A decent Morgan Dollar or
A very nice 2-cent copper or
A cheap bust large cent or
A decent semi-key wheat cent!
There's a TON of coins you can get!

Ditto on the 1922 gold piece. Just added value upon added value!

That's as rare as hens teeth. I'm sure yall meant 1822.

I'd probably get another Zombucks 1oz. silver proof from Provident Metals.

Some fake ones floating around, be careful.

True - but just buy directly from Provident w/COA and you are safe.

I'd buy a few mid grade Walker 1/2's, sock 1 or 2 away, carve whats left into collectable art, turn the original 50 into 150, get 5 or 6 mid grade morgans or peace dollars, sock a few away, lather rinse repeat

I was watching a small coin collection on Craigslist for a week.
Listed were 3 peace dollars, 3 Morgan dollars, 15 buffalo nickels, 6 V nickels, 10 pre '64 jeffersons'. 15 indian heads, 10 pre '64 roosies, 50 Wheaties, mainly from the '40's, a 1928 federal reserve $20 note,
The price for the total collection was first listed at 400 bucks, But also had the coins priced indivually, a few days later it had dropped to 300.
I saw it listed again on the 26th now it was at 250 dollars for the whole collection. I made contact with the seller.... collection was sold,
but he still had one Morgan dollar left, for $70,
I told him, " I'll be right right over."
Why that one didn't get sold, I don't know? I think it's in very good shape!
It's a 1878 CC maybe in vf -- extra fine condition it has a light mark on the eagle side & a few small pits on her face, I think it was a pretty good score.

Ok, so obviously I worded the question wrong lol :-) Nice answers on the gold :-) How about a coin valued relatively close to $50 which you think might escalate in value in the coming years? I like the idea of the silver bar and the mid grade Walkers!

Actually , that's why I'd spend my hard earned 50 bucks on a 1922 , it's got to be well worth the 50 bucks , right ?

I'm sorry , I must apologize to you for not giving a realistic answer to your question . As I am not a coin collector , experienced one anyway . I don't really have any legitimate advice for you on this . But I can guarantee you, if you get a 1922 gold coin for 50 bucks , you may as well consider yourself as lucky as winning the lottery .
