$50 For Any One Coin

hmm I would probably get a 3 cent nickel, I really think they are under priced but that is just my opinion and you can get a pretty nice one for 50 bucks and in this series there is usually some spectacular clashing going on, I was once told it is harder to find one without clashing that to find one with it. I bought a PCGS MS-64 for about 60 bucks on ebay so I am sure you can find one you like if you even like the series. This is just one mans opinion and others may have a slam dunk better coin for you in mind but this is if it was just 50 bucks I wanted to get rid of and have a coin to show for it, the coin I would probably choose

Buy what you like. Buy what's pretty. You're not building a specific collection - you're just buying a coin. You'll get a different answer from every poster in this thread, and they'll all be right.

Just make sure the coin's worth $50.

Me, I'd probably snag a nice Walking Liberty half.

Whatever you decide, let us know. We may even have what you are looking for.

I think the 3 cent nickel idea is a pretty good one, but there are a whole lot of the common dates out there.

$50 will get you a pretty decent coin in the capped bust or Seated half dime or dime series.

1859 Indian Head cent? Nice one year type coin.

Sometimes $50 will get you a decent-looking 1934-S Peace dollar.

What do you want?

I would buy something different, such as a Flying Eagle cent, a Three Cent piece, Half Dime, 20 cent piece, etc.

Are you looking only in US coins?
Is there something not coin related you enjoy?
for example, do you like animals? what kind?
do you like ships? Maybe going in the direction of something you like you can incorporate your coin collection to follow suit. Also If you mention something here, then that could help us to perhaps let you know of some options you may not be aware of.
There are thousands of coins out there you can buy with $50.00.
Lets narrow it down a bit by looking for a theme to it.

Have you checked out Seated Liberty half dollars?
Beautiful design and very affordable.

You never really said one just one coin. So why not buy a $50 bag of pennies (cents) from the bank. Look through them, keep what you want, spend or put the rest back in a bank. U said you always buy coins for a dollar or two. OK then just buy 25 coins for $2 each. Use the $50 as a down payment on a 1933 twenty dollar Gold piece. Last one sold for $7,590,020 so you would only owe that minus the $50. You could buy a bunch of books on coins and not worry about which coin to buy.
In reality around here most Mercury dimes go for $1 each. So buy 50 of them if your around here. I just bought 10 today and one was a 1926S in F12. Naturally the rest were just $1 type coins.
