Seated Dimes, Circ Strikes has a unique coin required for completion (1873-CC N/A).
Seated Quarters are almost as bad...the 1873-CC N/A once again is difficult with only five known.
Half Dimes and Half Dollars will have similar stoppers when they go online.
The $3 Gold has the 1870-S (unique) and the $5 Liberty Gold has the 1854-S (not sure how many are out there as I don't have the right book in front of me but PCGS hasn't graded one yet).
Having said that...the two that I would pick as the "most" impossible are the early $5 Gold with varieties and the complete Large Cents with varieties. Too many "problems" with completing either of these that I won't even try to list them.

Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience... twenty times.
Thanks for the feedback. Nice to know that there are other sets out there that are next to impossible to complete and that it is probably okay for them to be not 100% complete.

Yeah that 1933 is kinda tough but the rest aren't much better than pocket change...I don't know what the big deal is about J-1776 either.
