For my 1000th post, AND in celebration of my third anniversary here, this is the question I pose: If you could only spend $1,000 for your ENTIRE coin collection, what coins would you buy for your collection? (Assume you were starting your collection from scratch.)

1,000 lottery tickets.

The nicest 20th Century BU type set (less gold) that I could assemble.

This is now a closed set and would give me a wide variety of mint-fresh
coins, many of them being obsolete.

An Ike dollar MS set (mixed between MS64-65-66 and 67).

That's $4 more than my entire existing collection!!!!

FatMan · July 19, 2004 10:05AM

Books and auction catalogs.

rainbowroosie,

I'd say that makes you eminently qualified to answer - so, whatcha got?

It would have to be a few 20 cent pieces.

Some roosies, some proof roosies, some proof washingtons, a few mercs, my Lincoln pennies, and a couple of random coins...
