Here's $10,000. How many coins do you want it spent on?

This is an anonymous poll. No one will know your answer.

mannie gray · February 7, 2017 2:19PM

Thank you. I would rather have USPS money orders than PayPal.

Overdate · February 7, 2017 2:21PM

A million 2017-P Lincoln cents. Sure to be worth a fortune someday!

TwoSides2aCoin · February 7, 2017 2:36PM

Less than 100, but more to the point; let me see the coin(s) first. 10G's may not be enough for one.

ctf_error_coins · February 7, 2017 2:38PM

More than 6 as in say 10 thousand dollar coins or 20 five hundred dollars coins.

You still get nice coins but spread the risk around.

BillJones · February 7, 2017 2:39PM

Given my current want list, it could be three coins or it could be one coin.

KollectorKing · February 7, 2017 2:39PM

I'll buy the "best looking" 89-cc Morgan for $10K, more or less.

Anyone have one FS

messydesk · February 7, 2017 2:43PM

One coin at $5K, one at $2K, two at $1K, two at $500.

LindeDad · February 7, 2017 2:52PM

A key in AU58.

Twobitcollector · February 7, 2017 2:55PM

With the placement of the first period it looks like ten dollars to me

roadrunner · February 7, 2017 3:16PM

8000+ coins. In 90% silver circ dimes.

ms70 · February 7, 2017 3:22PM

Probably 3.

Pghpete · February 7, 2017 3:35PM

I'd buy the highest grade 09-S VDB & 14-D I could find.

seanq · February 7, 2017 3:50PM

I am watching a couple hundred eBay auctions right now, and I bet it would take less than $5K to buy them all. Maybe I'd take whatever was left after that and buy one of ErrorsOnCoins' trophys.

presently, it turns out to be 4 coins and i have some money left over for a night out in vegas (that's the pg-13 version).

CharlotteDude · February 7, 2017 5:12PM

Only one, and I'd still owe $$.

Cougar1978 · February 7, 2017 5:21PM

nice slab box of 20

Cameonut · February 7, 2017 5:25PM

2

Fairlaneman · February 7, 2017 5:41PM

As many MS64 and 65 RB Indian Cents as possible.

But what would you include in your box of 20? The box of 20 concept interests me and I'm always curious to hear what people would have if they had to choose 20 coins that they could realistically populate their box with.

mt_msla · February 7, 2017 6:00PM

Focusing on all PCGS grades of the 1964 Kennedy Half. This would help greatly.

PocketArt · February 7, 2017 6:10PM

I'd focus on a respectable key for my collection, and then spend whatever was left on semi-keys. I collect many series so wouldn't put all $10,000 on any one coin; but, would spread the windfall, and fill some holes in collection. I wouldn't be looking for the standout stunner; but yet, a balanced approach to meeting collecting goals.

bolivarshagnasty · February 7, 2017 6:40PM

One coin, something pre 1800, either gold or silver. Something I learned when I returned to collecting is that common coins don't increase in value.

Are you finally starting a Whitman book RR ?

Baley · February 7, 2017 7:00PM

I voted 3.

One of them would be a draped bust small eagle dollar in F15 or VF20.

Not sure of the others, but the dates would probably also start 179-

crazyhounddog · February 7, 2017 7:02PM

I would purchase only one coin but it's a biggie ! Yes if someone gave me 10K so I could go out and spend it on coins I one in mind

1Mike1 · February 7, 2017 7:02PM

I've changed my mind twice since voting.

ricko · February 8, 2017 6:36AM

More than six... but not much more... depends on the coins. I like to have several I can enjoy ...Cheers, RickO

Boosibri · February 8, 2017 6:45AM

Uno

UMCane · February 8, 2017 7:23AM

Three...
I'm a type set collector. $3k per coin can get you some very decent 19th century silver.

1630Boston · February 8, 2017 7:43AM

one for me, don't ask me why.

Hydrant · February 8, 2017 9:17AM

One.

Yorkshireman · February 8, 2017 9:20AM

I voted two.
When I got tired of looking at one, I could look at the other.

Lakesammman · February 8, 2017 4:17PM

Is that $10 to 3 decimal points or $10K??

You forgot to add down payment..........

gulp.... changed.

RYK · February 8, 2017 6:08PM

0.25

anablep · February 9, 2017 10:48AM

The best 1893-S dollar I can find for that price.

asheland · February 9, 2017 11:32AM

Either a Charlotte gold piece or an AU graded Bust Dollar.

david3142 · February 9, 2017 11:39AM

For all the people that would buy only one coin that don't generally make purchases in that range: why is this situation any different? You could save up your current funds if that's how you would collect if you had the money. This is a fun behavioral economics question.
