I'd buy up whatever 1943 copper and 1909-S VDB lincoln cents were available, and toss them in my emptied pool. Then I'd use the rest of the money to buy a truckload of common date lincolns and dump them on top. Then I post directions to my house in the cointalk contests section and kick back on a recliner with some brewskis as the mayhem begins.. :whistle:

The rules are: no tossing coins out, you can only use your hands or those little plastic sandshovels, and, of course, NO DIVING.

 

hmm you might get all of CT there but me. I wont budge from my chair i meant throne :whistle:

 

I'd get one of those, in addition to a 68+ 1917 type I. The a Flying Eagle Proof. Truthfully, I purchase coins as art and I'd need to see what it was that enthralled me.

I like Invitus' idea. I wouldn't know whether to dig or pull up another chair and watch. :thumb:

 

I'll be waiting at my mail box!

 

LOL......Look for the padded brown envelope with dollar signs stamped all over it. This way you'll know it when you see it.:hail:

 

Hold the presses ..this just in...GOLD tanks !!!!!

$500,000 divided by $690 an ounce = 724 ounce of PURE GOLD ...HOT DANG !!!

 

What I would do is go to one of the largest dealers and buy 500K in something I would be certain I could cash for at least as much or as little loss as possible. As I'm buying 500K I should be able to get what ever it is at a steal and be able to sell off at a small profit.

Now that I am over losing any of it to a will stipulation I would take my time and buy top of class coins and notes as they come available in the market - selling off the original coins to pay for what I find that I really want.

 

Now if we could just get Frank,s address without him knowing. Hmmmmm.

 

1916 Walking liberty.

 

1 1936 DOT canadian small cent and a... oh... wait...
thats all 500,000.

 

[Hides in the bushes, "psst, hey, Mr. Mailman, over here."]

Go wild, assume $500,000US.

 

Lol, then i'd throw in a 55 NSF there... 100% done my small cents. only 3 people in the world can say that with 100% honesty

 

WAIT!!! my aunt Sophie passed away???!!!

 

I was kind of thinking I would send an empty envelope with $$$$$ all over the outside. That would be a kodak moment. :whistle:

 

LOL....I'd like to be a fly on Franks mailbox if you'd send him something like that.

 

Nah, just follow the ambulance to the hospital.


[and these comments are EXACTLY why I don't give out my address!]

 

I'm not sure if he'd get much of a thrill out of this:

Here's what I'd buy (you might have a good idea of what's to follow ):

A complete set of Lincoln Cents grading MS-65 R, 1909-1958 (duh , but that 26-S eats up most of the inheritance!!! )
Then I'd do a complete set of AU Lincoln Cents
Then a complete set of XF Lincoln Cents
Then a complete set of VF Lincoln Cents
Then a complete set of F Lincoln Cents
Then a VG set
Then a G set
Then an AG set.

(I've been thinking about trying to do something like this, except of course, the MS-65 R set, haha, but would be neat to do something like this IMHO. )

I'm pretty sure I've eaten up all of my inheritance, if I didn't go over. If I have some left, I'll buy some Roman coins, and then allow the Squirrels to go live with Frank.
