What's your dream coin?

What's that one coin you do not already own, but would like too, and someday plan too?
For me, it'd would be a proof buffalo. The Buff is my all-time favorite series. Budget willing, some day I hope to own a nice example.

Well, a totally original black/purple 1939 Proof Walker with just a touch of emerald glitter under that black mottled and thick skin to excite me in strange ways. I'd like to find it myself in some very old collection, naturally.

A nice pine tree shilling would probably be my choice.

1796 or 1797 half dollar (or both)
Wreath cent
1793 capped bust cent
1856 flying eagle cent
1955/55 cent
Half disme
disme
1822 dime (vf or higher)
1804 quarter
1815/2 half dollar
turban head 2.5, 5 and 10 gold
Probably a few hundred others.
I could probably save up to afford a damaged one (cleaned, ex-jewelry, etc) but problem-free MS or high circulated grades are very rare and super pricey. So it's a dream for now.
If we were gonna talk about dreams that will never happen, then I'd want to put together a full date run of these (including of course the 1815, 1819, 1821, 1822, and 1829. Maybe a hoard will turn up in Europe in my lifetime, I can always dream
Other than that - a certain 1873-CC Seated dollar also ranks pretty high.
<< <i>$50 Pan-Pac octagonal >>
Ditto for me...
Actually the whole Pan-Pac set would sate my desires...

I guess the next piece on my list would be a 1794 Dollar followed by a 1793 Strawberry Leaf Cent

Dont worry cause i doubt one will ever be graded a MS69 by pcgs or NGC!

Fred, do you know of any that actually exist? That would be sweet to see.
The darker side of numismatics has always interested me.

You never know....I won a nice MS63 just for filling out the annual Heritage survey a few years back....First prize was a MS HR Saint (just missed that one, but certainly not complaining!).
