Scottishmoney Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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.

ccg Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 A $20 of the coronet variety. Looks cool. @shield nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Sheesh. Lots of them I wanted but never owned. I think to say ALL regular issues prior to 1800 would cover it pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Even my 10 yr old daughter has bought a few of the USA Morgans. 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.

Tiffibunny Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Oh, oh, that reminds me. The Texas Half Dollar. Though I could achieve that if I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 A skinny eagle reverse (1796-97) half dollar. 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.

Mediccoin Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 1921 Double Eagle. I remain optimistic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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.

gpnyc Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 As for a Gobrect dollar...check out the current ANR auction Thanks for the link! I see that the coin is in a PCGS holder yet it looks cleaned to me. What's your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Nice half you have there gpnyc. I wouldn't mind having one like that. Well it took me 25 years of collecting coins to finally get one so don't give up hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
