<< <i>Without reading others choices.....?????????......?????........So many treats to choose from, 1794-S=48 starred reverse in the highest grade there is. >>
Well your dream can be a reality as the Walter Husak sale in Feb by Heritage just so happens to contain the finest known S-48 in PCGS 50.
Here is the description from coinfacts:
<< <i>VF-35 to EF-45 (illustrated above). Stack's 9/1972:662, $15.000.00 - John W. Adams - B&R FPL, 1982:43, offered at $50,000, not sold - B&R "Rare Coin Review 46", $50,000 - Dr. Boyd Edwards Hayward - B&M, offered at the 1985 ANA convention for $65,000, not sold - B&M 04/1986:945, bought back at $41,000 - Ted Naftzger - Eric Streiner (purchased in 1992) - Jay Parrino - B&M 3/1985 - Walter Husak >>
I am fascinated wondering what all of Walter's great coins will bring. Will each lot bring more or less than if he had sold them piecemeal? There are nearly 300 lots, if each lot sells for an average of $100K then the collection could total some $30 Million. I know some of the lots are worth at least $250K. How much for the S-48 starred reverse? The Abbey cent 1799? The mint state chains? The MS 67 RB 1794's?
it would have to be this one because I would have 1 of 5,and would assume they would want the 5th to complete the "set" so a premium would be paid THEN I could buy almost every coin mentioned by everyone here and the ones I want to fill a few holes in my collection
<< <i>I'd take that BIG-ARSE gold "coin" that is like 5 million dollars! You know the pic I am talking about, the one with the armed guards standing around it. >>
I'm listening to the Jethro Tull "Nightcap" album right now. Two discs of unreleased material from 1973-1991.
Though I have all thirty-some of their albums on CD, I didn't even know this set existed until last month, and when I discovered it, it was like a treasure find! 'Tis a veritable time capsule of stuff that didn't make the studio albums, but should have. Some of it is better than the stuff that made the final cut.
I only mention this totally off-topic tidbit because I remember you as a Tull-friendly type.
Why are so many of you picking five or six figure coins? You should be picking a seven figure coin. You can always sell it and use the money to buy several five and six figure coins.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

To me, the coins history or impact of this nation is more important to me then the monetary value. For me, there is no other coin I would want more then a 1776 continental dollar. I will never ever be able to own the real thing, but it would be nice. In fact I would probably die from a heart attack if I ever got to hold one. That is one coin I would like to touch in it's raw state.

So, pick a 7 figure coin, sell it, and buy several continental dollars. There are several varieties from different dies and they were struck in different metals (copper, silver, and pewter).

Because I'm not thinking along the flipping game. I'm thinking of the 1 coin I would want to have in my collection, not one that would give me the most money so I could have more coins. The question was if you could own only ONE coin, what would it be. So, my answer answers the question and to me an answer involving picking a high dollar coin to flip for multiples of others, does not answer the question, because you now have more then ONE coin in your collection.

I'm great, and I didnt know about that Tull disc...so I'm off to the record section! Pan Pac is just a very cool coin. I'm partial to the Octagon, myself.

Me too, maybe, but it would have to be an Octagonal, and since there is no limit, I would want the nicest one in existence.
Ask me tomorrow, and I might have a different choice.

I think both of the gold Aureus are impounded in Museums...so there is no pricing available.
But, I could be the MOST EXPENSIVE coin in the world if one of them came to auction...It is probably is the MOST HISTORICAL coin.
The silver Denarius are more common and often come to auction. Here's one on EID MAR on CNG that brought about $100k
