For me its a nice origional full rim NO PROBLEM 1901-S barber dime. ...well, there is that NGC MS64 that's dipped white in someone's ebay store, but I'd be more interested in a G to XF with an origional gray look.

I got a beautiful VF20 92-S barber dime in from JJTeaparty today. That sucker was hard to find also.

    Now this is an interesting question that I have to give some thought.

    A "common" date 1840's seated quarter in full blown original gem
    (ie full mint luster cartwheel, orig toning, and no high point rub).

    This has been on my want list since 1983 (when I was offering to pay $4000 for any gem from the 1840's (43,44,45,46,47 would be the dates most likely to be found). A simple 1843 or 1846 would make me happy as on paper those are the 2 easiest dates to find in higher grades. I'd like to own a real gem someday just to say I did it.

    Sad part is that most of these have been cleaned or overly-handled so that the above requirements are rarely met. I've seen some in MS66 holders that had dull luster and a touch of rub which could be called 64 at best.

    If I put together a want list for the series I collect, it would be more than 1000 coins. Most are very affordable, yet none is readily available.

    Apparently it is so.

    While not rubbed, take a gander at the Pittman 1844-0 25c in a 66 holder. It's one of the biggest
    pieces of swill ever graded that high. First time I saw it at auction it fetched a measly $5000 (low 64 money)....and not worth it
    to me. The Gene Edwards gem from a. 1982 ANA auction would be worthy of gem status today and probably
    a $20K-40K price tag (that brought all of $3K as I recall in 1982....and I had no money at the time).
    Ironically, someone stepped up and paid $13,000 for the Pittman 44-0 not too long ago. I wish them luck
    with the holder (rather than the coin).

    Regarding the 1830 SL cent, here is mine. Grade it as you please (NGC AU58 or EAC AG-3 ?image?) I do not believe I have ever seen one of these that I would call AU, or even EF-45.

    What coin can I afford but can't find? There are a lot of them, but how about an honest Gem MS65 1895-P Barber dime in a PCGS 65 holder?

    All of the following, original with NO problems:

    Common date draped bust half dime G-VG
    1795 Flowing hair half dime G-VG
    1795 Flowing hair and draped bust dollar, G-VG

    Just nice honest examples of each. I can't afford to do all of the early stuff in high grade, so instead I'd kind of like it to match. I suspect that some day I'll have to go to some of the big shows to find ones with which I would be happy.
