    Because its bizzarrely modern for a pre-constituional coin.

    MS state 1922 No D & 1955DD Lincolns to finish an Uncirculated Lincoln Cent Album from 09 to present. That's the only ones not in UNC or MS.

    Would this have to be a coin I already own??
    If so....that would be hard....either my S-VDB...1956 PF67CAM Quarter...or my 1954 PF66 Half.....or so on....
    If it is any coin....a proof set from 1888....don't know if there is even a proof set from that year but I would like one...

    It would be fun to make a proof set for that year...100 years before I was born....
    I hear that there are some proof sets from 1916 that the mint made...I don't see them listed either

    I figure that if I had this 1613 12Kg (386-1.3 troy oz.) Indian mohur of Jahangir, I could sell it and buy the rest of the world's coins.

    Scroll down about >> three-quarters of the way << on this page to read more about it. :)

    If I had to pick one... I'd love an 1875-CC 20 cent piece in uncirculated condition, lol. Would feel it a major accomplishment to have the shortest lived denomination in US coinage... and if monry were no object I'd want to have it in the closest to perfect condition as exists of course.

    My favorite

    I think the super high relief St Gaudens is the prettiest coin in the world. I would love to have one. JonySky

    In the Family.

    When my youngest daughter was 3, I took her into a Toys-R-Us for the first time. Her eyes grew large as she looked from one side of the store to the other. They she threw her arms open and said, "I want it!, I want it all!!!". She is definately her fathers daughter. JonySky

    I believe that I'd like to have the 1849 $20 Liberty or a really early 1700's U.S. $10 gold piece in great condition.
