whats the next coin you are looking to add to your collection

MacCoin · May 15, 2003 1:50AM

for me its a XF or better Barber Half. I have some G and VG but its time for an upgrade. that will complete my registry U.S. type set if the coins I submitted last week all come back in a slab.

Baley · May 15, 2003 1:53AM

EF or so draped bust cent. would consider a nice VF, and might decide to stretch and get an AU.

airplanenut · May 15, 2003 1:54AM

Whatever catches my eye at the show on saturday

MadMonk · May 15, 2003 1:55AM

Franklin half, 1955 MS66 FBL

Russ · May 15, 2003 1:55AM

PCGS 1866 Two Cent piece between MS62RB and MS64RB. Anybody have one?

Russ, NCNE

coincollector1989 · May 15, 2003 2:11AM

I'm sure it will be another Kennedy for me.

dorkkarl · May 15, 2003 2:21AM

An 1893-O Morgan in as attractive as possible VG-VF. I am very poor at the moment, and need to save some $$ for this one.

Bear · May 15, 2003 2:47AM

1853 A&R Half Dollar.

Your post raises a philosophical question. Should one have in mind a specific coin and go after it while ignoring other coins or should one be opportunistic and let good value coins find you (i.e. grab a desirable coin when it shows up even if it wasn't a priority coin on your want list)? Isn't one setting oneself up to overpay by having to get a specific coin? Then again, if you get derailed by grabbing otherwise desirable coins while on the search for the holy grail you can end up not having the resources left to buy the coin you would have been looking for when it surfaces.

goose3 · May 15, 2003 3:43AM

whatever catches my eye. (when I have some $$ again)

jbsteven · May 15, 2003 3:47AM

For myself it will be a 19th century proof 65 Morgan PCGS holder

nwcs · May 15, 2003 3:50AM

More mercs, then maybe another Morgan. Possible a Peace. Then a $20 lib.

JTMC · May 15, 2003 3:52AM

1910 $5 gold indian in AU or 2000-w pr69 dcam $5 gold eagle.

coinlieutenant · May 15, 2003 4:35AM

Civil War seated dime in PF64 to 66.

berylcoin · May 15, 2003 4:41AM

As always, a well struck 1875 P or S Twenty Cent Piece with strong XF detail and uncleaned surfaces.

BC

RNCHSN · May 15, 2003 4:43AM

Heavily circulated 94 and 93-S Morgans!

Wondo · May 15, 2003 4:47AM

I don't know - I try not to go after a coin in particular, but rather fill my want list. That way I won't pass up any opportunities to pick up a cool coin that I may not have in my line of vision. With all that said, I've been trying to buy a chain cent for a while now.

BAJJERFAN · May 15, 2003 4:49AM

A Morgan of some sort PCGS slabbed most likely. Have maybe a dozen on my want list as well as a specific in mind.

ElectricEye · May 15, 2003 4:52AM

Either a Morgan or a Blue Wackadoo...

Arkman · May 15, 2003 5:07AM

Any of the following: a 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D, or 1931-S Lincoln in any grade. Any coin from the 1800's.

RYK · May 15, 2003 5:12AM

I would like to buy a circulated Dahlonega half eagle or New Orleans no motto eagle, preferably a better date example.

IrishMike · May 15, 2003 5:38AM

Great question but I can't tell ya. Myself and another forum member are in cahoots on one coin that is currently up for auction. In our humble opinion it is a spectacular coin. Others may yawn at it but I have been privy to some spectacular camera work on the coin by the other forum member, which I am sure he/she will be happy to share once the coin is sold and/or in our possession.

Woodwind · May 15, 2003 5:43AM

Either a Barber Half in MS-63 or St. Gaudens $20 in MS-63. Oh heck. I'm single and just sold some stock options. I'll buy both.

SarasotaFrank · May 15, 2003 8:55AM

22 plain lincoln cent

21-d walker half

Geoman · May 15, 2003 8:59AM

Just started a Proof Ike set. So my next coin will be a PCGS PR69DCAM Ike. Tyring to get the 78-S and the 71-S next.

CarlWohlforth · May 15, 2003 9:01AM

I'm looking for several 19'th century type coins. I need to target one or two, otherwise it gets too complicated... I'd love to find a frosty, proof like 1866 Nickel

jeffnpcb · May 15, 2003 9:02AM

Bust, seated and Barber hlves for my type sets. Need a few other cent , dimes and nickles. Have to take care of the tough ones first in AU or better!

coinman2182 · May 15, 2003 9:05AM

For me I want a 2003 Silver Eagle and also need a 2002 and my proof set will of Eagles will be complete. I also want to get some more proof morgans. 1884-1885.

LincolnCentMan · May 15, 2003 9:44AM

I want a PCGS or NGC 1909-VDB in a bad way, MS65 or better. The only thing is... it has to be brown. Anyone got one for sell?

David

AKrick · May 15, 2003 9:56AM

ColorMeQuarters Registry Set

jbsteven · May 15, 2003 9:59AM

here is my NEW purchase

Wisconsin · May 15, 2003 10:02AM

I have two coins I am looking for and hope to find. They are an 1805 and 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar. Must be AU50-Au58.

barberlover · May 15, 2003 10:12AM

depending on economic circumstance for me, but if a certain dealer here who told me they run into m.s. 64 flying eagle cents with better luster than the one he wouldn't sell me in pcgs 64, i would certainly buy it [if he really can find one that impresses me more than his]

I still want to find the barber half that i saw more than 13 years ago that was the finest 65 i'd ever seen [it was an 1892 in ngc 65 and no visible marks with dark rainbow toning and fuoll semi prooflike luster. iwonder if that coin is still in the same holder??? Les

lordmarcovan · May 15, 2003 10:28AM

A nineteenth century proof. So far I have three; two from the Lightside and one from the Darkside. So it'll probably be a Darkside item.

This is tempting me. Gold, Ultra Cameo contrast, and eye appeal. Less than 800 minted. To me, eye appeal is more important than technical grade- this coin knocks my socks off:

ARCO · May 15, 2003 10:29AM

A perfectly toned original 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. Yeah I know, I can wish can't I?

CheckersFred · May 15, 2003 10:31AM

for me, realistically, probably another easy merc.
i need a lafayette bad though.

jbsteven · May 15, 2003 10:37AM

arco

this one is kinda close

copperhead · May 15, 2003 10:39AM

A 16-D Merc in XF/AU.

ConstellatioCollector · May 15, 2003 11:48AM

Looking for:
1783 Nova Constellatio Pointed Rays, Sm US PCGS MS63+
1785 Nova Constellatio Blunt Ray PCGS AU55+
1786 Nova Constellatio Any Grade!!!

Gambit32 · May 16, 2003 1:06AM

Nice and simple for me:
circulated grades of Franklins for 48D, 52S, 53 and 55. Last four I need.

LanLord · May 16, 2003 6:00AM

Well, I just placed on layaway, a 1793 chain cent in VF condition (except it has one ding on a link in the chain) so it is graded F.

This is going to be my first new coin added to a new pair of albums I just purchased. They are called "The Library of Coins - Type Set of US Coins" by the Coin and Currency Institute. It is a pair of albums that kicks butt on the Dansco 7070 album. There are spots for virtually every coin type released from 1793 until about the early 1960s (pre Kennedy though).

These two albums will take be about 10 years to complete (with alot of luck) perhaps longer.

tjkillian · May 16, 2003 6:41AM

I'd like to get a PCGS VF-30 Draped Bust Large Cent or half cent, common date.
