I chose "other". I had this dilemma recently and bought a few coins for my Afghan type set.

I said other because I am buying a house at the end of the month and will probably need to buy a lawnmower or something.

I had to choose "other" as well... A "spare" $125.00 (is there such a thing ?  ) would have to go towards more important things in my life right now than my "hobby". 1. There are some very worrisome things with the economy related directly to my CAREER ! 2. Plans with the girlfriend ....... (enough said right there ! ) 3. Credit card debt..... 4. Girlfriends Student Loan debt.... 5. Moving to a house together in a couple months (kinda depending on economy too though ! ....  ) 6. Buy a lawnmower !.... 7 -3,000. And only about three thousand other things too that are "leaps & bounds" above "coin collecting" right now in my life.... !So......I guess it's just that I couldn't POSSIBLY have a spare $125.00 !.....but still a "what if" question....

Having a spare $125.00 and getting a free $125.00 in coins is 2 entirely different things. When I get a spare $125.00 I blow it on stuff like fishing or gas. Going Bluefishing and for Stripers this coming Sunday in Point Pleasant NJ. If I could get $125.00 worth of free coins, I would probably try to get the best 1949 D over S and 1946 D over inverted D Jefferson nickels I could in circulated grades to complete my Top 10 Jefferson varieties. Give me $1250.00 and its a No S 1971 Proof nickel. Oh, if it were a $50.00 box of 2009 P or especially D nickels and 2009 cents, that is a no brainer. However, it was not specific so as to what the boxes would be so I voted other. Edited by TNG

Not a bad grab for that amount of money.
Personally I would do what you would have done, Yotie (assuming I was spending it on coins). Just pick up a lot of "cheaper" coins and then the rolls of cents. I have a hard time at this stage in collecting of purging $125 on one item. However I seem to have an easy time of spending $125+ when tempted with multiple items.
