We don't have telepathic powers, so I can't help you with what you want to spend your $50 on; but for the post-unification German states, I would suggest spending it all on one coin from a smaller German state (e.g. 2 or 3 marks).
I recently saw one of
these for sale in Italy for 50 euro, so no doubt if you look hard enough you can find a similar coin at a similar price (although I've never used Amazon for coin shopping online before).
