......You are there .... living, working, breathing the air of 1860......... with your current numismatic knowledge. Alas your financials are not there and you must become clever overnight..... for the numismatic clock is ticking. What work/job are you performing, how do you amass your collection, what do you collect and how do you plan for the coins you-know-are-coming?

of sorts. i,d ask only to be paid in coinage.....or was that the time of a coin shortage........anyway,
i,d try and locate as many 1856 FE cents as i could then fly back to today in the timemachine.
..hows that?
Play 'em some Led Zep and Jimi Hendrix music and see what kind of reaction you get.
Repeat several times (using different identities, of course). There was one "bounty jumper" I recall that was able to do that 30+ times before getting cought.
Remember though to save a little money to buy your way out of the draft (after 1863).
Invent Beanie Babies, the Pet Rock, Coin Boards, a better internal combustion engine, the airplane, nearly every synthetic thermopolymer (plastic) known to man, Beanie Babies, the Pet Rock, etc.
After a year or two, I'd then buy everything in site since I'd make Bill Gates look like a pauper!
A job at the mint, as AuldFartte suggested, would probably be the best route.
