Well, for RYK, it seems to be obvious... 
For me... an 1833 LM-5 Half-Dime in VF20, AU50, or MS62...

No doubt about it- A 1792 Half Disme.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

There was one in NGC MS68 at the NY show... you should have been there
As my coin-self has matured, I think I'd also like to have a truly nice RD MS Flying Eagle. Still love them (but no budget for them).

Seriously? I never knew there were any graded that high. It's a good thing I wasn't there, I would've passed out!
What was the deal with it? For sale, auction, or just display?

PCGS price guide is around $4000.00, trying to find one in full bands is the real challenge.

a) An original AU Heraldic Eagle Bust $
b) An MS 63 BN problem free Classic Large Cent with glistening luster (this will probably be the last coin I can find for my type set)
c) Any Unc., original, problem free Draped Bust slabbed silver coin.

"Sou Mangueira......."
Naturally, many others come to mind, too. But that would be high on my list of US coins.
MS67 PL 1941S Walker
Modern : the 24 karat gold "outspace" Sac 1$
One was discovered recently in a strong VG 10 state and I know that there must be others out there somewhere. Finding one in choice AU would be the pinnacle to my Barber set.

Unlike the so-called classic rarities, such as the 1804 dollar, 1913 V nickel, 1894 S dime, 1876 CC 20 cent piece, 1884-85 Trade dollars, with or without arrows seated coinage, etc., the 1802 half dime is a "real" coin with a tiny mintage that actually was released into circulation. To me, this is the true American classic rare coin.

That would be another dream coin of mine. It's estimated there are only 35 known with many of them being really low grade coins, and only 8 of these grading higher than VF

But I'll settle for a classic 1856 Flying Eagle Penny.

Actually, once the dream is realized, the target changes. The coin that you referenced when you start the thread is now old news.
The top of the "wish list" coin is an 1854-D $3 in original XF-40 condition. It will be difficult to find in my price range (ignore published prices--they are unrealistic)

that would be me as well.
Otherwise, I'd like an 1849 Double Eagle. A couple are suppose to still be out there somewhere so who knows?
Or, a high grade mint state 1895 Morgan Dollar would hold me over.
