What coins should exist but don't ??

Among patterns there are many 'complete sets' of all or most denominations struck with the same pattern design. The more famous are the Amazonians and Wash-ladies, plus some Indian Princess and Standard Silver series in different metals.
Another set that should have been made is the 1877 Sailor Head set in silver. About 8 or 10 of each of the dime, quarter, half and dollar in copper exist today; while only one or two each of the quarter and half are known in silver. It is logical that the mint struck 8 or 10 sets in copper; and maybe two sets in silver. But no appearance or even rumor of the dime or dollar is recorded. So where is a dime or dollar in silver??
If anyone knows where they are please let me know.

That would push coins immediately back into relavence.
At the very least, Philadelphia Proofs of each date for collectors.

Morgan silver dollars from every Mint facility in operation from 1905 - 1920.
At the very least, Philadelphia Proofs of each date for collectors.
This was the one I thought of.
That building was made entirely of wood. *doh!*

Also 1801 quarter eagles.
without knowing, but assuming this is based on Mint records and the existence of an overdate, it makes no sense that they SHOULD exist. it is well known that Mint records are unreliable and although the die(s) may have been engraved for one date that doesn't mean that they ever struck any coins with other dies engraved with that date.
the even simpler explanation could be this --- the Mint never intended to strike either of the coins in question, the engraver just used the wrong punch and then corrected himself.

Cents full set of cents from 1930 - 1934. It would have "broken" the magic "pre-1934" are more valuable.

1873-S Seated dollar --- reported mintage--500
1870-S quarter -- reported mintage-0- but there could be one in the cornerstone of the San Francisco mint
1827/3 quarter-circulation strike -reported mintage-4000-only a few proofs exist
Modern $10, $5, $2, and $1 coins should exist and the 0.01 and 0.05 shouldn't. Currency should run from $20 to $1000.
That would push coins immediately back into relavence.
Amen.
1976 Quarter
I'd rather see a 1975 quarter.

Indeed!
The government is simply trying to eliminate cash and coins by making them a nuisance or at best irrelevant. This suppresses the economy in myriad ways but it especially harms the vending and tourist industries. In this country tourists were once irrelevant because it was too expensive for most of the world to visit but really bad decisions as exemplefied by maintaing the penny has made it possible for more people from more countries to visit.
Maybe we can tax,spend, and waste to the point that we can get visitors from third world countries.
Please note the 'uncirculated"
This coin almost has to exist somewhere. Stuck in a drawer in a desk somewhere in New England.
If I had the money, I would spend some on advertising and see if one could be shook loose.
