    I've seen many $1000 bags of Morgans years ago.
    But to answer your question I would say(I assume you mean in person,not just a picture):

    a 1792 half-disme, 1943 copper cent, 1944 steel cent, an MS68 or 69 Morgan silver dollar, A pre-1800 U.S. coin in MS condition, the 1870-s half dime or any unique or nearly so coin, a Stella, a proof bust coin, a 1969-S DDO lincoln cent, 1958-d DDO cent, a Proof half cent, an 1870-S silver dollar, a matte proof coin-Pre-1936, an 1894-S dime, the 1849 $20 gold coin or the 1933, an originial BU bag of wheat cents, a pattern aluminum cent, an 1876-CC twenty cent piece, a cheerios Sac dollar, A $50 gold coin or slug or whatever they are called, a low mintage $3 gold coin, The inside of Fort Knox, Gold coins in circulation, A pattern minted after 1916, etc.

    A citizen/entity winning a case against government in THEIR court of law, when they (govt's) decided the booty is theirs even before a mock trial. A travesty of justice is the norm.

    Think Langbord and Oddysey Marine Exploration. Let's toss the sheep in with the wolf and see what's for dinner. image

    I'm still trying to digest Keets thinking 1% of collectors have seen a genuine 1964 peace dollar. image
  • PistareenPistareen Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭
    I only know one person who claimed to have seen a genuine 1964 Peace dollar. I asked Walter Breen once upon a time if he'd ever seen one -- he had not.

    One lucky part about being an auction cataloguer for a decade: I've seen most of the things on this list in hand, including the unique rarities at the Smithsonian. I've been incredibly spoiled in that regard.

    How about this: 99% of coin collectors have not seen (and will not see!) a genuine, well worn (say VG-Fine) Continental dollar or Bar copper.

    No sir I have not. The last coin show I went to I bought a couple of rolls of walkers and I'm pretty sure the dealer I bought them from pulled them out of circulation for his grandkids image

    Go to one of the larger shows and check out some of the major dealers. Several have flashy young ladies as assistants commonly refered to as booth babes.

    Yeah I reckon the raleigh show doesn't warrant "booth babes" ...Sounds kinda like the wine sampling girls at the grocery store.

    All 10 of the seized Langboard 1933 Saints. I saw them at the 2006 Denver ANA convention.

    All 5 1913 Liberty nickels at the same time (only 2 of them were at the 2006 Denver ANA).

    All 5 1913 Liberty nickels were on display at one time at one of the Baltimore shows a few years ago.

    Did you mean ultra high relief Saints? The high relief saints are fairly common and you can see a dozen or more at most of the larger coin shows.
