What coin(s) are you targeting if you can scrounge up the $$$....find a coin exactly to your liking....etc. ? I have 3 coins I'd love to get: My 1908 No Motto Wells Fargo Saint in MS-66 with the OGH and CAC. I want the OGH not because of any holder-envy but because it's what the Wells Fargo Hoard was originally encapsulated in. Struck out on this at FUN 2026. Something like a 1922 Saint but with a Gold CAC (I don't have any Gold CACs). I'd like OGH here but it's not a dealbreaker. Probably targeting MS-63 or LOWER. An otherwise common Saint in low-60's grade to keep the cost down. A 2013-W Buffalo Reverse Proof in the NGC Black holder with the bison on the label. The gold in the reverse proof just looks so much better against a black holder than the white one, IMO. Unfortunately, even if I find them, the cost factor is somewhat prohibitive. I might have to settle for just 1 coin and MAYBE luck out and get 2 of them.
Pretty simple for me: 1. A reasonably affordable (for me) 1909 S VDB that has reasonable eye appeal. 2. Upgraded seated half dollar for my seated type set. 3. A reasonably affordable (for me) 1877 Indian head cent that has reasonable eye appeal. I am not actively pursuing these coins, but if I come across them, I will bite.
