    An MS65 '26 Buffalo nickel, or an MS67 FB '16-D merc, or an MS66 FH '16 SLQ, but

    Either a down payment on that 3CN set that's been recently hyped up or maybe a downpayment on a 76-CC 20-cent.
    If I couldn't put downpayments down, I'd buy every key date I could find in MS63+ until I ran out of money (which would probably be pretty fast).

    Assuming the $100K could be used for coins and nothing else -- PanPac $50 (pref. round, oct. OK). With the change I'd buy more gold commems.

    It sure wouldn't be all on coins. One thing would be the 1955 double die Lincoln cent to complete the Whitman folder. Then I'd buy the Mauser Broom Handle in 7.63 mm with wooden sholder stock, Colt Python .357 stainless with 8" ribbed barrel and then a 57 T Bird auto. Anything left would then go to improve the Merc dime collection.

    How about an addition to the house so I won't have to share the study with my three kids. That sure would enhance my collection!

    1916-d merc
    1927-s quarter
    1893-s 1$
    179x type coins
    etc.

  • VarlisVarlis Posts: 505 ✭✭✭

    As many of the following as possible:

    1796 Quarter
    1823 Quarter
    1827 Quarter
  • MacCrimmonMacCrimmon Posts: 7,058 ✭✭✭
    Easy! A PF66+ Gothic Crown, a PF66/67 1839 VYH proof set (Una not required, but cheery red coppers would be nice!! image), a complete date run of MS65+ VYH copper farthings, halfpennys, and pennys, an 1841, 1844, & 1847 VYH crown in stone cold MS66 or better, VJH fiver in MS66 or better, and an 1870 date set with all coins at MS66 or better.........

    ......may be some room left, but I'd be happy with these for starters.... image

    Actually,

    with a 100k, I would go after the 74-cc dime in the Richmond collection.

  • PutTogetherPutTogether Posts: 2,141 ✭✭✭
    Well, if we were just in lala land and I could buy whatever, it would be a 1792 half disme, no question.

    But since you did specify it would have to ENHANCE what we currently collect.....

    PEACE DOLLARS
    100K could get me the following
    1921 in 66
    1934S in 66
    1928 in 66

    Most of S mints in 65. 28S would be top priority though.

    what would you buy that would ENHANCE what you are currently collecting???

    I would feel like my veiwing pleasure would be significantly greater if the house in which I look at my coins were to suddenly increase in equity by about 97K. image... and I'd get a nice key date with the other three K.

    Me too. IMO it's the holy grail of the collectible Seated Liberty dimes. image
