For a $Billion USD, ok maybe $500 m clear. I'd have a Morgan dollar collection that would choke an elephant. Also Peace dollars. All the key dates, in fact, all the dates and mints period. And thats just the beginning "mind you I'm quite content with what America has given me already" but a man can dream.

I'd like a Draped Bust quarter too. A really good one at auction. And a lot of Barbers coins and a Seated half dime.

How about you ? Whats the first set and coins you'd buy ?

I would not aim too high. I could do a lot of good with that kind of money.

So my first thought is that I would add the gold page to my 7070. It is something I doubt I will ever be able to do, unless we entered some sort of post-scarcity era... or I won the lottery.

You have better odds of finding a whole valuable coin collection in circulation.

Especially when a window widow dumps it at the bank.

You could sell off your silver stack to fund it.

you would need that much to buy that 7070 gold page - The problem would be - would you have enough left over to buy the gold coins to place in that page..

I would drive around to East Coast coin dealers to put together a high grade Seated Liberty dollar and Half Dollar collection.
And of course I'd be driving around in this:

First, I'd give bobby131313 $100 million to upgrade the CCF site and have it hosted by the best service provider available...
