I just found an old wallet I lost a while back with 200 USD in it. If you had 200 to spend on coins, what would you buy?

Assuming the wife didn't get to it first.

The wife would get to it first.

But... my first choice would be a 1925 Canadian nickel- I love the design of these nickels, and this is a very low mintage year.

I know they're valued over $200 but you can sometimes get them for less.  I've seen one go for as little as $130

Good man.

A nice Gothic Florin would set you back a couple of quid but worth every penny.

I can understand why you would buy it if your buget is low but personaly I would rarther buy a low value coin in better condition and wait till I had the cash to buy a nicer example.

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37430.html (an Austrian)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces29658.html (a Hungarian)

Introvert How dare you!

Well fair enough it is true.

I like Roman coins they are cool to hold knowing just how old they are and the history behind them sends a shiver down my spine. Of all the Roman coins My favorite are those with the mint mark Plon.  ;)
