i actually have two that i search for, hoping to cherrypick-----a 1940 Reverse of 1938 Proof Jefferson Nickel and a CAM/DCAM 1956 Type One Franklin, either unholdered or holdered and improprly designated. the Franklin is the easier of the two, the tricky part is finding one with two-sided Cameo. with the Jefferson, since there's no certain mintage number, it's hard to know how rare they really are.
Just picked up my last "goal" coin (1872-CC dollar). The new goal coin is any 1872 proof gold coin. (Saw a PF58 $5 gold go by for $5,000 last month: still way too much for my budget right now. If my wife finds out that I spent $2,990 for the PCGS VF30 CC dollar, I'm already dead! )
Robert Getty - Lifetime project to complete the finest collection of 1872 dated coins.
SBA or Sacagawea dollar. VG or better. 40 million of em so's I can pick the one I like best and spend the rest. Federal Reserve notes would also work. ones through hundreds. Not picky.
I own all my goal coins - just looking to fill in the remainder!

(Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal.
Mark (Eagle7): Yes, I am a big fan of $20 Gold pieces (Saints & Libs). I like the coin designs plus their gold color, heavy weight, and beautiful luster
I LOVE Gold + LOVE Big Coins = I REALLY LOVE $20 Gold Pieces.
I am also a fan of Silver Dollars for the same reasons (subsitute silver for gold in the above equation)
It so happens that my "Goal" coin is a "Gold" coin: 1907 $20 Saint High Relief

A Panama Pacific $50 Octagonal in an "affordable" AU grade, a half disme in any grade (drilled, holed, tooled, abrasively cleaned, whatever), a PR63 Saint Gaudens $20, or a 1794 Bust Dollar in VG with the price for any one of those in the $10,000.00 to $16,000.00 range.
I'm dying to get my hands on a sparkling mid- to upper mint state $20 St. Gaudens, any date will probably work. And then perhaps an equally sparkling $20 Lib. Sigh......
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
See my .sig. My quixotic quest is for a 1982-D Washington Half in an ANACS MS69 holder. Current population: 0. If anyone makes one, keep me in mind -- I'll pay good money for it.

Out of reach financially for a while yet!

There's so many! But the one I'd really like is an 1875-CC Twenty Cent in MS63+ with super nice toning.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
