If you could own any coin in the world, which would it be and why? Which coin do you dream about adding to your collection someday if you ever get the opportunity?
There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who know binary and those who don't.

There are several I'd love to have.
1794 dollar
1796 or 97 half dollar
1836, 38 or 39 Gobrecht dollar
These would all give me a chubby.

Better watch that talk, Sheriff sample slabs will want to know what that is, then tell you it's OT!!!!
For me, I would love to someday own a Bust Dollar XF or better......
'49-S 66FBL PL Franklin
edited to add: Okayknow I had my fun. The real answer is the 1804 $ in the King of Siam Set (or course we can't breakup the set, so ...)
why? it is just absolutely beautiful

26-S Lincoln that I buy raw at a local coin show and have it grade 65RD.

Having owned it for 18 years, it is time to make it someone else's possible dream coin.
Dream Coin
roadrunner
or
the 1894-s Barber .10
I am not that much of a type collector, but I really love the Redbook plate coin 1796 Draped Bust quarter or to own the 1799/8 Large cent in PCGS-58.
The one that I purchase, and then, actually keep it.
After seeing that slaying of the dragon in gold I'm wanting to learn more about that one...
1878-S Seated Half.........
1873 No arrows - open 3 Seated half........... (In reality MUCH scarcer than the 78-S, but cheaper since not required for a date/mintmark set)
93-S Morgan (VF or better)
79-CC GSA Dollar
An ORIGINAL 51 mint set
All of which I've located & acquired within the last year...........
I'm kinda looking for a NEW direstion, but I think I'll be content with locating the 98 known varieties of Seated Halves that I dont already have !!!!
If you've got Seated halves (by W-B #) for sale, PM me please !!!
3 "DAMMIT BOYS"
4 "YOU SUCKS"
Numerous POTD (But NONE officially recognized)
Seated Halves are my specialty !
Seated Half set by date/mm COMPLETE !
Seated Half set by WB# - 289 down / 31 to go !!!!!

Or about any super HTF Key-Date US coin would suffice.
I saw a NGC 66BN example on e-bay several times. I saw it change hands three times... or at least be offered three by three different sellers. Each time it went up a K. I probably wont ever own it. I'd really like to get a screamer, though.

The Circ. 94-S dime would be very:
I've always wanted that coin.
But would agree with Nic.

I've owned/sold/held some really great coins. I can say that there aren't any that I JUST HAVE TO HAVE
Now I take pleasure in finding choice problem free PQ sliders.

Okay, I guess I'd rather have an 1898-O Micro O Barber Half Dollar in PCGS AU 58, than anything else right this minute. (The 94-S dime is a close runner up though).

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
New Barber Purchases
not available then I'd settle for a 1933 Saint.

<< <i>1913 Liberty Nickel - PCGS Proof-66 Eliasberg - It's a $3 million coin with some neat history. And it would fill an empty hole in my folder. >>
Not sure you could get it for that amount now.
Oh yeah, for sure the only "dream coin" I have ever had.
