Jamaica, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and then to Colorado or Montana for a Record Book Elk Hunt, then plan my destinations for the next few years! LOL!!!!!!!

I love coins folks but if I hit the Lottery, they might have to wait awhile! Anyways, you can pick up some nice coins at decent prices in those Countries if you know what you are doing!

LOL ajm!

Mike has a good heart. He has chastised me for not seeing the forest for the trees. He is not seeing the forest here. The forest here is: essentially unlimited funds, and what would you do with them. As I am a Morgan AND Capped Bust Half Dollar fan, That is where my "windfall lottery money" would go.

 

How about assembling a 1796 uncirculated set, complete from half cent to Eagle?

 

Well, I don't think that would be enough money to acquire the short-lived set that I would choose. But, a complete Civil War token set would be certainly be nice, especially since no one has even ever assembled a complete (and much easier) set of just 1 token from each of the 400 issueing towns (not even the Fulds, who owned about 1 million, or 1/2 of all known cwts). But I'm not sure if there would be enough money. Let's see, if they were all inexpensive commons, 12,000+ varieties x $20/ea for a nice example = $240,000. Problem is, 80% of varieties are rather scarce at pops of 20 or less, many unique, and cost just a tad more than commons. With so many very low pops, money is not necessarily the problem that availability is. The money could be burning a hole in my pocket and so many varieties are simply not available.

 

I would try to buy 1 of each 2005 Bison Nickel Errors - but I doubt if there would be enough money.

LOL!! If I won the lottery i would buy GD's collection LOL!!

 

A complete Kennedy half dollar set from 1964 to date in g-vg condition. Impossible at any price as these coins have never circulated to the degree to obtain this grade!

But how I would like to see a well circulated set of the business strikes. That would be unique!!

 

If the pot was big enough I'd like to have a complete set of Flowing Hair and Bust Dollars.

 

I would complete my set of Roman emperors and their wives and children (denari).I have about 85-90 but there are probably a couple hundred in total.Some of them were snuffed,usually by family members,after a month or two but still managed to issue coins.
The names Galba,Otho and Vitellius come to mind,all emperors in the year 69.
Then all the Anglo Saxon kings but I'll have to wait until Sylvester puts them on the market.
Am I awake yet?

 

I would get the complete set of the canadian coins which is from 1858-Present in all denominations.

 

Well I don't have a set, but this is my current pocket piece. I found it while roll searching and was stunned by the level of wear. I'd seen plenty of Kennedy's with serios damage, but this is the lowest grade piece I've ever seen without any damage aside from wear.

reverse:

 

Am I allowed to dream of getting a whole set of Imperial Russian commemorative coins and the ultra rare Konstantane ruble?

 

Darn, what am I supposed to do with my quarter filled set Looks like I better sell them off...

 

((If I won the lotto and put nominally unlimited money into "coins" then I would want U.S. Type keys: the 1909-S VDB and 1877 cents, 1917-D Mercury Dime, and so on. mmarotta))


Mike,don't you mean 1916D?

 

A bunch of rare gold dollars minted in California...

 

lottery

if i win. i will not bother anymore coins. i will busy travel around the world.

 

YES, CAVE_TROLL! A set of Kennedy half dollars (business strikes meant for circulation) in the condition just as your posted 1971 is exactly what would be sooooooo interesting to see and own, but most likely impossible because of the very light circulation most Kennedy half dollars ever received.

Sets of Buffalos, Walkers, Mercs, and etc, in grades below fine, certainly are possible because they DID circulate heavily.

A set of Kennedys in this condition certainly would be interesting.
