[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3009793, member: 5233"]The problem with questions like this is we all have different opinions and likes. Nobody can tell you what to get but yourself. Let me ask you this, are you sold on spending the entire $1500 on one coin? If so, this is what I would do. We all have a list of coins we want...or types of coins we want. Go down that list and find one that you'd very much like that retails in the $1200 range. Then...start looking for an example of that coin that really speaks to you. One that has the luster or toning that you love. Find the [B]right example for you[/B] and buy it...knowing that such a premium coin will probably sell for a price over is normal retail value. I'll give you an example of a coin that I added to my collection not to long ago (that's not in this price point). I really love collecting German pattern coins. It's my favorite niche to collect. I had been wanting a 1908-D 25 pfennig Schaaf 18/G5 copper pattern for some time. If I had been thrifty I probably could have found one of these for $250-$300 or so.
