I caught the coin bug a long time ago and it continues to this day. I've had lots of coins that I really wanted and many are in my collection. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get all the ones that I really want for various reasons but mainly cost. Here is my "reasonable" bucket list: 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent 1885 V-Nickel 2009 P or D Nickel from Circulation 1913-S Type 2 Buffalo Nickel 1916-D Mercury Dime 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter 1916-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar 1902-S Morgan Dollar 1903-O Morgan Dollar 1954 Proof Set I think that I may be a little stuck in the 20th century.
Nice list. Last year I bought a 1902-S raw off ebay. In Dec. I sent it to NGC for grading. It came back MS62 in a retro black holder. I think they considered it a super slider because the cheek was clean and the fields were excellent. I can't see a circulation rub on it, but usually when it's MS62 with what I described above, they saw a rub. Good luck with your bucket list! No Capped Bust Halves on the list?
I've had a coin shop in New Jersey for 33 years and the one item I would love to walk into my store would be an original bank wrapped roll (any date) of Standing Liberty quarters. It's nice to dream!!
