$5K - $7.5K coin purcash

I recently have come into some money and want to spend a significant amount
($5K to $7.5K) on a single coin or coins. I am currently collecting the
following sets:

Slabbed UNC Morgans (29 different)
http://coins.www.collectors-society....b= SetListing

raw AU/UNC Morgans (52 different)

raw UNC Standing Liberty Quarters

slabbed MS65 or better 34-47 Walkers (10 different)
http://coins.www.collectors-society....b= SetListing &
http://coins.www.collectors-society....b= SetListing

raw $2.4 Indian gold (8 different)

raw UNC Lincolns (Missing only 1909-S/1909-S VDB/1914-D/1914-S/1992
Plain/1923-S/2007-D/2007-S)

Any suggestion on want to buy? I am leaning towards a slabbed morgan.
Would I be better off to buy a lower graded 1893-S or a MS-65 semi-key?
What about the 1911-D $2.5 gold? For this particular purchase I am lokking
more for price growth than anything else.

An accurately graded high-end Grant commemorative?

I don't know know if you are kidding or not but I have no interest in
commemorativecoins.

My evil post.

I still remember you from the "use tax" question, and that's without
using Google.

If we knew which coins would have great price growth, ...

The two obvious directions are to either collect what you like, or go
strictly for bang-for-the-buck and buy something(s) you'll think will
appreciate in the mid-term. High grade Morgans, matte proof Lincolns,
high grade commems (and not the "modern" stuff), and high grade large
cents, which is going to be the next hot market (my personal
prediction, not inside info, sorry).

I'd stay away from gold. With oil moving up and down the way it's been
the last 3 years, there's no telling what that's going to do in the
future, and consequently no telling what gold is going to do, other
that move down and up in semi-reaction to the price of oil. (Even if a
Democrat is elected President of the US in '08).

But either way, have fun with it!

I would suggest treating yourself to the oldest USA coin that gives the most
bang for the money you want to spend, a really old silver dollar comes to
mind.

You may like it so much that you will sell off your modern collection,
Morgans etc. and specialise in older coins. Billy

If you're looking for coins with upside potential try the 1/10 and 1/4
oz 1999W AGE Uncirculated error coins. Rarity + bullion value.
If modern gold is not your thing, higrade early gold is a winner too.

I like your ideas of the Dollar coins, but go earlier, SL and Bust and you
get lots more bang for the buck, they are much more historical, much scarcer
and not as overhyped as the Morgans.
