Looking for the nicest coin I can get for $30

This coming Saturday is my 30th birthday. I've decided to buy myself a present. I normally don't go over $20 on a single coin...but I'll go a different route this time. Figure this might be an interesting way to add something nice.

I collect literally everything, so...show me what you have, please image

I do have a favoring of ancients but I really do collect everything.

    rwyarmch, Thank you but I'll have to pass on that. I have one of them that's so far gone it's not even recognizable, but I've got to go with one (or more?) of the ancients offered to me. Thanks!

    Edit-withdrawing my previous offer, as I didn't hear from you.

    However, the main item in that offer was a nice 1st Century Judaean coin, which is still available. I will try to scan some pictures of it.

    Hope you had a good birthday, Billy.

    Well, Lord M does propose an enticing offer. However I believe the title was "the nicest coin I can get for $30" not the most ... but the man of the hour says he favors ancients! What ever will he do?! image

    Well, Nessie, if you'd read my original post, you'd have seen that I was indeed offering ONE nice coin worth at least thirty bucks, and an ancient at that.

    The fact that I was ALSO offering an ADDITIONAL thirty coins worth a total of $30-150 as a gift is irrelevant to anyone but Billy and I.

    It was a very generous offer.

    So much so that I now think I will withdraw it after not hearing back from Billy. Mostly because it would have taken me almost an hour to put the lot together.

    Not that I won't still sell Billy that Judaean coin, once I scan some pix of it, and add a nice freebie or two.

    I'd gladly take the 1850 off your hands. image PS: Billy, it's a good deal at $30.

    Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3

    Thank you for the offers everyone- I saw some very nice things that I would like to have but don't have the funds for, and I found a couple I did have the funds for and will be on their way to me shortly. I will be sending a PM to those whose deals I'm going to take, and thank you for the offer on those I don't.

    I did have a good birthday- mostly - but I still don't have the stamina I once did before I almost died last year, and dealing with my mom's continuing health problems- some of which reared up on my actual birthday- (we very nearly spent it in the emergency room) it took a lot out of me and I haven't been able to get on here sooner.

    I will just GIVE him that Judaean coin.

    Then whether he wants to buy "30 for $30" from me later, or use it for one of y'all's fine offerings, his 30 bucks can be put to use elsewhere.

    I kind of like Steve27's Severus Alexander denarius. That's a common emperor, but anytime one can buy decent ancient silver for $30 or less, it's tempting.

    Then again, Nessie's South African sixpence sounds pretty nice, too.
