I was alerted to this today:

What should I buy with this windfall?

nice walker in 65 ?

It's a trick from a certain coin grading company to get you to admit to have lived at that address. Then they can serve you with papers.

1932-D Wash, in VF-XF. These are very underpriced.

RGL · April 22, 2005 9:14AM

Legal fees?

mgoodm3 · April 22, 2005 9:15AM

a nice worn semi-key Morgan.

Add a little and buy a half ounce of gold.

Or any mint marked Wash quarter from the '30's in the XF-AU range

If you want to get me a present, anything will do

Send it to the charity auction I'm about to start... if nothing else, there's a nice GSA dollar in it

Bust Quarter in the Vg-Fine range

Nothing, it's a trap.

I like that idea, one of the coins I need for my type set. Finding nice circulated, unmolested examples is difficult though.

I DID spend $200 on coins today.

My choices were an 1865 2¢ piece raw that has one of the best strikes I've ever seen. It's RB, and I count it MS65 with a well centered strike, smooth color, and a great planchet, and a raw 34-S Peace dollar in AU-50 that's a nice white coin with luster and upper wing detail. I had enough left over for a 59-D FBL Franklin I grade MS64 and a 56 Washington that's got killer luster. It was a great coin day.

Anything from my auctions

.357 piece

CoinHusker · April 22, 2005 10:13AM

How about a complete BU/proof set of Ike's in a Dansco? There's some gems to be found in those sets.

stockwiz · April 22, 2005 10:19AM

1909-O quarter in VF.. nice specimen...

BARBER

anablep · April 22, 2005 10:30AM

None. Take your wife out to dinner and a movie and enjoy the night...

Myqqy · April 22, 2005 10:33AM

I would look for an attractive cc morgan, perhaps with some nice toning.....

fivecents · April 22, 2005 11:29AM

Draped Bust quarter is a good choice.

mirabela · April 22, 2005 12:30PM

I'll second the suggestion that you take your wife for a date -- $200 can get you a real nice dinner and good tickets to a concert someplace comfy with good sound. But... if you have to spend it on a coin, maybe hunt down a nice proof Liberty 5c. They're cute, and they don't cost all that much.

ChangeInHistory · April 23, 2005 1:18AM

I have to agree with the dinner suggestion. It may lead to being able spend much more than $200 on coins!

prooflike · April 23, 2005 2:38AM

I just got my check for $87.09 from the State of CA & I haven't decided what to get yet, I'll start my own thread!
