blueifalcon

Have you been soaking gummy bears in vodka again friend? Convert everting to platinum and gold and carry in your pockets. tehehe

AUandAG

My "box of 20" idea for silver conversion is a box of 40 $20 gold pieces. Simple, easy to carry and
always convertible to food, gas, Vodka (I see you don't need more of that), women and song.

There you go comrade!

gummibear

20 Gold coins one from each century from 100 to 2000. Each one has to be form a different country. As many sizes as possible.

Richard

66Tbird

Good for the grade type just below the price jump.

GrumpyEd

I would go for an assortment of US gold...
Start with double eagles, a UHR, a buff, modern eagles etc... Like a type set of big US gold coins.

pakasmom

I would use a 'denomination method' (The finest examples of 1/2 cents through dollars) with a criteria of: 1. quality, 2. uniqueness and 3. personal preference.
My taste is pretty pedestrian. So my "dream box of twenty" would include a '56 FEC, a Mercury Dime, a Walker. For you, it may be a chain cent, a rare half dime, a reeded edge bust, etc.
I'd also include an ASE, - but it would be the '08 with the '07 reverse, so I had an example of the issue, - but with a twist of uniqueness.
I love the incuse Indians in gold, (but the two and a halves aren't large enough to fully appreciate the design work,) - so the five dollar would be my choice for that one denomination example.
One classic commem... etc.

secondrepublic

5 one-ounce platinum American Eagles, including one "burnished" and one proof = cost around $10,000
10 uncirculated $20 Saints and/or $20 Liberties in MS 64 or higher, get some common dates and some better dates = cost around $30,000
5 nice classic "type" coins in high grades, PCGS/CAC certified. 1909-S VDB cent, a nice CC morgan dollar, a nice bust half, $10 gold Indian, etc. = cost around $10,000

Baley

20-coin pre-1816 US (or world) type set with mid-to-high grade examples of major, highly recognizable gold, silver, and maybe one or two copper coins.

PCGS holders, preferably with all the bells and whistles, and most of the coins should be larger than a nickel.

So, for example, flowing hair dollar, bust dollar small eagle, bust dollar heraldic eagle, capped bust $5, draped bust $10, Draped bust cent, classic head cent, flowing hair half dollar, draped bust half dollar, capped bust half dollar, draped bust quarter, and maybe the equivalents in spanish colonial silver reals and gold escudos. Perhaps round out the 20 with some awesome ancients, the one with the owl, the one with the pegasus, etc...

each coin should make you go WoW, comrade

epcjimi1

LOL, well done, OP. Funny stuff.

If I had 70 grr to drop on a box of 20, I'd acquire some Charlotte gold, a few CC gold pcs, a Clark & Gruber territorial gold piece or two, some nice monster Morgans, and a some St. Gaudens double eagles.

Get the good ones, that'll set ya back 50 to 70 grand.

coincopwife

Just send it all to me then you don't have to carry it.

Hey, you said it was a giveaway.

coinkid855

1) UHR PCGS MS70
2) Common Date Morgan MS67+
3) Saint in MS66+
4) PR66CAM Seated 25c
5) 1799 DB $1 AU55
6) 1652 Pine Tree Shilling VF25
7) 1851 LC MS65RB
8) PF65RD CAM Indian 1C
9) 1909-S VDB MS65RD
10) 1955 DDO 1C MS64BN
11) Common Date G$1 MS64
12) Common Date PF65 CAM Morgan

For those 12, I theoretically spent about 48 grand. So you have your choice of 8 more coins with an average price of around $1800 each. That brings you to a sum total of 70k. I think it's a pretty nice mix of classic proofs and key dates and such.

Good luck to you, and thanks for the chance!

Jinx86

Hey guys just have a few beers and it all makes sense.

Thanks for the chance, comrade.

Right now for me its been high end world coins with low mintages under 100K, they are just too affordible. Sometimes Im pulling these out of belt buckets.

SaorAlba

Смешно и поддельные немецкие коммунисты!

A "year set" of St Gaudens will fill your box of 20 from 1907-1929. If you decide to finish off the set, you could put the 30-S and a 31 for your front pockets and the 32 and 33 in your back pockets. Those 4 extras shouldn't weigh you down too much when you're running from Boris & Natasha. Have fun!

Since comrade is going south from russia, a box of 20 one oz 2012 gold panda coins in ms70 will buy him out of china. Haha

Not sure whats going on but what the heck :-)

WoodenJefferson

For value under two pounds (1 KILO) 20 each 1995-W PROOF AMERICAN SILVER EAGLE PCGS PR-69 DCAM, box-o-twenty $60,000 (1,757,160 rubles)

note: very liquid even in today's economy

Justlooking

I'd buy one really nice $70,000 coin and sew it in your underwear so the rooskies can't find it.

droopyd

I'd go with a type set of "error" coins.

1955 DDO Lincoln cent
1942/41 Mercury dime
1937 3-legged Buffalo nickel (or the 1918/17-D)
1918-17-S SLQ
1909/8 St. Gaudens
etc.

Plenty of overdates in the early series to pick from!

If you really have some scratch go for a 1943 copper cent as the centerpiece.

P.S. "Tanks for beeg geevaway," I see big trouble for moose and squirrel.

SurfinxHI

Wild toners, ex-GSAguy collection, only 5 or 6 coins needed!!! And they will probably appreciate nicely!

TorinoCobra71

A box of 20 different date and MM morgan dollars in MS65DMPL.

Batman23

I tink you keep er down to one easy to smuggle coin that you can slip into ta poket. Dat way you can hang onto da Vodka in one hand and yer change of underware in da other. Just buy dis one and you run much faster, yes.

JJM

20 or so St Gaudens, or $20 libs, in PCGS au58-ms62

VikingDude

I think the obvious thing is to convert everything into Goldschlager vodka!

ClosedLoop

one coin from each metal:
copper
silver
gold
platinum
bronze
steel
clad and so on..
probably be a lot of fun with that type of money and you wouldn't
be stuck looking at the same color coin all the time.
thanks for the chance.

oilstates2003

One of each high grade below:
20.00 double eagles
20.00 Saint Gaudens
10.00 Liberty
10.00 Indian
5.00 Half eagles
1 set of 1908-1929 2.50 Indian set MS-63 (15 coin set)

Can't go wrong with a little pre 33 gold....
Thanks for the chance.
Jamie

mhammerman

Self has box of 20 type pre '33. Easily within the dollar range you're talking about and sure to amaze your other comrades as well as yourself as well as those that come after you as you are not likely to sell them unless the wolf comes to the door. And, besides, they are still fun to take out and spread them out on a table and day dream about what it was like in Charlotte in 1842, or Philadelphia in 1908 or New Orleans in 1851; can you imagine, and realize that someone of some means had this in their pocket...Wellcomen zum New Country and congrats on 5000 posts. You're a great contributor.
