The coin you'd buy if you had $250, $500, and $1,000

[exbingoaddict]

Ok, here's a little question to throw out ot the crowd. Your Uncle George just left you some amount of cash. (For all those times he never paid you to rake the leaves.) He demands you buy a coin with it. There's just too many coins for $100, so let's start a little higher.

What do you buy if he gives you $250?

What if ponied up $500, what then?

And finally what if he gave you a $1,000?


I asked this same question at cointalk.com last month. If anybody wants to see their answers.

$250- pcgs MS62-63 1921 high relief peace dollar
$500- pcgs MS64 1886-S morgan Dollar (bright white of course)
$1000- pcgs MS63 1894-S morgan Dollar (sharp enough to shave with)

Thanks uncle George for the loot.

I don't have an uncle George

if I did
$250 - 1864-L Indian head cent or a Colonial copper
$500 - a low grade 1909-S Indian head cent or a nice 1928 Peace dollar.
$1,000 - a nice Seated dollar (with Motto) for my type set or 1877 Indian head cent.
