If your new to collecting I suggest you spend the $100 on going to a bank and getting 2 $50 bags of cents and have fun looking through them. However, every time someone asks this question I tell them you may as well ask who should I marry, what car should I buy, what house should I buy, should I have kids, should I cheat on my taxes?
All such questions are based on what YOU like, not others.

Since you like IHCs and Wheaties, you could get the three 1909s in AU-MS for $100 or less (1909 IHC, 1909 Lincoln, 1909 VDB Lincoln). $100 would also get you a lower grade(G4-F12) 1909-S Wheatie or 1908-S IHC if you were interested in more of a semi-key date  |

I know what I'd do. I'd go get something that magnifies these coins big enough for a human being with grama eyesight to see. My biggest is a 20x and I think I have permanent "squinty-eye/one-eye-shut-itis." I have a couple that look like the mintmark is just a blob; can't figure it out. That's what I'd do with my free $100.

I think a 1908-S is a brilliant idea for that money.

I have been roll searching for about 3 months now and I have a RedBook and plenty of supllies like 2x2's and a magnifing glass so I bought a Dansco #7100 Lincoln album and have been busy filling it up. I also bought a box of pennies and went through those. I have a complete set of memorials and am still working on the Wheat cents. I am leaning toward purchasing a 1924D Wheatie for the collection and have been wathcing the prices on ebay to see what condition goes for what price. Thanks for the advise and I will post the '24D when I get it. |

I would say use that whole 100 dollars towards just one coin. Get the most expensive ones you can afford first, because the cheaper ones will always be cheaper than the expensive ones. For 100 bucks you should be able to find a nice 1921 Peace dollar. That is what I paid for mine and I am happy with the buy. |
