@Basebal21: I would get a confederate half dollar

Are you talking about an 1861 O or an original

Did you see this one recently on ebay?

I must have missed that one. I was thinking something along the lines of the top right onehttp://www.johnbhamrickcoins.com/jb...CATEGORY=74. Id actually like everything on that page.

Im going to assume a true original would be out of the price range of the 20k

A true original would probably be closer to the $1M level. Ten years later and with all the new super prices that have been paid for rarities a price of a million or more would not surprise me at all.

One monster coin. Ideally a 1796 Half Cent to complete my date set of Half Cents.

Of course, that coin would take the whole $20k chunk ... in G4 condition!

I would finish off my current albums first.

Then I would start some of the other sets I have been contemplating over the years.

If there is anything left, some high grade Eisenhower dollars.

How many times can the coin fairy come?

I actually did a little googling and it looks like theres only 4 true originals for the CSA half dollars, 1M might be a wishful estimate for something like that especially considering all the civil war collectors that would likely be interested as well.

A line in my post about the cost of an original CSA half dollar seems to have disappeared.

The last time a genuine CSA half sold was 2003, in the John J Ford collection, and it went for $632,000. Ten years later and after all these other super high prices have been paid for coins, $1M for a genuine CSA half dollar seems pretty reasonable.

Condor with some of the other things that have gotten a million Id say thatd probably be the starting bid now knowing its been a decade since one hit the market. Even with enough money seems like thats one of those things that could be a pipe dream anyway

That confererate re-strike is super cool.

I would buy $20,000 in junk silver, dump it all on the floor and then roll around in it like a pig in the mud.

Well being that the Coin Fairy did not say what I had to do with the coins that I bought with the money, I would get it all in $1 coins thus fulfilling the terms of the note and then use those along with other funds to pay cash for a new truck.

Same only a car.

$20,000 in more morgans would have to be the route. I would take. Does anyone know when that fairy will show up.
My wife said it would have to come from the fairy. If not I was going to be in deep dodo.

I'd use it to fill holes in my current collection and perhaps a Canadian 1948 Silver Dollar.
