What coins are on your "hit list?" AKA... want list

I was just thinking about the few coins I have left to finish out my set. There's a couple of high dollar ones (at least for me) and several that are down-right affordable. So I thought about posting them on the Buy-Sell-Trade forum... but that would imply that I actually have the copasity to buy something right now, which I dont. So I thought I'd make some fun conversation over here. What are the coins that you're currently looking for?

On my set, I lack twelve, but the dates I'd really like to knock out are:
1911-S PCGS/NGC MS64BN or better
1915-S PCGS/NGC MS64BN or better
1919-S PCGS/NGC MS64BN or better

    I'll consider my Lincoln set "complete" if I get these 8 coins...(64rd) 12-s,13-s,14-s,15-s,19-d,23-s,24-d,27-s. Still would need some cheaper coins (don't even have an 09-vdb yet!) and would still look for more upgrades.

    My toned Peace $ set is down to the final 2 --- 1928 & 1934-S

    I have never seen a nicely toned example of either one. I would surmise its because many Peace collectors like their coins flashy white and probably most of the 28 & 34-S have been dipped in an effort to get the coin into a higher graded slab.

    I just have to keep searching and upgrading my set as I wait.

    Perhaps Gillio has some toned Peace $ in that hoard he just bought. image

    I need a lot for my Lincoln set, but the one at the top of my list right now is the 1954-P in PCGS MS66RD. It is the only one after 1935 that I don't have in 66 or 67. The price on these has skyrocketed this year and it's driving me nuts!!

    I'm working on a Large Cent set 1839 - 1857. I've got 7 of the 19 coins in the set. I'm focusing on high grade coins in BN, although I've picked up a couple of very nice RB coins. I think these coins have great value in their grade and color.

    If money was no object I would buy red coins. Red coins are much, much more than the BN and RB coins. Besides, I like the look of BN and RB on these large coins.

    Any nice originally toned MS65 piece of the following halves:
    1811-1836 bust type, 1837 RE, and 1853 A&R.

    One coin that has been on my want list for over 20 years and still it has eluded me:

    Common date 1840's seated quarter in strict original, eye-appealing gem MS65 condition. Unfortunately that eliminates about 90% of the 65's currently slabbed!!! You know, the ones that have dead luster or have been double or triple dipped or look like they were in a bar fight. Good luck!

    A 1965 SMS Kennedy in DCAM. It's the last one I need for my set to be at 100% deep cameo. Of course, I'm always looking for upgrades for all the coins.

    Since we don't actually have to be able to pay for them now, my list is very long. image I recently started a 1914 proof set (Mom's Proof set). Making progress on it is high on the list. I have the cent and nickel - I only need the Barber silver ones. image I stll need a nice 1957 cameo nickel. A near cameo 1941 nickel would be nice, a well-struck 1926-s merc (and buffalo) ... I guess I better get busy imageimageimage

    There are 3 Mercury dimes that I would gladly buy in MS64 or better, if I could find coins that I like at reasonable prices. I'm looking for coins that are original undipped white, or with attractive light toning.

    1921-P
    1925-D
    1926-D
