If you won the lottery, which complete set would you want?

i would get a complete DCAM PCGS MS 70 4 coin set from 1986 to current, along with a complete DCAM PCGS MS 70 silver eagle set from 1986 to current, and a chest load of BU 1oz gold american eagles just so i can dig my hands through it and hear the gold coins clash against each other

Well If I am going to dream I might as well dream big and make the lotto one of those multi-hundred million power ball wins.

Ok I would want to have a collection of gold coins that span the history of Europe starting with the ancients. I would hire Mike Marrota to assist me with my travels as we go coin hunting as well as hire a few other experts with one from each national/time era. Now of course I would need a supervisor over all of these experts who would also act as my personal consultant, which means he gets to sit in first class with me but I get the window seat, and that would be Gary of course.Based upon his skills of grading and excellent taste, Gary would be given final seal of approval on any coin that was screened by the others that I was considering on buying. Now Gary, (GDJMSP), may not be fond of consultants based upon his "sense" of humor but if I pay him with enough "cents" I am sure that he would be glad to take on the assignment.

Now for the minor detail of winning a major record setting multi-state powerball lotto.
Does anyone have a dollar I could borrow?
ASAP

 

Do you have to buy a ticket to win?

If so, its a moot point for me.

 

Arithmetic for Stupid People

My wife and I play the Super Lotto megamilliions week after week. We get one Easy Pick and we talk about how the money will or will not change this or that. We know that most super lotto winners -- most lotto winners, actually -- are made WORSE for winning. Most people cannot handle even an extra $10 thousand, let alone $10 million or $100 million.

However, my wife and I are educated. Obviously, we are not so educated that we have realized that playing the lotto is for idiots. In fact, with her degrees in mathematics and computer science, my wife often runs the machines in the house all night long running her algorithmic hacks at number crunching. So, we devote a lot of time and effort in that $1 a week.

We have scholarships and charities to endow. We have global causes to underwrite. We have neighborhoods to rebuild. We have people to help anonymously and mysteriously. We have projects to launch. Winnig the Super Lotto is not just about Mike and Laurel. Oh, no...

That said, given that we are looking at tens of millions, if you want to see what I want to own, goto www.wildwinds.com and look under Greek alphabetical by city. I want all of them.

 

I agree Mike.Greek coins,especially the large silver pieces have almost no equal in the history of coins and that was 2000+ years ago.I'm still awed sometimes when I look at some of the designs.They are little masterpieces of art and craftmanship.

 

I would like to have a complete proof set of $20.00 gold pieces!!!!
That's all, except for a new Harley!.

Hey Coinsngolf....I hadn't seen you in a long time!!!
Glad your back!

That is a great design and I love those coins. When you see the coin designs coming out now, you relize just how advanced the flying eagles were in their thinking. I owned one once and gave it away on a debt to a friend

If I had any set just buy, however, it would be the bufalo nickles which I think are absolutely unique

Sorry to sound like a newb but wat is Eliasberg's collection???

 

I'd use about $20,000 of it to buy a nice run of very high grade British tin farthings (probably a type set, i.e 4 coins). Then i'd put the rest in the bank.

Oh i'd get an Emperor Nero aureus as well.

 

well.. there is that legal 1933 gold Double $20 piece i'd like to have as a pocket piece .. and then.. i'd probably just buy GD's collection.

 

All the nicer Syracuse Tetradrachms I could get my paws on. Then the Athenian Dekadrachm, mine all mine.

 

id love to own a complete set of liberty V nickels in the highest grades possible, including one from 1913

 

I would like a nice representation of each type of U.S. gold coin that's been made.

 

On my way home this evening I stopped to buy my Friday night Loto ticket and bought 4- $5.00 scratch tickets as well. On one of the tickets I won $10,000.00

I have placed my order for a 1991 1/2 Oz AGE MS 68 at $1000.00
Not sure what else I will try to get but for now that is the #1 coin on my list to add to my AGE collection. WOW!! What a lucky day...

 

Glad to see that you are putting the money back into circulation, the prize that is not the 1991 MS 68 AGE.

Congrats Rickie!!
