    If I decide I want a coin I just stop buying everything and save my money. Eventually I can afford to buy that coin.

    There's not just one.:)

    How about a draped bust dollar in at least VF?

    I think I need another 1872 S seated dollar. They are quite affordable considering the 9000 mintage. I sold the one I had because it had problems that bugged me.

    There are lots of thalers and other world stuff that I could mention....

    Oh yeah, the 1815 half is a hole in my CBH lineup.....

    Another one I would want is this one. I would have to spend all of my money on this one coin.

    The “likely never afford “ is a 1838 O half the single one with CAM would be perfect

    In the really hope to afford one day a good quality William and Mary Crown

    Lol, we all do that. I would never want to know how many typos I have typed here on CT. I wasn't trying to be "smart" or call you out on it, just didn't want newbies confused.

    At least this ancient collector proved he still knows a couple of things about US coins. ;)

    Sheridan D. currently has one for sale... but it’s only an R2, that’s why I am not really interested ;-)

    I think right now the top of my want list is a au original skin 78-cc trade dollar. A chain cent with decent surfaces isn’t far behind

    There are many but I'll pick the 1864 2 Cent Piece with the small motto. Its one of the last 2 coins I need to complete my set.

    I saw a 1955 double die very affordable on ebay, but it was cleaned. Is that a deal breaker?

    Not so much because it is cleaned as it is more than I am interested in spending. Thanks for the heads up though. There was another one too that was only graded as being genuine.

    A 1945 Philadelphia mint Mercury dime graded by PCGS with a FB (full bands) designation. Any MS grade.

    One of those gold coins out of that barrel of gold coins that couple found on their property while walking their dog a few years back, known as the Saddle Ridge Hoard. Just one...any one of them, that's all I would need.

    BTW - It's a big mystery how those coins got there. I'm sure we'd get our answer if Sarah Winchester was still alive.
