What coin is on your Radar ?

Ive been looking at one of these for some time though I have concentrated on 1 oz
GOLD bars for about the last year but am seriously considering one of these for my next purchase do you have a coin in your radar ?

I'm on the watch for a 1785 Nova Constellatio 4-C, when the right one appears I'll be all over it!

 

I have had the exact same coin on my radar for a while @mpcusa but as I watch the spot charts rise daily, I suspect that one will remain a dream for me.

 

I am looking for a Nero As with him playing the lyre on the reverse. I like coins that tell stories and it relates to the folktale of him playing his instrument while Rome burned.

I am also trying to find more books about interesting coin stories.

 

I have my list of top coins to pursue. Some are seated Dime varieties from the 1837-1840 period. A couple are pre 1853 Seated Quarters. 5 of them are Seated Halves. I can't give specific dates. Their intense popularity will only become more frenzied. James

 

I am always on the lookout for coins for my numismatic apiary, i.e. coins that depict bees and/or beehives. My oldest bee is from Ionia/Ephesus. Conder tokens offer a wide variety of beehives as do Civil War tokens and 18th and 19th century Agricultural medals and Jetons.

 

Anything I don’t have.

 

Right now? Barber Quarters

• 1896-S
• 1901-S
• 1913-S

 

A 1901-S 10c with Obverse 1. So far it's a unicorn. They aren't supposed to exist, but this one was posted on FB a while back.

and I found another (seemingly) in the GC archives.

 

Those are some deep pocket coins!

 

Yep, I'm saving for one at a time. I have a full Barber Dime and Half Dollar set. Just trying to finish it off. But, yes, they are expensive.

 

Coins that are listed in this book and I don't
have them in my collection.

 

The MS70 version is substantially less to go even further ungraded examples can be had for almost a song

 

Well, yeah, but the song's chorus is "spot plus..."

 

Cool! Which 1894-S dime did you get?

 

Next for me is a 1955 double die. Probably will never happen but one can dream.

 

Okay, let me clarify. I have a completed set as listed in the Dansco album. LOL!
