I have never owned a 20¢ piece, or a shield nickel Of course I have never owned a Bust Dollar, or the early gold, but at least I have had one example of most everything else.

A $20 of the coronet variety. Looks cool.

@shield nickel.

Sheesh. Lots of them I wanted but never owned.
I think to say ALL regular issues prior to 1800 would cover it pretty well.

Hmmm, well I have the 20c, and the shield nickel... I'm pretty close to having everything on the type set. So, I guess a Flowing Hair (insert any denomination).

a morgan dollar

Well heck, you're easy.

Even my 10 yr old daughter has bought a few of the USA Morgans.

I have no gold and I want some. After considerable deliberation, I have decided that I want a $20 St Gaudens, a $10, $5 and $2.5 Indian. EF-AU with no problems is just fine..dates not important Not slabbed...there are several dealers that I trust (not so much that I haven't educated myself some on weights and specific gravity and common counterfits etc) as well as spending the last 6-7 months looking closely at as many as I am able to examine close up.

Been very patient and sort of waiting for gold to go down but it has not been very cooperative. Hopefully, I will buy myself a big-@** xmas gift and then watch the Treasure of the Sierra Madre with my gold and chuckle.


... and if you ask me the question again after that, I will have another answer

$10 Indian head Eagle

Firstly, congrats on 500. Secondly, Ive been dragging my feet on the whole morgan dollar dillema. I have an issue with collecting in general. I'm what you call a algae bloom collector. I start out at one, then end up collecting anything related to the subject ( Books, newspaper articles, making expansive databases, notes). Then one random day I wake and say, "This is too much crap, I wonder who I can give it to?" I am a coinaholic, and coinpeople is the little yellow pill that keeps me even. The only coins I am currently collecting are state quarters and nickels. If I were collecting morgans, I would be too busy working two jobs to get semi-key dates and mowing lawns and shoveling snow for some carson city's. Its just not safe.

a 1928 hawaiian half dollar. that, and i'm sure i wouldn't pass up a st gaudens double eagle ... especially since i have never had a gold coin.

Oh, oh, that reminds me. The Texas Half Dollar. Though I could achieve that if I wanted.

A skinny eagle reverse (1796-97) half dollar. a 1792 half disme (or a disme for that matter). I, too, have never owned any U.S. gold, but then, I have no disire for any either.

Look at my saint set in my sig line, then look at the empy holes, all of those except the 23-D I have never owned by want to! Besides that I would love a type set of pre-1834 gold, none of which I have ever owned.

I finally got one of those this year. Not much in terms of grade but you know how hard they are to find problem-free. Linky....

1796 50¢

I'm looking for a circulated problem free Gobrecht Dollar these days. Tough coin to find.

1921 Double Eagle. I remain optimistic though

all coins of all countries that I have visited, minus the "few" I already have.....

For US coins, there's an example in the "Working on my type set" thread, listed in that table

I love, love, love the early gold. Liberty just looks funky. Not in my price range at the moment, maybe in 30 years when the kids are self sufficient.

Not bad at all on your half.

As for a Gobrect dollar...check out the current ANR auction

Nice half you have there gpnyc. I wouldn't mind having one like that.

I do not have any gold coins but in the next few years I see a handful entering my collection. Another piece that I don't have is a 20 cent piece.

The twenty cent piece sticks out for me as does a trade dollar.

3 cent nickel is what I need to get next

don't own gold, don't need to

Thanks for the link! I see that the coin is in a PCGS holder yet it looks cleaned to me. What's your opinion?

Well it took me 25 years of collecting coins to finally get one so don't give up hope!

09S IHC, 09S VDB, 14D, $20 Gold Eagle, and a Shield nickel in EF or better. A few days ago I bought my first Morgan in XF, (but I think it could go for AU), and since then I have been obsessed with silver. At the coin shop I bought a 5oz bar of silver and a 1oz when silver was down at like 6.65. I have been checking the stocks everyday now, waiting to sell. After I sell, I'm going to wait til it goes down again to get the kilo that they have . My friend had to go and outdo me, by buying a 10oz. Oh well.

The color is kinda washed-out looking to me, but at least from the pic I really don't see any problems. Call Melissa at ANR and ask her about it. (or have someone who is attending eyeball it for you.)

Jim

1856 Flying Eagle cent

1916 SLQ

1955/55 DDO Lincoln cent

1794-95 Dollar

......................for starters!!!!!...................

There's only one thing i want more than anything else either a 1796 or a 1797 dime in GVF.

Same auction as above

TPC graded as XF which is about as close to GVF as we Yankees can come.

Jim

Hmm i could live with that!

Really nice half gp --

Brasher Doubloon -- either variety...

A 1933 St. Gaudens (that no one else knew about, hehe)

Any clean Gobrecht dollar.

An uncirculated 1932 P/D/S Washington quarter set.

A 1916 set - dime (D of course), SLQ and Walker (S mint).

Any Stella.


... I can't find a smilie of someone drooling uncontrollably ...

I'm easy too, a Morgan Dollar would be nice
