Some high grade proof Trade dollars, DMPL 19th century gold, and some Gobrecht dollars.

I know, but it's hard to clean off the stains after I eat spaghetti *sigh*

Well, I guess it won't be quite as big as I hoped for, but I did hit a 3+1 for $150.

I could finally obtain my Trade dollar (possibly an 1884) and fill the other holes in my 7070,
I mentioned that I have some holes I want to fill first, the Trade dollar for the 7070 being one of them.

Well, I bought a bag of halves from the bank, and found a large cent. It may have been an 1854. Felt like I had hit the lottery.

That is a win.

I know it's late to the game, but with that kind of money, I would get a complete set of U.S. Three Cent coins.

And by a complete set, I'm thinking I would try to own every coin.

That is good to know. The price on the two in my 7070 are... how much did you win again?

After giving it some serious thought I was only able to narrow my list of 8 down to 2.

1. 1943 Copper LWC.
2. Brutus Denarius Eid Mar variety.

I would probably start a collection of 14th 15th and 16th century gold coins. Ancient coins amaze me, if only I had the extra spare cash

I thought about this a bit during the big lottery. The first thing I'd do is to set up a nonprofit numismatic charity with myself in control, and then donate my winnings to it. Why, you ask? That way I could be the idiot who donated my winnings to charity which would make everyone think I was poor. Most of them wouldn't realize that I'd get a HUGE tax return the following year, which would still leave me with a third of the money in my personal accounts.

Being the CEO of the numismatic charity, I could set up offices in all my favorite places and probably not have to pay property taxes. I could travel the world buying neat coins while the charity paid my way along with a nice salary, company car, and all the other perks a CEO needs...but best of all it would ensure that my in-laws would never get the chance to squabble over my coin collection!

...and yeah, I'd probably buy ALL of my favorite coin. :-)))
