If you are going to dream, dream big

1. 1933 $20 St. Gaudens
2. 1804 silver dollar
3. 1792 half disme
4. 1913 V nickel
5. 1894-S dime

Or I could buy a 747

 

LOL
That IS dreaming big. I almost put the half disme on the list. The others don't appeal to me, regardless of rarity or price. The coins that I listed are the ones that I find the most beautiful or historical. I don't even like gold coins, but the two listed are among the most beautiful coins ever made, IMHO.
Now if the lowly 1933 St. Gaudins is a high relief, then maybe I'll get a second job and start saving up.

1. 1933 $20 St. Gaudens
2. 1804 silver dollar
3. 1792 half disme
4. 1913 V nickel
5. 1964 peace dollar

 

I could trade nearly any single one of them for the Lincolns, Mercuries AND Buffaloes that I really want. After that, I would try again with the result of another coin.

 

These are direct from my current want list:

Mint states on all and in order of desirability to me:

1) 1917 type 1 SLQ
2) Shield nickel - any date
3) $10 Indian gold
4)Trade dollar - any date
5)Barber half or quarter - any date

Some of these may seem easy to attain, but I've been picky as of late. A few '17 SLQ's have went over the auction block in the last 6 months or so and it seems I can find something that I don't like about the coin.

 

chain cent
wreath cent
bust dollar
flowing hair dollar
dahlonega gold

 

I'd really love to have a PL 1912 s nickel, I have heard that they exist but have never seen one.

 

1) 1922 high relief 1$ proof.
2) 1907 wire rim eagle
3) 1907 high relief dbl eagle
4) 1794 dollar
5) 1849 $10 or $20 mormon gold with nice strike, or 1916 standing liberty if it has to be actual us coinage.

mint state if possible, but the most luster and best strike avalible.

easy eh?

 

I could go on and on but...

1.,= 1964 clad quarter.
2.,= A nice solid gem '83-P quarter.
3.,= The '72-D DDR AU quarter I spent back in 1972.
4.,= The more than a hundred nice choice '79 sm motto quarters I spent back in '79/'80.
5.,= A nice PL '74 quarter. (this might not exist though)

 

It's amazing, no one has mentioned 1856 flying eagle cent or a $4. stella.

 

how about 5 within my lifetime:

Jackie Robinson gold commem
1996 - W proof silver eagle
1972 Double Die Cent
2000 - W Gold Sacagawea
1964-D Peace Dollar

 

I'm not greedy I'll go for just one coin a 1964 Peace dollar.

Lou

 

Mike, you beat me to that peace dollar. Oh well.

Lou

 

I'll just go for one also---how about a 1944d steel cent?
Ziggy

 

1916 D Merc
1909 S IHC
1909 SVDB
1856 Flying Eagle Proof
1995 W Silver Eagle
