jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 12:37 pm Normally I would answer with the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent, but it is technically not a classic. So my next choice, inspired by a recent thread, would be a Trade dollar for the 7070. With that kind of money being spent on only one coin (which is so not in my nature), I might as well make it a good one. Of course, were it not for that recent thread, I would be eyeballing a Seated dollar for the 7070 (with or without motto, it is a tossup since both holes are empty).

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 2:02 pm I see lots of suggestions but not many answers to the question... Surprising after 2 pages I thought were were a little more wordy here. Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 2:39 pm Mine would be either a Trade dollar or a 20 cent piece, in BU, since I need them both for my type set. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 3:12 pm The highest grade Charlotte or Dahlonega quarter eagle or half eagle I could get for that money (Numismedia suggests that VF20 is possible for a few dates in either mintmark and/or denomination... looking at these I'd probably go for an 1854-C half eagle - Numismedia value $940). Reason? I want to get as many US mintmarks included in my collection as possible... and I already have the P-D-S trio in many different denominations, an O mint dime is on the way, and the CC and W mints (probably dimes for both) are only a question of ever seeing one for sale (outside ebay anyway). So that only leaves Charlotte and Dahlonega Report this Post to the Staff

edgman Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 4:23 pm An 1909-S VDB Lincoln in the best grade I could get for $1,000. Its a coin I always wanted but could never afford. The only opening left in my Lincoln collection. edgman Report this Post to the Staff
edgman Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 4:27 pm Forgot the Lincoln isn't regarded as a classic coin. In that case a Trade dollar or a 20cent piece in AU for my 7070 album. edgman Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 4:55 pm 1932 $10.00 Indian XF/AU As soon as I read the topic I knew the answer .. this coin is at the top of my list for my 7070 set. I have had the money twice, but end up making other purchases before I find a good deal on one. I am about half way back to having the funds again. I hope to have the coin in the next month or so .. that would leave only three holes left in my gold page. Report this Post to the Staff
