1956 DCAM Type 1 Proof 69 Franklin half dollar in an OGP set that I purchase for bid.
I'm still hoping for a 42 over 1 mercury dime... also a scarface Morgan vam would be cool.
Click on this link to see my ebay listings.
There are several I would enjoy finding.
These have so far eluded me:
1970-S Proof Lincoln DDO die 3
1970-S Proof Lincoln TDO die 7
1972 Lincoln Cent DDO die 4 ( although I found one in the mid 1980s in high grade circ. but sold it too cheaply not knowing how rare it was)
1963-D Lincoln Cent DDO Die 1
(Not tough but I just have not picked one yet)
1983 copper 1c
....and I still think a 1970-S 1c business strike may exist with large/small date, although by now the vast majority of surviving unc. 70-S coins have likely been searched)
1870-S Half dime or 1870-S $3!
1840-O Quarter Drapery Large O.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.
a 1909 s vdb cent. you never know
1943 copper Lincoln.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
A couple cans of gold coins in the woods worth 11 million dollars. Sell some privately and keep the rest in my collection.

I met a very personable young man at a coin show many years ago who had a few binder pages filled of 42 and '42-D overdates. I asked him how he found so many and he just said he looked through a lot of dimes. I can't imagine searching so many since I've looked through thousands and never found one. It's a tough job looking too since there are so many '42's and a few '43 and '45's can be mistaken for them.
Not too picky...
Any of the big 14. something VAM's in 1878 8TF
Finding a raw 1939d Buffalo that will grade MS68
I think finding these in the wild are certainly still achievable.

All the coins (circulated condition is ok) I still need to fill all the holes in my blue Whitman folders................

Hey, I'm not particular !!!
Mine would have to be just one of either a 16 overdate or a 18 over 17 Buff, but has anyone every seen a digit under the 7 on a 1917-D buffalo? Just wondering because there is! Take a extra close look at your coins, you may be surprised, but remember who told you...
A gold coin with my metal detector. Found some silver, but never any gold other than jewelry and very little of that.
1916 doubled die Buff. I've cherried all the major varieties in the series except that one and the 1915 DDO-001.
Still hoping I can find a plain obverse quint in circulation. Will you be releasing it into circulation any time soon? @Regulated
The problem with unique coins is that once they're found, that's all we get...
edited to add: there could be a copper 8-Unit Nova Constellatio pattern somewhere, as there were plans to make the denomination.

There's a very real chance that a $100 (or higher denomination) Lettered Edge Humbert slug exists somewhere - it would look like a regular slug from the front, but would be twice as thick, and would be stamped 100.
Imagine digging up one of those!

1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent.
Obviously any example would do, but to find a fresh red BU one in the middle of an original roll would be even better!
I'll lower the bar and would like to find a Cheerios Sac $1 in the wild.
"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
I think there is another 1795 half dollar die marriage out there somewhere. None have been discovered since Beistle's 1929 book on half dollars.
I love that coin!
1901-S Barber Quarter would be great.
But just in case I don't find one, I trying to save up for one.
Everything is all right!
A trio of gem BU 1860-s Quarters in the bottom dust shelf of an Empire dresser purchased at a flea market for $200.
That’d do it.
A nice MS Hotlips out of a fresh roll would work.
I suppose cherry-picking a high-relief 1922 Peace dollar would be pretty nice.
1822 10¢ VG or+ Details Holed where ever it is.
55/55 DDO would definitely make my day ..... but I don't do roll or bulk sorting so slim to nothing chance
There's find, and then there's find at face value in change.
Of the former, in the realm of something I might afford, a nice Cameo Proof 1937 Buffalo.
Of the latter, the only ones that seem to have some potential for actually finding are some of the Lincoln Memorial DDO/DDR or the 1992 close AM.
U.S. Type Set
A circulated 1894-S Barber dime. Would love to have a completely complete set. I believe there’s still at least one somewhere out there in the wild, waiting in a jar or an old cigar box. In any event, there’s a higher likelihood of that than there is of me ponying up $2M the next time one comes up for auction.
Any of the 3 1827 bust half die marriages that I still need...137, 148, or 149.
I would like to find the '55 DDO cent and the 1919 DDO dime
....I look for those two all the time.... One never knows what could turn up in change, at a yard sale, an antique shop or a flea market. Cheers, RickO
1875-P Trade Dollar with a Chop. 78-CC is also key but is commonly known as the key of the series and would never be cheap. The 75-P is just as, if not more, rare with a chop, but is not commonly considered a particularly desirable date in the series to those that don't collect Trades. Maybe someday.
1933 Saint!
Those would be nice but I’m looking for the O150.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Boring. Why not go straight for the quarter???

One of the cool things about the coins I collect is that there are at least a dozen unknown to R-8 coins that I've never had the opportunity to buy. I know that some of them will come up at some point, and I know they won't be impossibly expensive to buy. It's just a matter of staying focused and staying alive.

A decent 1837 No stars dime without problems.
I had one from the embassy in Libya, but it expired!
ditto for me.
Minor Variety Trade dollar's with chop marks set:
More Than It's Chopped Up To Be
Both of those in the OP sound great to me
I would LOVE to find a 1829 Curl 2 Bust Dime and the 1827 JR14.
The missing South Carolina Lotto ticket so I can just buy all the coins.
1964-D Peace dollar.

1893-S Morgan’s. I say Morgan’s because I’m out metal detecting searching for some robbers hidden stash. Nuts, my wife just woke me up.
