What DARKSIDE coin would you like to own, but presently don't?

SergeantYork

I saw this thread on the U.S. forum, but wondered the same thing for darkside coins.

As for my Farthing collection, aside from the popular key dates, I would like to find a decent example from 1698 (date in exergue). They just don't appear very often.

Anyone else?

Problem free EF or better pillar dollar.

Choice example of an 1841 Mohur:

STLNATS

UK Gothic crown or a Brunswick flying horse 3+ taler. A tad pricy to buy on whimsy and they don't fit into my current interests. Rats!

Even though I prefer ancients, I myself want a pillar dollar too.

worldcoinguy

I will follow in the footsteps of STLNATS, one of the huge 3, 4, or 5 talers from Brunswick would be at the top of my list. I would also love to add a sede vacante piece from Trier someday but those are also tough to come across and might require an arm and a leg to pay for it.
Trier 1/2 taler

Brent:

You should have come to CICF, I got to carry in a 10, 5 and 4 taler. Steve bought them in to show to a old collector who also had a 10 taler with him...that would have made 2 out of the known (6 known) 10 talers in the world of Brunswick

Sorry for the previous blank post - had trouble uploading a picture!

I don't collect many gold coins - the metal is just too expensive - but the coin I have lusted for for over 20 years is the British 5 pound Una and the Lion pattern. Probably would be in the $40-50K range today...

But I have uploaded several photos to my "virtual" coin collection, so I have the next best thing.

A 1911 Canadian silver $1

coachbedford

Any Saxon SILVER penny of England, c. 770 to 970 A.D

mkman123

Well I would like to get a nice graded PCGS or NGC 8 reales and a Gothic Florin as I like the design. I believe some member also posted a pic of a bird of paradise coin or something like that, really neat

I especially want portrait pieces, in aEF or better, of Offa, Alfred, and Harold II. The earlier pieces, pre-unification, can be very tough to get.

I also want the taler from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in aEF or better.

olmanjon

A nice Goetz medal

I doubt I could limit it to one...

The Una and the Lion gets my wish list also.

NY Giants, are the 1911 dollars legal?
I believe there are only 2, maybe 3 known. ( plus the 2 I have.......lolololo)

johnny9434

A 1921 Canadian half dollar. The second would be a 1948 Canadian dollar, life is good

Pokermandude

I haven't discovered my next lust coin yet. The big show is next weekend, I am sure I'll find some and buy a few there

rwyarmch

An uncirculated 1822 Lesslie & Sons twopence of Upper Canada (The one that appeared on the cover of Charlton's catalogue would be just fine!)

YQQ

1921 Canada 50 cent piece in MS 64 or better

Zohar

EVillageProwler

Zohar - is that what I think it is? Is it yours? Grade?

SYRACUSIAN

The Greek 1876-A 100 drs in gold (mintage 72)




The example above was the coin of the Millenium collection, perhaps the finest known example, an NGC PF64. It realized above $220K, but a nice choice unc can be bought with one third of that amount.

It is the only coin that's missing from my 1876-A 5 coin set.











A close second, and much more affordable, would be the Swiss 1925 100 francs in stmpl.

MacCrimmon

An 1845 halfpenny in fully original flaming red gem uncirculated condition......say, PCGS MS66+ RD

Zohar

EVP - one day !

pmac

Central American Republic 8R in XF. They come up in auction occasionally and I just don't have the funds at the time to take a realistic stab. They seem to go for $100-$200 over the Krause value.

960Coins

960 Reis struck over a 179* US Dollar.

Senex

One of those Saudi golds coin struck at the Philadelphia mint.
A Gothic florin in XF would be nice too!

WorldTypeSet

I could use a couple more early Talers or another Anglo Saxon Penny.

I'll see your 1921 Canadian half and 1948 silver dollar and raise you an 1870 No LCW half!

Georgio,
I think your bet would not be a winning hand....
just my opinion..
Now, had you said a 1889 10 cent and a 1916C sovereign.....
that hand would be a absolute winner.. unbeatable..(in CAN currency)

olmanjon

A nice gold Newfie.

tydye

An 8 Reale from Central America

Ricke

Netherlands late 18th century 10 stuiver in gold strike... I'd be willing to settle for any provincial issue - it's not like I'm greedy.

Wow, some nice choices. I would definitely be down to own a Victoria Gothic Crown, the 1841 Mohur (both would fit into my minor collections of both Britain and British India under Victoria like gold plating on a Yugo, but who cares, I'll make a spot in a red box for it) as well as the Caesar silver piece.

Since we are talking about fantasy land here, then I might as well go big: I'd like to own the entire series of Platinum coinage under Nicholas I of Russia.

But actually, I love large sized Russian copper, so I would have to give my overall vote for just one coin to the 1796 10K Novodel with the Imperial eagle on the obverse with ten stars. I saw one at a casino once and an older gentleman was using it as a card protector, with no protection for it whatsoever. I nearly had a heart attack. Praying that it was a fake or cheap copy, too quick (and awkward) to ask or see clearly, but I knew for sure what it was at once glance.
