What coin would you buy if.....

Well I see we have a thread on if you had 10 Million what set would you buy but I don't think there is much of a chance any of us are going to get 10 million....so here is another question...


What coin would you like to buy if it came up for sale today...
The only thing is that you have to be able to pay for this coin at one time...and it must be a coin that you could buy...if you only buy coins that are $10 and under...then let your pick be something for $10 and under...if you are able to buy a 10 million dollar coin...well then...what would it be??

My pick would be a 1955 PF66 NGC Franklin....
A late date (1900-1909) Proof IHC
and I better quit there....
I would like to put 1794 Half dollare because I got to see and hold one but I wouldn't be able to buy that at one time

I would buy an MS-60 Pre-1900 (Preferably 1890) Morgan Dollar and an F-12 1853 Half Cent (Braided Hair) and 1845 VF-20 Lg. Cent.

And then im broke again!

 

If money was not a factor I would have a 1936 proof set, probably all proof sets I could get from the 1930's and 40's.

If only one coin $10.00 and under it would have to be a 1964 Kennedy proof or a MS65 Kennedy.

 

It doesn't have to be $10-or under I just want it to be near what you buy coins normally...I mean if the most I spend on coins is $50 then I would put coins that are around $50...the problem with me is that sometimes I buy a coin for $1 and sometimes over $10 and so on...so more than anything I wanted real ideas on what people would want and could pay it off at one time...

If I could spare the money right now, I'd get an AU-MS quality 1856 Flying Eagle Cent. Barring that, I'd love to get a 1909-S VDB in at least Fine quality.

1995 W Silver American Eagle

The problem with this thread is the amount you would normally spend. Since I am willing to spend a couple hundred on a coin I will eventually get all the PCGS graded american eagles in the collection I just started. I could afford a 1995 W Silver American Eagle, but am too cheap to pay the price. This is my dream coin. This seemed a better pick for this thread than the 1994 or 1995 that I currently need, but will eventually get in the 3/4 months. I have wanted one of these coins for years.

Do what I did...and get a lower namebrand slab...PCI or ANACS...they sell for less and if you ever need to sell cross it over to NGC or PCGS...

An NY890B-10a cwt, any of the OH165FN's (15 varieties), an OH910A-1b, or any of the OH990s except for the -1a.

 

Any ARRC 1935 Bingles. I can't find them anywhere.

 

1895 0 dime in any grade I could afford (problem free)

 

early proof sets

 

3-legged Buffalo XF-AU

 

Hey Steve
I have seen a hand full of 3 legged and 3 1/2 legged and they are real neat...they are also real $$...the ones I have seen were in good shape...they were circulated but good shape...they ran about $700+/- on most!

Speedy

 

That one is also at the top of my list right now. I need that and three others to complete my Barber dime set.

 

I'd get a full Morgan set and a 1913 V-nickle proof (If anyone would sell one)

 

I'm not asking for much.. how about a 1982-P full step bu Jefferson nickel, I let one slip recently on ebay and it went for $320.00 <sigh>

 

Have you checked with Kaye Dethridge, ebay seller id alaskatokens?

 

I'd probably love to have a flowing hair dollar, but would probably settle for a draped bust dollar from 1799 or earlier; or maybe any US coin minted before 1800. It would be facinating to own a US silver dollar minted before 1800. I don't own anything that old and close to the origin of the Republic.

 

I have been checking her listings, but haven't seen anything.

 

Cyclonus11, mighy not hurt to contact her direct to inquire. I would think she would have them if anyone would.
