One of those big 1 kilo Canadian monster Gold things. Don't even remember what it's called but it would be cool to have.
Maybe I could use it as a Dinner plate?

is that the dark ages ...or renaissance continental dollar?

Don't know how much they sold for...I just think they are beautiful.
Buying top quality Seated Dimes in Gem BU and Proof.
Buying great coins - monster eye appeal only.

The 1799 Bust $ I saw around 2002 in the spring at Long Beach. B & M was auction a series of Bust $s and was previewing them at this show. The 1799 was toned a midnight blue (obverse & reverse). The coins was fully struck and the surfaces were clean; I didn't see a single mark on the coin. It was in a PC 4 holder (I guess the graders didn't think it had enough cartwheel luster; I disagree with them).
The other coin would be any problem-free RB Classic Large Cent in 3 or 4 (don't know whether there is anything higher and don't care). Don't want a coin with carbon, fingerprint(s) or a porous planchet.

1st. the finest known 1793 chain cent s-2
2nd. would be the finest known 1893-S morgan $1
and if none of those were availiable i would snagg a 1917 matte proof lincoln cent, the finest known of course...
oops forgot it was for only one coin...In that case, the Oct. Pan Pac. $50
