What's the one coin that you would most like to see in an upcoming auction? The idea is that you would try to buy it, so it should be within your budget. Also, the coin must exist, so the TDN will need to rethink his choice of a rainbow toned MS68 78-cc trade dollar.

1796 no stars, small eagle, quarter eagle
1853-O NA quarter
1870-S quarter
1873-S NA half
1873-S Seated dollar
the other 1849 $20
There are probably more, but these would make an interesting start. Mind you now, I am not a collector, but I believe that I could represent collectors of these series.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

I've also been very curious to see the 1909 PCGS PR69RD IH that got framed to wall of the PCGS grading room due to a fingerprint. I hear its part of their grading set now -- can we see it at some future show David?
1857 P65 FE that I saw at the 1998 Portland ANA.
Any 1858 LL pattern.
Any 1867 MS65R IHC that deserves the grade.

while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
twenty times.
these coins are really uncommon coins but the demand is just not there nor do many realize how really REALLY uncommon they are just super unknown underapprecaited coins
as follows
1901 barber quarter a true ms65 gem coin with incredible cartwheel lustre and monster deep toned
the so called common 1863 cent in superb gem ms 66/67 with for the most part its original patina as struck and with absolutely no problems carbon spots no planchet alloy streaks no striations maybe with an original slightly mellowed skin and totally unmolested then this 1863 is as rare as or moreso than any other date in the copper nickel series 1860 to 1864 in superb gem mintstate
one of the hardest coins to get in ultra deep cameo proof in the three cent nickel series in gem 65
the 1871 a coin that is a gem proof 65 a real gem proof with really heavy ultra cameo obverse and at least a solid ultra reverse now that would be a one of a kind coin!
a totally original white super lusterous close tonear miss gem or gem ms 1874 trade dollar
a monster deep cameo liberty nickel never dipped in gem superb gem proof the ulitmate would be a near miss 68/solid 68 coin beyond rare! any date after 1900 NOT THE 1909!! now thats a spicy meatball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a 1937 proof set all superb gem with the origina mint cello toning and a set that has been together since it left the mint in the spring of 1937 TOTALLY ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i guess the list goes on and on
but as per the above i could never ever afford to buy any of these coins in the current market not even close!

A 1902 Micro-O Morgan dollar that is sufficiently problem-free to go into an XF-PCGS holder.
But's that's not going to happen, so I'd also be thrilled if a VF were to go up for auction.
