An Egyptian gold octadrachm from from a top reputable dealer, with the coin having a proven provenance.
That would sit nicely alongside the Philip 11 of Macedon gold stater that I have, that was acquired in similar circumstances and background way back in 1975. I still have all of the inquiry information and the invoice for this coin, together with photographs provided by the dealer.
Fakes that appear to be in 'as struck' condition abound for both of these types of coins. Almost all of them are made from very good gold and are of the correct weight.

DBM ... As a Canadian Large Cent collector only, the acronyms/abbreviations have me befuddled as well. I think that they are all US terms. IHC I think means Indian Head cent, LWC I think means Large Wreath Cent. The only thing I can even dream up for LMC is Large Matron Cent (1820's or so). They aren't Canadian terms (or coins) so you can save your money for the dictionary. |

R2bR2c I still need the dictionary as I am working on a type set of US quarters.If Bobby and Susan could somehow add these acronyms to the glossary here for us foreigners it would free up a bit my ten grand.

Philippines, 1906S Peso. Certified AU or better if possible. If my auto accident settlement is big enough that I could be a little frivolous, I just might get one.

Thinking about my collection, I would buy an 1921 nickel in VG, 1889 dime in F, a 1885 Quarter in VF, a 1890H Half in VG, a 1894 Half in F and a 1948 in MS60. If I had any left over, I would go to a steak house and celebrate.

Since the question was posed in the Canadian forum, I'll focus on their coins.
Quite a few modern Canadian coins have very low mintages, and perhaps undervalued too.
That, and higher-grade Victorian era coins--especially some BU 50c.

Sorry, I wansn't terribly specific. If I had that much to spend, there are a number of 50c and Dollars in the 40s which have very low mintages, such as 1947ML $1, 1948 $1, the 47ML 50c, 48 50c--just a few from memory.

1893 RT3 10 cents, and a 1947 ML c7R 50 cent. Both can be found, but really
problem free, attractive circulated examples rarely ever come up for sale.
