[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1935859, member: 30970"]Hi guys, So I graduated HS last week (woohoo!) and received a bunch of money as a graduation present, and was told to spend it on something for my collection. I've not dealt with this much money before, so I am stuck on what I want to get. As an estimate, let's just say I have $900 to work with. Here are some of the things I have thought about purchasing... -Graded MS Coronet Head Large Cent (pre-1830) -Draped Bust Half Dollar or Dollar -US colonial (possibly vermontensium) -Mid to late 1800s proof coin -US pattern coin All of these really appeal to me, and it is tough trying to choose between them. Any advice or tips, or does anyone know where I can find better deals on some of these? I really love copper but have been missing my old silver since I sold it a few months ago. And proof coins are really pretty, and have low mintages which is kind of cool. Pattern coins are also really neat, and of course I love colonials.[/QUOTE]
