    Wow - Must be 50 coins there! I think you have some repeats to your image.

    If I was going after patterns, it would be the Amazonian set since it includes silver and gold patterns.

    Ooops.

    Correct Link

    They have one of these at the ANS exhibit at the Fed in New York, right next to the 1933. I spent a lot more time looking at this one!

    Screw the bank boxes. If I won the lottery I would custom design a house ($500,000-$1 million range) complete with a separate room just for my collections. Of course a bank worthy vault would be installed.

    I'd build the biggest house in town, trade the rest of the money in for TONER FRANKLINS, ACCENT HAIR KENNEDY'S, AND MONSTER TONER MORGAN, and then throw them at the "poor" people that walked by my house or stepped on and bent my grass. Aiming for heads of course.image

    Actually I would buy the next 1913 V nickel available just to piss off my girlfriend. She hates my coins.
    I'll tell you what to do.
    Go that way.
    Really fast.
    If something gets in your way, turn.

    She hates Guns also, and If you know Brownings You know what my handle is.........I think its a little of the opposites attract thing. She used to be very liberal (teacher) but she is starting to see things my way more every day.

    I would look for the most beautiful gold coins - probably mostly European.. since American gold has but few truly artistic examples. Then I would buy a few that I really liked. Most likely that would end my collecting ... although I would frequently admire my acquisitions. Cheers, RickO
