Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 864989, member: 9270"]I'll stick to coins that I want for reasons OTHER than pure value.My current chance of actually getting the coins are rated from 0 (= no way) to 10 (= as soon as I see one) $20 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens (XF or better) - it's the only 20th century type that's missing from my type set (NGC listing). CHANCE = 0 $1 1895 Morgan (XF or better) - although I rarely collect proofs, I'll make an exception in this case; I have an example of all the other date/mm Morgans (VAM's not considered) CHANCE = 0 5¢ 1915-S Buffalo Nickel (XF or AU) - need one to replace the one I have which has serious damage. Why only XF or AU? Because it will match the rest of my set. CHANCE = 8 (tough to find in the desired grade and problem-free) 1¢ 1915-S Lincoln Cent (XF or AU) - need one to replace the one I have which has a couple spots of verdigris. Why only XF or AU? Because it will match the rest of my set. CHANCE = 8 (tough to find in the desired grade and problem-free) 1¢ 1941 Lincoln Cent (PF-65 or -66) - it's the only coin missing from my birthyear set. Not hard to find BUT so far all the ones I've seen are either overpriced or have a problem (spots). CHANCE = 9 (tough to find without problems) Those are my top 5.There's plenty more waiting to move up.[/QUOTE]
