Name your ultimate UNDER $1000 dream coin.

Two simple rules:

The coin must exist.

If available, the coin should be expected to cost less than $1000.

    A colorfully toned MS or PR 3 cent silver... those tend to run $600ish when I see them in 63-64.

    A common IHC in PCGS MS65 RD. Are those typically under $1000? I know common 64 RDs sell for around $100.

    Littlewicher you can find a common MS65RD IHC for as low as $300-350. A better common might be about $400. You want luster, a nice strike and a lack of marks especially carbon spots. Look for a golden light colored one.


    Coinrookie that's a relatively easy Oregon to find. Will run you about $650, at least that's what I paid David Lawrence.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I want a 1970-S MS66FS Jefferson in a PCGS holder!!! Not really an ultimate coin, but I just can't find it!!!!

    HA! Edited to say that maybe the problem is due to the fact there's only ONE in the Pop Report! I guess I should give up!! hehe!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I'd go for a great contemporary counterfeit Standing quarter or Walker. I've seen one of each that had enough character to qualify as my dream coin. Neither was for sale, but I would probably pay $1000 for either one.

    Not a single coin but an OBW roll of 1939 quarters!!! I haven't found an unopened original OBW roll from the 1930's!!!

    I have the 1940-P and 1940-s OBW rolls but I am nowhere on the 1930's!!

    NGC black slab from their first few months of opperation. I wouldn't really care about what coin would be in it.

    A type date barber quarter in 65 that beats my best piece for luster and color. Or for the dealer i saw today at a show to come down to earth for the price he is asking for a beautiful 1855 large cent in 64 red [he wants 1300 bucks for it!!!]
    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.
