Hmm. Aussie gold soveriegn. However, it wouldn't be one of the nicer ones, which stem into the thousands. :( But I could still get one! And that's more than I have now. -_-

I would get the highest grade possible of a 1886 V-Nickel I could find. I didn't say 1885 because $500 just wouldn't do it unless I got real lucky.

Well if it has to be one coin, and $500 is all I can have, I think would see what if anything I could find in either Half Dimes (1846, 1865, or 1867) or nickel Three Cent (1884, or 1887). If I couldn't find anything there I'd look for a 1794 large cent variety that I don't have. |

My $500 would go to a decent 18th century copper, probably a 1798 large cent or maybe a Fugio  |

A really nice Seated dollar. Or the best Commonwealth hammered shilling I could find for the money. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

I would buy 1857 Half Cents, any grade until I get to $500. |

I would probably buy a bunch of silved ... but one coin, maybe a $10 Indian? Don't have one of those yet, but don't want to pay $500 for one either.

Right now I want an '07 Proof gold Buffalo, so I'm $325 short. I think I would probably pick up an old bust half.

Maybe a 1913S Barber dime (MS60) or a 1912S nickel (VF20). |

I'd probably try to find an 1877 IHC or 1909 S VDB. I know y'all are probably laughing it up over those choices but I'd like to complete a set of low grade small cents and those are the two biggies (I'm not even gonna worry about the 22 plain for this set). Pretty much anything problem free with a readable date would do for this set but I don't know if that would be possible even with $500. Barring any success with those I'd probably go for a decent 14D Lincoln or maybe a really nice Half Cent. |

Hmm.... for ~$500, I'd probably pick up a nice MS64/MS65 mintmarked 1930's Washington quarter, say a 34-d, 35-d, or 36-s. Or a semi-key XF SLQ (1919d, 1919s, 1921) However, I also agree with the previously posted thoughts on early Lincolns -my preference would be a high grade Brown/Red-Brown. |

Not that $500 dollars would do it but I'd like a VDB.
More realistically however, I think I'd go to the bank and buy a box of half dollars. The hunt in coin collecting is part of the fun for me. It's not so fun to go spend all of my practically non-existent funds on a few choice pieces...maybe one day after I make my millions...maybe then I'll get the buying bug...
