I'm with jhinton, forget buying coins, permanent vacation and perhaps I'd have no problems paying 20 million to go out into space.

 

A complete set of Philadelphia $20 Liberties from 1850 to 1880, from AU to MS. But that might require we hit the Megabucks lottery!

 

This thread reminds me of Office Space:

Peter Gibbons: Lawrence, what would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man; two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

 

Bagram. I was there in 2001 and again in 2004. By the time I left in 04 it appeared to be an operating city. Are you a contractor?

 

Stella
1884 or 1885 Trade Dollar
1933 (legal) Indian 10$ Gold

 

there's only 3 coins in the set???

 

In that case, a 1794 dollar in PCGS Au58; a 1795 gold eagle in MS63, and a Continental dollar, pewter, in MS63.

 

One of the 3 known HK-1031's:

The 1906 (p) US Philippines Peso (although I'd 'settle' for the MS-62 1906-S:

And an Aramco "$20" Gold Disc:

But my 4th runner up would be the Pan-Pac $50 octagonal too...

 

Just three coins, I would go with,

1. Eide Mar denari
2. Port of Ostia sestertius, (or a coluseum coin)
3. A signed Syracusan tet or octadrachm.

Yeah, I didn't think many would know.

However, I would use just a fraction of this money and buy a ton of cheaper ancients instead. I am not into buying high priced "investment" grade coins, preferring collector coins for my own enjoyment. I prefer coins that were actually used day to day by ancient people, not pristine, high value bits of precious metal.

 

NE shilling, Willow tree shilling, Higley copper, might as well think big!

 

If I had the choice I would buy these 3 coins

1796 gold quarter eagle
1909 s vdb wheat penny
1829 small date gold half eagle

 

ANYTHING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE AT ANY PRICE! But first I would buy a mansion and a HUGE safe. XD

 

lol, I am based out of bagram but my job requires me to travel all of the country, so... a lot of time spent sleeping in pax terminals
