Mine is the 1794 Dollar so eloquently captured in prose by Cardinal. Yours?

but really, the simple FE. '56, or proof '57. it's something about the anthropomorphism of an eagle as "Liberty"/obv., that does it for me.

Man, heavy on the dream on that critter. The SVDB didnt come in proof.
I'm not sure there is a single coin that I want I'd refer to as a "dream coin." At this point, I've owned most of my childhood or teenage "dream coins." The 1856 flying eagle is one that I havent owned yet, and is probably the closest coin that I want that would fit that discription.
Here's the dream coins that, as a kid, I thought I'd probably never own:
1909-S VDB
1877 Three Cent Nickel
1893-S Morgan

1804 dollar
1933 double eagle
1849 double eagle
1797 16 star bust coin in mint state
1907 ulta high relief double eagle
a 1722 rosa americana penny, in AU+.
Thanksgiving National Battlefield Coin Show is November 29-30, 2024 at the Eisenhower Allstar Sportsplex, Gettysburg, PA. Tables are available. WWW.AmericasCoinShows.com
Something like this coin at heritage in MS60+ is the dream. Low low grade will be the reality if I'm even that lucky.
Need more $$$ for coins?

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

J-1508 only rumored to exist >>
Someday I will find that coin at a show here in the Netherlands
