And why? I'm open to anything. So far I only have Morgan's, Lincoln's, classic Commemoratives, and Jefferson's. I'd like something different but I'm not familiar with other series.

Congrats! I guess it depends on how different you want to go. My go-to is always a coin I always wanted but couldn’t afford or justify. At this point it would be something gold. You could get a nice circulated $10 gold coin around that price. That would be different but might spark gold fever!
Since you like Lincolns, why not choose a really nice red Indian Head Cent? Maybe a Seated Dollar. Basically something that is of the same denomination and one type over.
Add $2000 more and get that new palladium eagle!
Gold.
tell me you don't work for the post office.

I was thinking about a nice proof Indian cent in RB or a nice proof V nickel.
No. I work at the Loma Linda Veterans Hospital.
honorable employment, helping others. Congratulations on the award.

And thank you for that, keep up the great work! Indian head cents are a great series. If you want something totally different you can get some mercury dimes. They are really lovely coins and if you work backwards in years you can pick up some gems for very little.

If I had the extra 1,000 bucks I'dl look for the highest grade PCGS Seated Dollar that I could get. If not that, as high a grade PCGS graded Barber Half Dollar to add to my type set.
I should start a type set too.
Go for the gold.
Buy PQ generic gold! 😎
I was told it’s a money pit but have done well.
Look at world coins. There are a ton to choose from and plenty of great designs.
Congratulations.
2 gold sovereigns, each with a different monarch.
Great time to start flight training
That's awesome. We've suspended all our bonuses and awards (along with so many other things). I would look at something super collectible - a key date, or a condition rarity, or something super shiny that I normally wouldn't be able to get - a Proof Walker or IHC or Buff.
Good luck picking. Can't wait to see what you pick!
I get a bonus every year and like clockwork about a week before the bonus something happens that causes an unexpected expense. 😫
I would pick up something really cool like a wrong denomination error.. some thing you could show non-collectors and even they would think it was neat.
Based on what you have shown on this board, and what you say you have, I would consider one to a few type set offerings of a Walker, a Standing Lib', a Mercury Dime and a Buffalo Nickel. Maybe some slightly better date material and in similar or complementing grades to the rest of your collection. Any of these (especially the Walker) should fit in well with your Commemoratives as representation of the Classic 20th Century designs, and will help set you up for a 20th Century Type Set should you decide to pursue completing that.
And thank you for your service to our former service men and women.

+1, get yourself a nice $10 Indian.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Gold. It's what all the cool kids are buying!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
If it’s $1000 after taxes, I say add a few hundred and get a nice $10 generic date Indian
If it’s before taxes, then get a nice $5 gold coin
Something that you wouldn’t normally get and that you would remember how your earned it.,,,
If golds not your thing then a trade $ or liberty seated dollar
Generic gold on gold
You sound like a good guy....... do something for someone needy you will feel better in the long run.
If it was me I would probably be gold, or a nice proof.

My sister told me long ago, " never should on yourself." Best advice I ever got. But since you asked , my thought is "as much gold as you can.
For example : did a quick eBay search.
``https://ebay.us/m/KxolR5
Perhaps, with some searching, you could find a really nice original proof Barber Half, or a proof Walker. Both great coins to enjoy, and show off.
I like this advice, but would add that the new piece(s) should be in old holders since this would also align with your interests and might present a challenge in finding just the right coin.

Something I got 😁
"I work at the Loma Linda Veterans Hospital." Thank you for your service to our Veterans. It is difficult to suggest specifics for another collector. Most of us end up suggesting what 'we' would like to have in such circumstances. I would normally recommend some gold. A collector coin would hold both interest and liquidity. Good luck and let us know what you decide. Cheers, RickO
Thanks for your service to veterans, of which I am one. I too am attracted to MS holdered IHC. Plenty to consider. Do you have a local coin dealer that you can visit to enjoy some coin prerusing? Peace Roy

Definitely in the old gold camp as well!
(3) early Washington Quarters in PCGS MS-65; 1932, 1934-D, & 1935-S.
Either a Gold type coin or a key coin in your existing series, such as the 09 S VDB. Enjoy!
As stated above, a nice proof walker. $1k can get a very nice one from 1937-42.

Nice Proof Walker.
ammunition and a Proof Indian Cent
If for single coin collection purposes a 1913 Proof Buffalo Nickel. If for investment, others are wiser than I for that advice.

Long story short.... I can't possess ammo or firearms for 2 more years. Thanks California. Many years ago though...
Thoughts on an MS64 O/CC Morgan?
Ehh.. it's a Morgan. It is an interesting issue at least, since the CC mint was 7 years out of operation in 1900.

Put the money in the bank.
Then my wife would spend it. That's a big no!
Save it, add to it, and save it for something special.
Umm...
congrats. gold
A nice gift for me.
could very well be age of OP and anti-Constitution state restrictions
