I may be in line for $55K.... Do you buy a coin, or.....
![UtahCoin](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/Copy (3) of 4-17-04 004.jpg)
Next month I testify in a BIG murder trial in Los Angeles (my 2nd America's Most Wanted Trial in as many years). I am the "star" witness for the prosecution. I was recently informed that a $55K reward is in place for the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the crime.
What to do.... I thought about giving it to the family (if I even apply for it), but they really don't need it. To me the money feels a little "dirty".. If I do apply for it (assuming the person is convicted), and receive it, and then decided to buy a coin (or a few), what would you buy?

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

what protection is given to the witnesses in these cases? You might need to beef up Fort Knox around your residence......Not thinking negative or anything, just realistic.
Take the $$$, it's offered to you!
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

The trial in CA is because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time 7.5 years ago. The first was Jordan Allgood who was killed at the coin shop in St George, UT 4 years ago.

Strike the last sentence and send the rest to me.

I am one of those rare Americans that has no debt. The house is paid for, the cars are paid for, zero credit card debt...

I wouldn't be in any hurry to buy coins. Cash is King today.

Note to self... Don't hang out with UtahCoin
I would buy a whole group of any key date coins in the price range of $1000 to $2000 each. That way, you've got a great collection that will always be in demand and should appreciate nicely over time.

Blow 10% of it (after taxes) and save the rest.

Never met him. Just some staff people.

<< <i>do the right thing with it >>
Yeah man, smoke it!
You might want to consider one of these too
HOWEVER...........if you'd have testified for the prosecution either way, why wouldn't you take the money? I just can't fathom why anyone would feel negative about doing what you did. You have every reason to feel good, and no reason to feel bad, money considerations notwithstanding.
Since Longacre isn't around to tell you this, be sure to set aside at least a third of it for taxes. Put some towards your kid's educations, then buy something nice for your wife.
Don't worry about buying a coin for yourself. Take care of those who are important to you first, and you will be just fine.
I knew it would happen.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I doubt you'll ever see that money. But if you do, and you have no debt as you indicated, then buy whatever the hell turns your crank.
Me, I'd blow it all on MS70 State quarters.

All the "AH" and "Dot-head" Kennedys 20 grand can buy!

Especially if you can print as much of it as you want.
I'd buy an assortment of Canadian Maple Leafs: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Maybe even putting some in an IRA.
