Christmas help...need coins!!

Hello,
Christmas is coming soon and I would like to purchase some coins for my boyfriend. I am not a wealthy person but would really like to get him something special. So, I am looking for someone willing to let me make payments on some coins for him. I could start making payments now and finish paying off in time for them to arrive for Christmas. Anyway I am not sure which way to go but he only has 6 coins left to complete his Jefferson collection, yet he would love to own a Flying Eagle, (Just one of those coins I know he drools over). If there is anyone out there, willing to let me make payments on these coins so that I could do this for him please PM me. Also, any thoughts from you all on which would be more exciting...being able to have your first completed coin album or having that coin you always drool over? oooooh descisions decisions.
Thanks all
Ginger
The Jeffersons he needs are MS64 or better -- 51P, 51S, 52P, 52D, 53D, 60D
or an AU Flying Eagle

It would be better if you posted this on the B,S, & T - Coins board. Someone over there interested in selling coins would likely see it and respond to you.

Why not get him a nice 1861-O half in near au? Cool coin, nice history story, not too expensive, silver, it's all good.

I would enjoy just having a girlfriend...er, Mrs. RYK would not be very happy about it, though.
Actually, I will echo what Pharmer said above but will soften it up. While most of us male collectors appreciate (or would appreciate) our significant others to be supportive of our hobby, unless she were engaged in coins herself, I personally would not want my wife choosing coins for me.
Buy him an iphone instead.

There's nothing wrong with credit, down payments or lay-aways. It sure isn't begging. It's just another type of business transaction. It's done thousands of times a day.
And what's wrong with asking advice on purchasing a gift? How many times as Joe Blow said to the sales lady: "Which do you think she'll like better?"
Chill out.

Have to disagree pharmer. It's not credit, it’s layaway. And you CAN afford it with multiple payments just as well as paying all at once. I could have paid for my house with one payment, but felt that using that money for investments would yield better results than the home appreciation. Each to his or her own. Lighten Up and have a wonderful Holiday season.
Ha. Haha. Nice.
I'd do the single coin, as an answer to your original question. You are right, he will alwys think of you as a result. I vote a nice flying eagle - to see one with luster is cool.
<< <i>Soon after we were married 27 years ago, I bought my wife a set of golf clubs and shoes and took her to the private club where I was a member. A couple sessions on the driving range and one full round later, the clubs are still in the garage, good as new. When we bought our cabin on the St Vrain River, I showed her (didn't try to teach her, having learned a little from the golf dealie) what I did when fly fishing. She said "yeah, I thought it was something like that", and left me to it. When I got my scuba certification for the second time, this time with my youngest daughter so she would have a dive buddy and I could learn correctly this time, my wife said "you're a good Daddy" while assiduously not joining us. All of which is for the good, we need our separate interests. My point? It's obvious, but more than, I think it takes some nerve to come on here asking for credit to buy coins you cannot afford, and to top it off, don't even know what you want. Christmas indeed. >>
What a Richard
Good luck, Snap! I think that the BST is a great place to go to do what you are looking to do - make sure that you use one of the sellers who is active on this board, though. There have been quite a few *ahem* opportunists over there...
