1895 Morgan proof. That ain't happening.

 

The list is long and distinguished.

As a Morgan collector, a PF Morgan is definitely on my list. I'd like a MS64 or higher Seated Dollar, a 1797 Large Eagle $10 in AU, a CC Trade Dollar and a whole list of others.

 

Although the 1895 proof Morgan is certainly not on my radar, one of my long-term collecting goals is a Morgan proof.

 

A Meiji-era Japanese 20 Yen gold piece... a beautiful thing... with a beautiful price...



Prices for the most affordable date in the best condition run from ¥ 6,500,000 to ¥ 7,500,000 - or $56,420 - $65,100. Yoiks!! The most expensive can run ¥ 25,000,000 or $217,000. Sorry... my mandible just fell off... I'll just go grab it...

 

any $20 St. Gaudens
1916-D Mercury Dime
1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent
Seated Liberty Dollar from the Civil War years 1861-1865
1948 Canada Silver Dollar

 

Since I just moved to Massachusetts I would like to buy a nice problem free Massachusetts cent. The early silver sixpences and shillings would also be nice but are way out of my league...

 

Are you just wanting a silver trime or do you want one in a certain grade? Circulated trimes are cheap. Slabbed MS trimes are not. They're tiny little buggers. They don't even feel like real coins when you hold them because they are so thin. If you are in the market for a slabbed trime, I would also buy a cheap circulated trime just so you can appreciate how tiny it really is.

 

I'm not tellin, someone's lookin to jack up the prices of the coins I need.

Well... I'm searching hard for cull circulated 1922 peace dollars. Prices are going up up up!!!

 

With the last couple of Peaces I bought to finish a date set, I saw a bunch on all auction sittes that were running higher than price guides suggested. In some cases a lot higher. A CT friend of mine complained about the same thing.

 

1863-1868, 1872 3cs (trime) business strike in XF

 

1909 VDB Matte proof. I'd prefer a brown one with the grainy surfaces and a hint of color like my avatar, but any would do lol

 

Realistic or fantasy? Realistic, here's the short version... 1798 Large Cent, Marc Anthony Legionary Denarius, 1909-S Indian Head Cent, 1909-S Lincoln Cent.

Fantasy... It starts with the 1793 Large Cent, Strawberry Leaf variety, and grows from there, no pun intended.

 

Most of the coins mentioned here seem to be fairly available coins that are simply more expensive than the person can afford (although, many mentioned would only require a bit of saving, and it would be within reach).

A more interesting question would be: which coins would you like to own, but which are simply unavailable (because of rarity)

 

Yea the thread question should mention that it has to be realistic. Not coins that are worth more than everything you own combined lol

 

Something that's realistic and wouldn't involve winning the big lotto? Maybe it would be nice to find a circulated Russian platinum coin or a Japanese koban. Yes they do cost a bit but it's doable sometime down the road.

 

I would like to finish my walker set and need early walkers to fill in the F-VF range. These are very difficult to find.

Also, I nice bust half in MS63, a 20 cent in AU, seated liberty dollar, and in my dreams, a 1916 SLQ

 

a nice looking small eagle bust $1; turban head gold with original skin.

 

American Congress Fugio. I will be waiting for a while.

 

NGC slabbed Carlo III di Borbone (Charles III) Sicilian 12 Tari Silver Crown in XF or better condition.
