I'm going to repeat what someone said earlier and go with a 1946 Newfoundland Nickel...which is really silver...and referred to as 5 cents.

The 1946 nf is a good buy, might be a hard find in that grade , I got an ef a few months ago paid $700.00 plus costs , I would have settled for a lesser grade but hard to find there are only 2040 or so , very rare nothing is close , in a not so exotic coin . The only coin rarer would be the 1921 5cent in a 5 cent series.I would like more if I found any at 500.00 vg and up.

Most have responded with coins that are already valuable. I think the challenge is find the coins that will in the future be more valuable.

Just my opinion but for $500 the best quality 50 cents around 1932 to 1936 or 1909 ,1910 ,1914 Canadian sovereign .Just started collecting again and was wondering if the 48 dollar is worth what it is, then I would look at a 47 ML dollar.

Sice this thread started in response to the 20,000/20,000 penny roll getting so high in bids, should we not change the topic to " you have $6600, what is the one coin you would buy?" If so, I would still look for a 1946 NFLD 5 cent, but in much better condition.  |

Gold $5 Indian.
That way, you have TWO bases covered: the PM base and the numismatic one as well.
Will always be able to move it on, if you the owner falls out of love with it.
For me the unique design design helps.

An 1880 25 cent narrow 0. or a 1891 25 cent in VF20.

Actually, I have just spent my money on another numismatic item:
A gold kahavanu of Sri Lanka in the periopd of the Chola invasion. Price was $450 but the dealer, whom I know very well over decades, took $50 off the price.
He is also currently running a numismatic auction, the catalogue of which has just been released. Has about $4.5 million in total lot estimate value.
4689 lots, the significant ones colour illustrated in a catalogue of over 500 glossy pages.

You can currently bid on line if you wish.

Either a 1912 $5, a 1983 1/4oz Krugerrand, or a downpayment on a 2013 Gold Maple. As you can probably tell, I think it's ludicrous to buy into numismatic value vs. tangible value.
