For $100, I'd go for a nice bust half. You can probably get a Fine early date (pre 1815) or a nice VF/XF of the later dates.

If I had a hundred just to spend on coins, I think I'd buy the 1908-S VG Indian Head cent that's been torturing me at my dealer's and use the other $35 for the nicest type coin I could buy. Definitely would try to use the $100 for keys or semi-keys no matter what. |

I'd buy and nice Walker half, an SLQ, and a Buffalo nickel, circa 1920 something. |

I'd buy a roll of Walker halves (maybe have a bit of money left over), or 7-8 silver eagles...... |

I would either buy a 1931 S Wheat cent in MS condition. I got a really nice one for only $125. Or get a 1909 s Wheat cent in the best condition possible. |

oh yes, a 1921 D Mercury dime in F, or so, would be a good investment, also. |

You'd have to be very lucky or very good to find a 1921-D Mercury in solid F for $100. If you do, jump on it.
The Sept Coin Prices has it listed for $205.
If you can find someone who hasn't gotten the memo...

Hmmmmmm. This week I'd save it to spend at the upcoming coin show on Saturday. Any other day, I'd probably put it toward the 1992 mint set from Australia. I should be able to get one for about half that, if I played it right.

grab a 1909 S Lincoln, you should be able to get one for $100.
They have increased like crazy the last two years.
current trends= $85 in good-4
$100 in VG-8.
They will increase as the centennial (2009) approaches).
And then they'll go up more.
Especially if they change the design.

I'd go to the bank and get $100.00 in half dollars. I figure by the time I'm done going through them, I'd find a couple silver halves.
