[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1295328, member: 27043"]Good grief, gang. not everything in this hobby has to be intently researched! Sometimes it's just fun to drop a little cash on something you like, ya know?? Sheesh. bsowa1088 : At $60-$90, you can find some lower end half cents or large cents that are a lot of fun, just for the age and the "heft" of old copper. People love to freak out seeing your 150 yr old coin. :) There's also the shot of getting into a nicely toned common date Morgan for that money, in the $75-ish range, maybe. Not a bad way to go if you don't have any toners, and hey...it's NEVER a bad thing to have some silver dollars on hand. :) Personally, if I ad $60 or so burning a hole in my pocket, I might just find a couple of really nice common date halves...maybe a Walking Liberty and a Franklin, or something along those lines. Again, it never sucks to have silver around, and I just happen to like those two designs when they feature booming luster and good strikes, regardless of the rarity of the date/MM. Finally, if you're just not finding anything that jumps out at you, maybe it's a good time to stock up on those supplies you always seem to forget until you HAVE to have them, and the LCS is closed. *lol* Just some thoughts. YMMV, of course. :)[/QUOTE]
