For me I will go after a 1914-S Barber quarter or a scarcer Buffalo nickel like say a 1921-S either in F-12 if that is grade is available when I get the buyers bug.

    I just ordered several "P" mint rolls of presidential dollars for a guy and his woman. They're filling up albums for their kids. Who knows what's next ?

    Thanks Matrix, but here's the story :
    This fellow and his woman are older. Their kids will likely inherit the albums and probably take them right to a shop and sell them without appreciating the work involved in doing this, when that time comes.

    Now the original question is a good one. Let's see who has what on their "WANT" list image

    Well, it will be from the following general groups:

    Capped Bust

    Seated Liberty

    Large Copper

    1/2 cent


    Building a problem free, circulated Type Set......so...one of the above will be in my sights next. image

    Do you know those people....people are NOT all the same!! Some have more respect and more passion...and some do not. Putting people all in the same boat is not having fate in humankind and those of us that do good....or try to at least.

    Matrix, of course I know them and we are friends. And we even know what the kids (who are in their forties) will do with the coins. That's why he sold his california gold collection and currency for tens of thousands of dollars. He said the kids wouldn't appreciate it or know how to sell it. So , he built his collection, offered it to me for several thousand dollars and I could not beat a bidder out of NY.

    But we are friends, only because the other dealers in town weren't as friendly. (boy do i have him fooled )

    My next purchase will be a ten dollar gold indian for a collector who is having me put together a gold type set.
  • vibr0nicvibr0nic Posts: 614 ✭✭✭
    If history is any indication, a colorful Morgan toner.

    My appreciation of $10 Indians is growing, though!
    I like large size currency and silver dollars.

    I have no idea, that's good though as I would get pretty bored if I could just make a list and go buy them as money allowed.

    I love the gold coins as well but to expensive for me at the moment in my life maybe one day I will be able to get a few nice ones or just one really nice one.
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 13,996 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I have a hunch it is going to be an 1878-P 7/8 Tailfeathers Weak VAM 44 Morgan.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • LindeDadLindeDad Posts: 18,766 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I just saw a members listing of a gold coin that I hope we can make a deal on when he gets home from the show.
    Not saying any more as it is rather nice and the wolves hide in the bushes around here.

    Edit to add he got home and says it was a good show and guess what we worked the deal

    My next purchase will be a little while down the road.
    Tuesday we start a complete rebuild of the master bathroom upstairs (way, WAY long over due).

    All my planned coin money for adding a new cc dime from the early 70s is going to improving the reading room.

    It will probably be simple bullion to replace some I had to sell to make a tax payment. image

    The next numismatic purchase will hopefully be a 1700s Heraldic Reverse Dollar.

    Unless I find something earlier for a great deal it will likely be a 1839 Large Cent (or more than one-I need all varities).

    Umm... I seriously doubt that anyone knows which example I'm talking about, and I have no idea which one you're talking about. My likely acquisition will be via private party.

    You mean the Tripled Blossoms and leaves in Liberty's headdress,and the reverse with doubled legs and an extra 5 small tailfeathers. Is that the one you mean?
  • RampageRampage Posts: 9,487 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I've got 8 Morgan dollars on my want list. Might be able to do two a year for several and then one every couple of years for the remainder.


  • Matrix1980Matrix1980 Posts: 553 ✭
    Nice to see everyone has some long term goals!!! If I could land one of those 1793 Strawberry cents that would make my decade or century worth while!!!
  • TinyTiny Posts: 2,598

    Ah let me think on that one. OK I looked at what I am bidding on at eBay and it's
    like a dozen 1879 S Morgans so I will have to say a 1879 S Morgan. image

    Even if it has corrosion?? How much is a coin like that go for and how many exist?
  • mikeygmikeyg Posts: 1,002 ✭





    I'm ready to cross a nice $10 indian off my wish list.I just need to find the right one.I'm looking for a lusterous coin without alot of chatter.
  • ambro51ambro51 Posts: 13,849 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Even if it has corrosion?? How much is a coin like that go for and how many exist? >>

    . I hope you're sitting down. I'm guessing about 40-60k for that piece. About 20 exist but half or better are owned by Bermuda and in Museums. Corrosion exists on at least 75% of all known Somer Islands coinage. This piece last sold in the 1983 Roper Sale Breen gives a good analysis in chemical terms how the silver wash on the brass planchet in high salinity soil will self-corrode. Only a bare few of these coins spent their life "above ground". In 1875 Crosby knew of only one sixpence...

    Very nice story to it!!! There is such a token in Canada I have been trying to locate for about 5 years...one came up but had corrosion and it sold for about 20 000$...there are about 10 known. I think one is in the currency museum here in Canada. It is called the Owen Ropery token from Montreal. It is the #1 token here in Canada. We also have a lot of rare ones the price have been going up like crazy in the last 2 years.
  • ctf_error_coinsctf_error_coins Posts: 15,433 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I honestly do not know.

    Most likely, the next coin I purchase, I don't even know exists as of right now.

    This is one of the main reasons that I love error coin collecting.

    I've got an eye on a w/m SF half eagle that would be the single most expensive coin in my set, should the deal go through.
