I had to vote "other", as I would buy a 1938 Crown in Uncirculated condition.

I'd just get one early Sydney mint sovereign in the best grade I could for the price.

Hehheh, 3 Australians replying in a row.

I went with other. I'd have to get a 1932d Washington quarter. If I had to chose only from the listed coins I'd go with the 1916d mercury. Looks like you have a hard decision ahead of you.

I agree Terry and that's what I was hoping for

Thanks for your suggestion. I will add it to my growing list of possibilities.

My other is a split decision, I love gold but I'd also be tempted to pick up some sleepers in really nice condition. Like the 1909-S Indian cent and it would leave me with enough change to pick up a 1927-D quarter in AU.

I liked your idea of Gold
but not the Buffalo.

An American Eagle Double Eagle etc.

or a Beautiful Australian Nugget come to mind for me

Oh don't forget to look at the Australian sovereigns and half soverigns
