[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 741351, member: 5233"]I know similar threads have been done before...but I thought I would try and do it with a little twist. Since, these are usually fun. So, here is the scenario. You are walking down the street and you bump into Bill Gates who somehow knows you are a numismatist (who knows how he knows...but he does). Since it is the Christmas season (according to what the stores are selling) he is in the spirit of giving and offers to buy you [b]one[/b] coin...any coin that you want. But, he has a couple rules you must follow if you want to receive it. Here are his rules: 1) [u]You must never sell or profit from owning the coin in any way[/u]. So, you can't pick the most expensive coin you can think of to sell it. If you pick it...you get it, forever. So, you better pick one you really want because its for you and future generations to enjoy. 2) It can be any coin, US or foreign...ancient or modern. 3) It must exist today and be known to exist (Mr. Gates does not own a time machine and even if he did he would be unwilling to take you back to 1895 to pick that perfect 1895 Morgan proof off the line). [b]4) You must post a picture of the coin in this thread. So, before you respond...go to HA or anywhere else and find a picture of the coin.[/b] Now, if it is super rare and you can't find a picture...I understand and please still post, but try and find a pic (so we can all drool). 5) You can't currently own the coin (what's the fun in that).
