What is your holy grail?

1974 Aluminum Cent. Plain and simple. Also, the purported 1959 Wheat Cent.

P

problem with that or a 1974 cent in aluminum or a 33 double eagle is I REALLY don't want the secret service knocking on my door no thanks I'll stick to something I can maybe someday own which is why I didn't say the 1873 cc no arrows dime or the 1822 $5 which are the 2 coins I'd most love to own

 

...........

 

A complete set of franklin halves in at least 66 fbl

 

AG cleaned, whizzed, holed, 2013 1 cent. Wouldn't that be something.

 

1876 CC 20 cent piece

 

You have high standards my friend...high standards.

1921 Canada 50 cent (fewer than 200 believed to exist); even in AG way out of my price range.

Here it is: the 1913 V-Nickel:



And here is me taking possession, after the auction:



[yeah, right! I got to hold it!]

 

1959 wheat?

The aluminum penny is high on my list as well.

 

This would do for me. Not necessarily the ultimate, but darn close. MS 69 PL by PCGS:

 

Never mind, I looked up the '59 wheat. Do you think it's real?

 

Meh, maybe. Maybe not. Hard to say. It'd be nice though lol to round off the wheats collection and start new at 60 instead of 59

 

For my cc Morgan dollar collection an 1889 cc in ms 63 or better

 

I just want to pull the trigger on a 1909-s vdb.

 

C'mon Frank , you could of outran him . I don't think you'd of made it out the door . But at least you could say it was your's for about 30 seconds . lol

 

I am not convinced it was yours for even a moment, unless you ran away with it - and even then only yours until you got tackled and it was takes away

 

The thought did cross my mind.........

 

Best coin I ever held was a small eagle $10 at an auction preview it brought $55000 about 5 years ago believe it or not I've never been to a coin show most people don't realize I collect coins or don't realize the level I collect at I'm well known as a dealer restorer and collector of antique furniture but I guess I'm more quiet as coin collector though anyone who knows me would never call me quiet or boring lol

 

Most times it's best to stay under the radar Bill.
