I'm sure this has already been posted, but if you had the money, what would be the number one coin you'd want to get? For me it would be hands-down this. It's a toned, 1847 Great Britain Proof Crown. It seems to sell between $7,000-$10,000.   |

1933 Double Eagle, 1913 V nickel, or 1943 D copper cent |

This one. Hands down. If you want a coin with real, significant history, stay away from any over-hyped million-dollar US junk. https://goccf.com/t/235371&SearchTerms=1913Unique, and likely personally handled by Constantine I.  Edited by TypeCoin971793

The Royal Mint also struck three examples of the Gothic Proof Crown in GOLD. Impossibe to get one of those, even if it was on my 'bucket list', irrespective of how much money I was prepared to offer. My avatar was on my bucket list, not now.

This one but I got it this year. It was the last gift from my mom. I collect coins with Spiders or Webs on them. 2006 Tuvalu Red Back Spider $1 Silver oz coin. The first coin to the Deadly & Dangerous Series.  |

Redback spiders are quite common around my house. I have never seen any inside, fortunately. They only have small fangs, and I occasionally squash them with my thumb, despite the the fact that I have known from a very early age that they can kill. I normally kill them with a flat object. The Black Widow Spider is a very similar species; I squashed them in exactly the same way, to show a sense of bravado (or perhaps stupidity?), when I visited San Diego a few years ago. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  If you want a few minutes of light entertainment, there is a redback spider song: Youtube video: 'Redback Spider on the Toilet Seat' with lyrics Edited by sel_69l

If I had crazy money I would have to finish my remaining sets first.  But I suppose all is fair once that is done, assuming I still have some crazy money.  That being said, I would have to make one the current 1913 Liberty Head Nickel owners an offer they cannot refuse. Again, crazy money. |

If I had that, I might start the rest of the series.

1948 Canadian Dollar, not crazy expensive but 4 figures minimum.
Not something I have lying around.
Only 18,780 minted.

If I had unlimited money and this coin became available in a marketplace auction, Canada 1911 silver dollar. Only 2 are known to exist today.
