Baley's Half Eagle . I owned a similar dream coin and hope to own another someday. The is something about that design in gold that makes it more appealing to me then even the St. Gauden's Double Eagle.
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
It would have to be this Morgan pattern half dollar if it actually exists which is doubtful. The Judd book lists this coin as J1508 but it remains unconfirmed. The design exists in copper (J1509) with 7 confirmed specimens including an example plated in silver which is probably where the J1508 designation arose.
The image is a composite of J1504 (obverse) and J1510 (reverse)
That 1916 PCGS 67FH SLQ from Wondercoin is one of the most beautiful coins of that date I have ever seen. I am wondering if this is a coin from the collection of fellow board member "Just Having Fun"... he has a few duplicate 1916 SLQ's in that grade !
Fess up, Oscar, is that one of your duplicates ?

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). >>
Mike, I'll see your 98-O Micro O in PCGS XF45 and add a 92-O Micro IN PCGS XF45.
Some private issue Panama Pacific expo silver quarter dollar... it features a laborer one the obverse and a tree with the ocean on the reverse. It's amazing. I've only seen a pic of it once, in PCGS plastic.

If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
Only if it has some "eye appeal"

I don't know how many folks caught this, but that was a good one!
BTW, I fulfilled my previous dream about a year ago of obtaining an 1893-S Morgan. I got her slabbed PCGS AG03, but at least she got a grade.
Check out a Vanguard Roth IRA.
Fess up, Oscar, is that one of your duplicates ?
