OK, so My ebay bucks certificate has been redeemed today. It is around $50.

Lets hear some ideas on the best bang for my 50 bucks on a coin!

$50-$70 is fine.

Add $20 to your $50 and get 2 1oz. silver rounds.

 

Good suggestions, however I do not buy bullion. I prefer coins.

 

That is easy, an MS67 war nickel with light toning.

 

How about a really nice VF/XF silver coin from Gordian III, emperor of Rome in the 3rd century? His silver coins are about the most common for Romans, so you can pick up really nice examples for $50 or less.

 

One of these?

 

This should be interesting, I also got my ebay bucks cert today for about $50.00. I also was wondering what to buy to get the most bang for my bucks

 

I have no idea what you already have or what your interest are ... but these might be worth considering ...

These are currently in your price range (but may go out of range later in the auction)

(amazing owning a piece of paper that was printed before the U.S. was a country ... first currency of the U.S. Colonies)

 

A pair of XF V nickels.

 

There's always paper money to consider...

 

I second the Lincoln silver dollar. They're nice!

 

38-D MS65 Buffalo Nickel PCGS graded

 

1922S or 1923S Peace dollar NGC MS-63. TC

 

Here's one for you. A nice toned MS Morgan on EBay. BIN is 59.00 with an obo option. Offer him $45. That's the Redbook price for an MS60 coin. An MS63 Morgan is $55 Redbook. I'm guessing that coin is an MS63. Wholesale is probably $45ish. With the haggling maybe you get the coin for $50.

My suggestion is a 1940's Walking Liberty Half in MS63 or MS64. Toned or not as you please. Good luck on your Quest and be sure to pet Bandit for me.

 

Do not buy this:

I would consider getting a Silver proof set from any year prior to 65 and seperating the coins.

 

So Greg, what did you end up buying with your E-Bay Bucks?

 

Well, I did something really strange. Since we found out (on christmas) the wife is pregnant, I asked her what SHE wanted from ebay with the $50.

 

buy youself the 2011 proof set from the royal mint, you certainly wont be disappointed.
