    1794 Dollar for me. Or a chain cent.

    Would a choice 1795 dollar work in the meantime?

    Indeed!

    Do you have one for sale?

    I'm keeping mine! Problem-free, hard steel-gray PCGS VG08. Even though the pricing on these has gone up in the last year or so, I just wouldn't let go of it.

    I’d love to see a picture of that one! :)

    1700's draped bust dollar in VF or XF.

    Any silver flowing hair coin

    Any US gold $5 pre-1840's (don't care about grade, as long as it's not holed/graffiti/scratched)

    A Mexico First Republic 2 reales in MS64

    Any nice Mexican First Republic gold coin

    And a flashy MS64 or higher capped bust half (pre-Gorbrecht)

    Can't fit any of these in my budget right now, but I will probably pick some up when the next FUN show comes around in January.

    Oh, and @ElmerFusterpuck 's 1822 rainbow toned XF45 bust half has been in my dreams and the back of my mind since I began collecting as a YN around 2016.

    Yes that 1822 was a dream when I chased it, but managed to get it! The other dream was the similarly toned 1818/7 half dollar in the same auction, but it got away from me. I have no idea who ended up with it; I've never seen it posted again anywhere.

    My original dream coin is a nice Chain cent. It could still happen.

    Dream coins are like dream women, it’s all fun and games until you get them, then your mind moves on to the next one.

    I would like the 1856o SP63 DE please

    I remember seeing this coin on the front cover of Coinage...a couple decades ago...probably more like four decades. Beautiful!

    My dream coin was and still is a MCMVII (1907) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, High Relief, Wire Rim...or a Flat Rim would do.
