Not to hijack JamesMurrays thread so....

So you have a choice of how to spend $300, do you buy a 4 oz set form the mint? Or what would you buy? To keep it fair lets just say coins you have bought this year for $300 or less. Personally I'd take any of these, but then again I'm just a coin collector.

    Those are 4 nice options to pick from; I would have to go with the Hamburg piece - amazing detail.

    My favorite this year was this one at $295.

    Personally, this was a good purchase for under $300, key Zurich 65mm shooting medal

    Neat thread idea. My only "qualifying" coin that was a purchase this year and close to $300 was my 1820 George VI halfcrown.

    My pics first, seller's pics on the bottom. In hand it's more like my pics, a tough one to photograph well for sure.

    Well, I'd buy the 25th Ann. SAE set, flip it for $600, and then buy something like the 1000th Hamburg, ...........and, the Aargau. image
