If You Could Have Any US Coin What Would It Be?

If you could have any U.S. coin what coin would you pick? You can also name American paper currency too (The 100,000 dollar bill isn't too bad of an idea!).

I think I would have to go with the 1943 copper penny or maybe the 1933 golden double eagle coin.

A trade dollar

1817/4 capped bust half. It isn't the only Red Book bust half variety I don't own, but it is probably the only one I couldn't own if I really pushed the envelop.

The proof 1823 quarter.

I'd pick the most valuable coin that I could legally sell -- then sell it, and put the proceeds toward providing for my family, so I could focus my whole attention on the hobby without the distractions of a job or a budget.

 

You could tape a million silver dollars together and act like it counts as "one coin" then untape it.

You could never own a 100,000.00 Bill!
They are tender only the Fed's uses. Always have been.

 

But this is imaginary so I could have anyone I wanted

Have 2017 pennies been released yet? I assume within a few months they will be as common as dirt.

 

So imagine the FBI knocking on your door and 25 years in Federal pen.
Not to mention free dance lessons from bubba.

 

I'd blame the genie that gave me it.

 

1964-D Peace Dollar

 

It was a joke, this year's Philly cents all have a mm. I'd love to own a 1911-D Indian $2.5 or a 17xx Draped Bust dollar in excellent condition.

 

You never know, one or two could slip through!

 

I got looking at some other odd-ball coins... has anyone else noticed that PCGS has a PR65 1922 matte finish high relief Peace dollar listed in it's auctions as being sold for $173 last march on ebay???? Is this a mistake on the pcgs listings or did somebody make the purchase of a lifetime?

More likely, PCGS has a data-quality problem -- they don't always weed out bogus auction results. I would suspect either incorrect details in the auction listing or a counterfeit slab.
