Message:: [QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1406809, member: 24754"]If I won $500M my coin collection would actually downsize. In fact, my collection would probably end up consisting of only a few, or even just one coin. The first thing I would do is visit the Smithsonian and say, "Yo! Whatcha want fo one a dem 33 Double Eagles?!" But seriously, if I had the means of obtaining it, I would be more interested in having that one "ultimate" kind of coin. I'd be looking for an 1833 Double Eagle, 1804 dollar, 1913 Nickel, or something along those lines. When people came to visit I wouldn't ask them, "hey, do you want to see my coin collection?", I would ask them, "Hey, do you want to see the most valuable coin in the world?". I would then do the same with paper money, find myself an 1890 Grand Watermelon. I'd hunt for a 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card, Action Comics #1 comic book, that upside-down airplane stamp, the world's largest fossilized megalodon tooth, Wyatt Earp's Guns, Shakespeare's autograph, etc, etc. I suppose I would work towards a type collection of the ultimate examples of each collectable. I'd have a room-size vault built into my home where I could have it all displayed. Oh ya, then I would buy a Jackson Pollock. I would cut it up into little pieces and then use the pieces to wipe my butt, just to let the world know what I thought about BS modern art. ..............Man, I need to go buy some lottery tickets!!!!![/QUOTE]
