Liberty seated quarters-1867,1868
Large cents 1809-1813 any
Bust Quarters almost any date up to 1828
Trade dollars-any non-proof
Morgans-1904, 1896-O, 1886-O, 1889-O,1890-O,1891-O, 1892-O, most 1893-95.
There are many more but these are my favorite ones to look for. Bob
The worst struck US gold coin from any mint.
But once you find one, oo-la-la!

No drapery quarter 1838-39
No drapery half 1839
A&R half 1853 - for how many survive, it's surprisingly tough
Any New Orleans seated quarter - I've seen 3 UNC's over 30 years
that had great eye appeal.
And how about any 1932, 32d or 32s Washington quarter? These invariably come ugly, mottled, nicked up, etc. I don't go actively looking for these, but I have never seen one I really liked.
Frankly, it's getting to the point that for other than proof Barbers and Morgans, and BU Morgans / BU post 1940 coinage, it's getting downright ridiculous to find any superb originally toned coinage in any denomination. Thanks NCS!

I would have to agree with all of the above statements, although I don't collect branch mint gold.
I also have been looking for a well struck 1921 Peace Dollar, regardless of grade, and the hair detail is missing for all - save for the proofs - coins that I have seen.
Standing Liberty Quarters with "ultimate full head" and full shield lines with complete shield bosses are extremely difficult to locate.
