If not on the poll I will add it or list it below.

  • I consider modern to be 1964-date. In that case, I'd like a 64-D peace dollar.

    I like all those coins but I'm more interested in the WI varieties.

    Tough one.....for my collection, I would rather have the cherrios sac.
    The 1990 no S cent may be worth more though, right?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Not enough choices. "Not interested in anything modern" is what I was looking for.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • Clad I thought abought putting the WI extra leaf coins but with so many known I ruled them out. I am not saying there are plenty of 1999 wide AM and 1992-D close AM cents out there I just don't know where they are at.
  • What no sac mule or 11 cent coin

    Jackie $5? I've already got one of those. That's a modern "rarity" now?

    Put me down for the 2000-W Sackie. Only 12 extant, in gold, and they flew in space. Very high on the coolness factor, IMHO.

  • p8ntp8nt Posts: 2,947 ✭✭✭
    Obviously, you all chose the coin with the highest monetary value, right? image
  • MrEurekaMrEureka Posts: 24,421 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'd go for the gold Sac. A 74 or 75 aluminum cent would be #2. The 76 No "S" T1 Silver Ike, Half Dollar and Quarter are tied at #3. The 75 dime is #4.

    I'd pick the 1964-D Peace dollar. That would be kind of neat.

    You should have had a "show me the results" choice in the poll. All the stuff you listed is, well just "stuff." There are a few modern $5 gold and half dollars that I actually like better than the choices provided because I really like the designs. The cheapest "nice" coin IMO is the 1986 Stature of Liberty half dollar. The only thing that would have made it better was if it had been made in silver.

    The Sac/quarter mule has it all. Mystery (were they intentionally produced or accidents), scarcity (only 10 known), and it's a mule (the kind of error/variety you don't need a magnifying glass to appreciate).

    Since there is no "none of the above" I went with the 1995-W Eagle.

    the ebay ad says this is the rare 1992 D Close AM cent. Link to NOT SO MODERN rarity on ebay

    I wouldn't mind cherry picking one of these in AU condition ! It ain't about value , it's about rarity in the midst of the common coins for me image

    IMO this is a Wide AM cent which is worth about 1c. On the Close AM, the A and M are practically joined at the base.

    HELLO ? That is why the LINK says "NOT SO MODERN rarity" I say again, I wouldn't mind cherry picking one of these. I know this one is NOT ONE OF THEM, and I agree this is the normal or wide AM. I guessed something was up when I got a message in PM asking about my eye sight image

    Sorry about that, 2sides2acoin! I thought the Not So Modern part meant that 1992 was a while back. I agree with you, that coin ain't the real McCoy!

    thanks Rich. I was going to start a thread called "WATCHDOG", then I saw this thread asking what modern rarity one would like to find, so instead of my own thread pointing out NOT such good deals on ebay and such.... I just posted it here cuz it fit with the modern rarity thread.

    edit to add: I know this is off topic, but the EBAY title image me off, too image
