$500 won't get you a $20 Lib or Saint like it did 24 months ago, so I guess I would have to settle for a $10 Indian.

A lavish dinner out and plenty of long stemmed red roses for the missus. She's been very understanding of my "acquisition mania" lately.  |

$500? Can't I have more?  Ok, I think I would buy a nicely struck 1943-S Walker in Gem, but I'm not sure such a thing exists.  I need one and I've seen 3 or 4, the most expensive of which was $450. But I want to wait for a better one than I've seen so far. For those who don't know, the Liberty Walking half was minted from 1916-47 and the 41-47 short set is a very popular set because you can assemble a mint state set relatively inexpensively. However, the '41-S, '42-S, '43-S are expensive in 65 and over, and these issues had the absolute worst striking problems in a series plagued with striking problems. I have the 41-S and 42-S in 64, but I'm determined to get the 43-S in 65 with the best strike I can find. Otherwise, I know of a reeded edge bust half in AU that the dealer wants a little less than $400. I've seen the coin and it's very nice. So that would leave me with another $100. I'd probably buy the half and a nice circulated buff nickel for my album. |

If it has to be a coin it would be a 42D/41 Mercury dime is AU grade at one of the coin shows I go to. Most need a super magnifyer to see the 1 so I'd blow the money on an AU version. If not a coin, have one of my cars detailed. |

I'd pick up an 1881 Newfoundland $2.00, but if I'm limited to a US coin (since this is in the US forum) I'd probably pick up 1917-S type 1 SLQ.

I'd buy a high grade cull of the 1793 Half Cent (AG3 = $1200) since that's the only way I'm going to be able to fill the space in my Type Set. |

I'd buy the new gold Spouse coin and sell it on ebay for a quick 85-90% profit |

I would probably buy a $10 Indian gold piece, or possibly a nice Seated dollar. Now if you gave me $700 to play with I'd get a St. Gaudens $20 gold or a 1916-D merc. |

I'd buy a 1996 Prestige Proof set since only 55,000 were minted and if I had any money left I'd try and finish my Prestige set.
