a voucher of 3 Million USD for coins (can be used for coins only) and you could buy up to three coins that exist at their current fair market value, which one(s) would you buy ? Also you will not be allowed to sell the coin(s) for 10 years this this thought game.

    I wouldn't be spending money like that on coins or any other collectible.

    Not sure if under 3m, but I'd like a Brasher Doubloon.

    Ultra High Relief Saint would be on the list for sure.

    1794 Dollar

    Roman- Eid mar Caeser coin would be at the top of the list.

    A stella, $10 draped bust gold and the nicest 1808 $2.50 I could afford with what's left.

    Something like that, definitely all gold, maybe switch out the stella for a different early gold piece.

    A Morgan Dollar, A Walking Liberty Half and a Mercury Dime. I have no idea which ones, but at that price point I'm guessing they would all be pretty spectacular! :D

    You don't have enough money ...

    The coins I'd like to get would come to well under $3 million.

    • A Choice AU Chain Cent ... maybe an AMERI.

    • A 1907 Periods Wire Edge $10 Gold

    • A nice Humbert $50 gold slug with edges that aren't all banged up.

    Highest grade/nicest looking UHR Saint, Stella, and then a late 1700’s gold coin, as yet to be determined.

    If I had to blow $3M on only three coins, I would get 1804, 1823, and 1827 (original) quarters in the highest grade I could get with the $3M. These are the three scarcest early quarter dates and would be awesome to own! If I could get a fourth, I’d get a 1796.
