Name one coin you want and would buy in a heartbeat...

MrEureka

but you just can't find it.

Maybe you'll get lucky and someone here can help you find it.

I'll start.

I need a very low end S-VDB for a client to complete an album. It can have a rim bump or two, incomplete rims and any other problems as long as it's authentic and not so ugly that it will jump out of the album as a problem. And it needs to be priced accordingly.

I've been looking for a year. Please help.

LincolnsRule

an ms66 58-p, or D nickel from 60 to 63.

orie

AG3 or G4 1885CC Morgan

Barberman55

Nice, totally original, 1909-O Barber quarter, in an XF/AU grade, preferably certified by PCGS or NGC.

tmot99

I have had one, but I think you are working on that for me.

Fairlaneman

A scrubbed/polished 1926S Oregon Trail Commen graded AU. I will pay AU or slightly under money for it.

Tough Coin.

<< <i>AG3 or G4 1885CC Morgan >>



I was at a show today and I bet I saw half a dozen circ 85-CC's. None quite as bad as AG or G tho. And a few 03-O in circ too!!

JrGMan2004

A CBHD that has been unattributed, and is an unknown die marraige... at least VG would be nice... problems aren't a problem, as long as it's genuine...

Gemini

>>Name one coin you want and would buy in a heartbeat<<

Mr Eureka your Central American Republic gold piece would do for starters...

1805 Half Cent(C-1) with nice, even hard brown color on a good planchet, AU-low MS. i'm finding that this is a very elusive issue.

Not many '33-S walkers show up for sale very often no matter what MS grade. It appears that most collectors tend to hold this coin when they obtain it. It's a coin I've wanted one for a long time myself and a nice 63 is about all I wanted to pay. DLRC had one up on their site the last week and I finally took the dive last night. I paid a premium, but I doubt anyone will see this particular coin on the market again for a long time.

keoj

A MS 1876-S DDO Trade Dollar. Rumor is that one exists......I'd have to fight TDN for it.

MAD4MORGANS

Barring money, Here are two right up on the top of my wish list:

-1888 O "Scarface" Morgan Dollar
-1921 D VAM-1X Morgan Dollar

Coinosaurus

How about a gem 1867 quarter?

Moose1913

PO01 1793 Chain Cent graded by either PCGS, NGC, or ANACS.

RYK

An original 1861-D $1 in PCGS VF-20

MikeJessie1

a 1909 P lincoln in 67 condition.

MrBreeze

PCGS 1860-S Quarter G-VF

I have several others, but one was the request.

MrHalfDime

An 1830 LM-5/V13 Capped Bust half dime in VF-AU, or perhaps an 1829 LM-12/V10 Capped Bust half dime in AU-MS, or maybe an 1832 LM-9.2/V14 Capped Bust half dime in any grade. And while we're at it, how about an 1844 V1 half dime in any grade, or an 1850-O V3 half dime in any grade, or an 1841-O V2 half dime in any grade. I don't believe the last three even exist. Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated.

CarlWohlforth

There are lots of coins I would buy in a heartbeat but I can't find the right combination of quality and price. They are PCGS graded type coins like:

Chain Cent VG
1859 IHC MS 64
No Stars Half Dime MS 65
No Stars Dime MS 64

50cents

A 1935-d walker with a full head in a PCGS ms-65 slab.

DrPete

1897-O Barber half PCGS MS 65 or better, nice for grade.

1908-D Barber half PCGS MS 66 or better, nice for grade.

Baley

any draped bust, heraldic eagle half dime in VG

DennisH

Price would matter because these are expensive coins, but here goes:

An 1878 Morgan VAM 14.11 in XF or less in a PCGS holder
An 1878 Morgan VAM 44 in XF or less in a PCGS holder
A 1914 Mexico "Caballito" Peso in MS-anything in a PCGS holder

trozau

A medal, not a coin: 1845 gold medal measuring 56 mm in diameter featuring William Wyon's powerful rendition of St George slaying a dragon.



Looks familiar, eh?

chabot510

an original and affordable xf early $5 (1795-1807)

MyWorldCoinTypeSet

See below. I'd be willing to buy complete Specimen Sets to get either of the two coins.

Coxe

A 1900-O/CC PL Morgan dollar.

IrishMike

AU 1878 IHC that doesn't look like crap.

onlyroosies

A 1963 MS67FB Roosevelt dime. There has to be one out there somewhere.

roadrunner

This has been on my want list for over 20 years:

Any "truly" GEM UNC seated quarter in the 1840-1849 window.
I've only seen a couple in 30 years and they weren't buyable at
the time. The services have "graded" any number of these in
65/66 grades but I can assure that most or all of them do not qualify for gem mint (full & strong luster, no rub, original surfaces, well struck, and clean). Most in 65 holders are semi-scrubbed and retoned or brutally dullish. I've yet to see one with full luster.

roadrunner

rmoss

It doesn't seem like much, but right at the moment a 1965 SMS cent in at least PCGS 67 red. I need it to finish the 3 year SMS set.

MORGANHUNTER2

1878- all denoms in au58-ms63- depending on the 'look'. no Morgans.

Shamika

A PQ 1935-P Buffalo in PCGS MS66. As common as this coin is, I can't seem to find a single one that meets my expectations.

Crazy4Coins

An original problem free 1815/2 Bust Half in MS63...that's what I would buy.

elwood

A nice 1822 25/50 Quarter EF to MS-63



A choice VF-EF 1852 Seated Quarter


If someone has either, let me know

Along the lines of Steve's last post, I would purchase:

1796 small eagle quarter eagle, a coin which should logically exist
