    That I don't have?
    easy the 1901 S Barber Quarter!!!!!!!!!!!
    I missed one, actually blew it a couple of years ago, and now I may never own one.
    But, it was my own stupidity.

    Mine is the `901-S too. However, because my set is XF, I doubt I'll own one.

    Barber:
    Why not do what I have done, I started with lower grades and gradually, as they became available, upgraded.
    At least that way you will not get frustrated.
    Heck, I have a 1914 P half in XF, got it in August 1999 and have never seen another one.
    Also, in December I finally got an 1897 O half in XF to replace a VG.
    Both original coins have appreciated in value, and I didn't lose anything by getting them.
    My 1897 O in Good I got in December, 2000, I paid $43 for it, and now it trends for $175.
    The 1914 P in good cost me $33 and now trends for $140.
    I won both ways, I had a nice hole filler until I got a better piece, and made a profit on the other.
    Think about it.
    I have done the same with both the quarters and dimes.

    If this thread were in CoinChat I'd mention the deep scale variety, 1867 silver Japanese 5 sen listed as Y#1 in Krause.

    But, since this is the US Coin forum, I guess I'll have to say that I'd dearly love to find a sixth 1913 Liberty nickle. :D

    Treashunt,

    Thanks for the encouragement.

    There's a 1905-s 25c on Ebay I plan to bid on. That's a tough date.

    Go for it, I got a VF in 1996, and haven't found a better one since.
    Plenty of lower grades, but none better.

    Id have to say a 1927-s SLQ in XF-AU since they are extremely scarce in those grades.

    Woulda, coulda, shoulda. 1945-P Dime PCGS MS-65 FSB. Had a chance at one back in '88 for $1500, but as a busted flat college student I was only $1499 short of being able to pick it up. I don't know what it would take now, but I bet it's North of 7 grand? Or more? Tough coin in FB.

    Mine would have to be the legendary 1916-D Mercury dime in BU. I get weak just thinking about it.--gunsmoke
