I would get highest grade possible different date Mexican coins from the Mexican Revolution period. 1910-1920.
I think someone said this before, but if I had $1000 just to blow on anything ? I'd spend it buying food for the homeless, "No Child Goes Hungry" .
Forum member illini420 has these for sale: Toned Peace Dollar (Dual Sided Monster): http://kittlecoins.com/284629009.htm 1941-S NGC MS67+ CAC FB PL - even a plain Jane MS68 would cost more than this piece, and it looks like a Philadelphia proof. It is unusual, scarce, and super high grade. http://kittlecoins.com/4266973001.htm There is also another CAC PL Mercury Dime on eBay too that is a bit cheaper, albeit slightly lower graded.
