what to spend 100k on?

I am receiving a gov't contract for 335k, tax free, for this year, would like to spend 100k on some coins, I have a very respectable collection of coins and currency. Looking for some classics, maybe 1-3 coins. Granted I will be out of the country for 335 days this year, but wanted to hear some ideas of what you would add to you collection. I know, everyone collects differently, just looking for some suggestions.image

    I'd suggest spending the money on Massachusetts silver. They're fun coins and, if you're selective, great value.

    Wow 100k, not bad at all, If I were you I would consider several coins including the following depending on what is available: a nice problem free f-vf chain cent , 1909 vdb lincoln matte proof, g-vg problem free 1792 half dime, ms 1916 standing liberty, vf 1848 CAL. $2.5, any cc gold or any early 1790's gold.

    PR66 Trade Dollars - you could complete over half the set with that amount. But be selective.
