I can find the coins I am looking for, but they are not in the grade I want or they are overpriced for my tastes. I think the one coin I might go out a limb for is a 1995W Silver Eagle - but I would prefer it raw and then I would get it graded. This is not a coin I would buy over the internet. Still one day I might own one.

 

I can also find what I'm looking for, just can't find the funds to get them, lol. Dream coin, will probably have to be the 1909 VDB Proof cent. Favorite series, and I love proof coins. Perfect fit.

I think that is a curse of every collector!!!

But remember the infamous quote (that is similar to) "numismatics is the only hobby in the world where you can spend all your money - and STILL have money left over"

 

Ive been trying to find a decent 1865 Indian Head Cent...
One that isnt worn down, but not over priced. lol

 

well i cant get my high grade barber half some one decided to play the fool and spoil my part at FUN and also the asterix coins i just love Asterix

 

I've been looking for any decent Seated Liberty Half Dime 1837-1873 thats not worn flat, bent or beat up somehow. I have some of them but the most elusive are those between 1840-1850. Its a difficult series to collect in decent grades (vg-vf).

 

Not surprisingly I have more than one "most wanted" coin.
But in order of preference:

1. 1950 Proof Dime slabbed (Yes, I know. It's a relatively inexpensive coin BUT it's the only one missing from my slabbed set of silver Roosevelts. I've been looking for 2-3 years, but the ones I find are all overpriced. Can't find them at a show; too inexpensive for the dealers to bring. Got a shot at one coming up this weekend.)

2. 1907 or 1908 Indian Head Eagle ($10), No Motto on the Reverse (Last coin I need for my short typeset.)

3. 1945-S Full Steps Jefferson Nickel (Key to the "full steps" War nickels. Want it slabbed. Last one I need for my FS War nickels set.)

4. 1941-S Jefferson Nickel in MS-65 (Last coin I need for my matched birth year set.)

You will note that ALL of the above are in the "last needed" category.

5. 1864 Small Motto 2 Cent Coin (I've got one slabbed but it looks a bit "unhealthy" at the right on the reverse.)

6. 1877 Indian Head Cent (I don't collect IHCs, but I do try to get affordable keys and semi-keys.)

7. 1909-S Indian Head Cent (See 6.)

That's my hit list.

 

keep watching my threads i may have a lil surprise lined up

 

I'll certainly keep a close eye on them.

 

I need 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1911-S, 1914-D, 1924-D, 1924-S and 1926-S - all uncirculated. Some year, yeh right!
I could also use a 1931-D and 1931-S red uncirculated.

If there is any doubt, I am talking about Lincolns only.

 

A couple of coins that I would like to get are:

A Proof-66 Cameo Shield Nickel

A Proof-63 Trade Dollar.

A nice "Bo" or "Bert" hobo nickel.

 

i need to get one of those too with rays

 

Easy for me, besides getting a bunch of Bust 1/2 dollars for my set, the number one choice would be
(start the drum roll, please):

The 1901 S Barber quarter.

 

Seeing as this is the US coin section, I suppose I should answer with a US coin. And heck, why not dream big?

The schoolgirl pattern, in silver, J-1608.

 

The DREAM coin (exists only in dreams) 1909 VDB matte proof, PCGS PR70RD. The ones that are attainable, **ALL** of the cameo proof buffalo nickels ( 1 down, 15 to go)

 

Still looking for 1921 and 1921-D Walking Liberty half dollars. Also 1919-D and 1928-S dimes in XF to AU.
Lastly a 1948 Franklin half with FBL.

 

If I were to be dirty, I'd find myself a 2003 silver Britannia (reverse only! not the Queen! lol)
