Coinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 09:22 am I would look for at least 1 if not 2 nice coins for my type set and get a few inexpensive things I need with the rest. If I had $3k for 1 show I would have to walk out the door with more than 1 or 2 coins. I need more things in my bag than 2 no matter how little funds I have. Report this Post to the Staff
atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 10:07 am $3,000.00 is just about the exact amount I'd need to complete my US sets. I'd get the 1909-S VDB cent, a 1913-S Type-2 Buffalo, a 3-Legged Buffalo, a 2009-P Jefferson, and a 1936 Proof quarter. There might be enough left where I could upgrade the four Buffalo nickels I already have that were acid cleaned. While typing the previous paragraph, I also thought of two other items I might buy if I had 'free money'. These would be the matte-proof and gold Kennedy's. Depending on who you talk to, these may or may not be 'official' Kennedy half set coins, but they would really give me a 'full set' feeling. If I did get them, I'd swap the two Buffalo's for them.

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5856 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 10:18 am Classic proof coins, no question about it. With that sort of money I could probably find a decent (PR62-64) example of a proof Morgan dollar, Seated Liberty dollar, 20 Cent Piece, Barber half dollar, etc. All of these are in the $1000-3000 range until you start getting to the really high grades (PR65 and up), but I've found a number of lower grade proofs that have wonderful eye appeal.
