:07PM

The best 1792 Half Disme.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 19, 2023 7:10PM

1933 $20 Gold Saint. Surely there has to be someone in power who could be persuaded.

Walkerfan · July 19, 2023 7:44PM

The complete Gerald Forsythe Walking Liberty half collection.

And a Bruce Morelan caliber Seated liberty dollar set.

@EliteCollection I think you have an offer!

rte592 · July 19, 2023 7:47PM

It wouldn't be so much what I would buy, But who I could help.

pursuitofliberty · July 19, 2023 7:49PM

I don't know if it's for sale, but I would, absolutely, hunt this down.

Tramp · July 19, 2023 8:04PM

Two coins: The highest graded 1889 CC and the highest graded 1922 no D.

Conshyboy · July 19, 2023 8:14PM

Would just buy the shop and give most of the the coins away on this Forum

ChrisH821 · July 19, 2023 8:35PM

Would probably start here

Martin · July 19, 2023 9:22PM

Probably buy a 40,000 to 70,000 acre ranch in Montana. And a house next door the Comrade Renski in Hawaii that has a pool all ready installed

Martin

jmlanzaf · July 19, 2023 11:35PM

1909 Tibetan Srang in MS

D808LF · July 20, 2023 1:32AM

I'd buy everything Morelan has and wants.

BillJones · July 20, 2023 2:15AM

I would buy the King of Siam Proof Set if it ever became available. Beyond that a high grade $50 gold slug, a 1794 Dollar and up grades for most of my collection would be nice.

I remember Scrooge McDuck doing that with the 1916 quarter in a comic book.

The winning ticket was sold in a very tiny market by skid row, that is about 15 miles as the crow flies from the 2 billion dollar Altadena winner.

For the right offer, I'm sure it would become available. That was also my first choice.

johnny9434 · July 20, 2023 3:49AM

Fugio coinage and put a nice set together

Dropdaflag · July 20, 2023 5:04AM

With that kind of money, whatever strikes my fancy.

OAKSTAR · July 20, 2023 5:19AM

Three of everything that's listed on this thread. 😂 🤣

There are probably a few in hiding, but you'd have to know who to ask. Mite take some time to accumulate the cash.

Batman23 · July 20, 2023 6:52AM

Oh the possibilities. The stuff dreams are made of. I think I would work on a very nice complete type set consisting of high grade key date coins.

ctf_error_coins · July 20, 2023 6:52AM

An Island

Jimnight · July 20, 2023 6:53AM

FS 004 1972 DDO.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 20, 2023 6:56AM

Get back to work.

VTchaser · July 20, 2023 7:02AM

Purchasing MS70's of every coin since 1792. Oh they exist alright...that billion will dig them up somehow

Manifest_Destiny · July 20, 2023 7:21AM

I would buy the 1870-s half dime, 1870-s $3, 1873-cc NA dime, and 1873-cc NA quarters, and melt them so people could actually have complete registry sets.

BAJJERFAN · July 20, 2023 7:47AM

This may sound foolish to some, but if allowed I would hire someone to sell the ticket for say $150 million and after taxes I would still have way more money than I would ever need. I might buy a mint state 1893-S 1889-CC or proof 1895 Morgan. Maybe buy a $25K coin and have a give away.
