Still Out There, What Would You Like To Find?

1Bufffan · February 15, 2019 8:29AM

Texas Collector finds rare JR-10 1829 capped bust dime, with curled base 2 in a bulk lot of dimes purchased off of E-Bay and a Canadian collector finds a 1798 Draped Bust cent Sheldon NC-2. They are still out there what would you "Love" to find?

jabba · February 15, 2019 8:33AM

1955 DDO would make me happy

SanctionII · February 15, 2019 8:43AM

1956 DCAM Type 1 Proof 69 Franklin half dollar in an OGP set that I purchase for bid.

Meltdown · February 15, 2019 9:37AM

I'm still hoping for a 42 over 1 mercury dime... also a scarface Morgan vam would be cool.

mannie gray · February 15, 2019 10:20AM

There are several I would enjoy finding.
These have so far eluded me:
1970-S Proof Lincoln DDO die 3
1970-S Proof Lincoln TDO die 7
1972 Lincoln Cent DDO die 4 ( although I found one in the mid 1980s in high grade circ. but sold it too cheaply not knowing how rare it was)
1963-D Lincoln Cent DDO Die 1
(Not tough but I just have not picked one yet)

1983 copper 1c

....and I still think a 1970-S 1c business strike may exist with large/small date, although by now the vast majority of surviving unc. 70-S coins have likely been searched)

Insider2 · February 15, 2019 10:35AM

1870-S Half dime or 1870-S $3!

JasonGaming · February 15, 2019 12:54PM

1840-O Quarter Drapery Large O.

johnny9434 · February 15, 2019 12:57PM

a 1909 s vdb cent. you never know

privatecoin · February 15, 2019 1:39PM

1943 copper Lincoln.

Mdcoincollector2003 · February 15, 2019 1:40PM

A couple cans of gold coins in the woods worth 11 million dollars. Sell some privately and keep the rest in my collection.

BillDugan1959 · February 15, 2019 1:41PM

Saddle Ridge Hoard #2.

I met a very personable young man at a coin show many years ago who had a few binder pages filled of 42 and '42-D overdates. I asked him how he found so many and he just said he looked through a lot of dimes. I can't imagine searching so many since I've looked through thousands and never found one. It's a tough job looking too since there are so many '42's and a few '43 and '45's can be mistaken for them.

yspsales · February 15, 2019 1:48PM

Not too picky...

Any of the big 14. something VAM's in 1878 8TF

Finding a raw 1939d Buffalo that will grade MS68

I think finding these in the wild are certainly still achievable.

DBSTrader2 · February 15, 2019 2:57PM

All the coins (circulated condition is ok) I still need to fill all the holes in my blue Whitman folders................

Aspie_Rocco · February 15, 2019 3:04PM

1943 P ddo Nickel FS103
1946 S ddo Nickel FS101
1946 ddr Nickel FS801
1958 d/d nickel FS501
1964 d/d nickel FS501
1990 S ddo Nickel FS101

Timbuk3 · February 15, 2019 4:50PM

Hey, I'm not particular !!!

1Bufffan · February 15, 2019 5:05PM

Mine would have to be just one of either a 16 overdate or a 18 over 17 Buff, but has anyone every seen a digit under the 7 on a 1917-D buffalo? Just wondering because there is! Take a extra close look at your coins, you may be surprised, but remember who told you...

Smudge · February 15, 2019 6:39PM

A gold coin with my metal detector. Found some silver, but never any gold other than jewelry and very little of that.

koynekwest · February 15, 2019 6:59PM

1916 doubled die Buff. I've cherried all the major varieties in the series except that one and the 1915 DDO-001.

ilikemonsters · February 15, 2019 7:01PM

Still hoping I can find a plain obverse quint in circulation. Will you be releasing it into circulation any time soon? @Regulated

Regulated · February 15, 2019 7:28PM

The problem with unique coins is that once they're found, that's all we get...

edited to add: there could be a copper 8-Unit Nova Constellatio pattern somewhere, as there were plans to make the denomination.

Regulated · February 15, 2019 7:44PM

There's a very real chance that a $100 (or higher denomination) Lettered Edge Humbert slug exists somewhere - it would look like a regular slug from the front, but would be twice as thick, and would be stamped 100.

Imagine digging up one of those!

cupronik · February 15, 2019 9:25PM

1969-S DDO Lincoln Cent.
Obviously any example would do, but to find a fresh red BU one in the middle of an original roll would be even better!

sparky64 · February 15, 2019 9:36PM

I'll lower the bar and would like to find a Cheerios Sac $1 in the wild.

Nysoto · February 15, 2019 9:58PM

I think there is another 1795 half dollar die marriage out there somewhere. None have been discovered since Beistle's 1929 book on half dollars.

I love that coin!

AstroJoe · February 15, 2019 10:38PM

1901-S Barber Quarter would be great.
But just in case I don't find one, I trying to save up for one.

dogwood · February 15, 2019 10:52PM

A trio of gem BU 1860-s Quarters in the bottom dust shelf of an Empire dresser purchased at a flea market for $200.
That’d do it.

ifthevamzarockin · February 15, 2019 10:53PM

A nice MS Hotlips out of a fresh roll would work.

BryceM · February 15, 2019 10:56PM

I suppose cherry-picking a high-relief 1922 Peace dollar would be pretty nice.

HoledandCreative · February 15, 2019 11:15PM

1822 10¢ VG or+ Details Holed where ever it is.

Paradisefound · February 15, 2019 11:19PM

55/55 DDO would definitely make my day ..... but I don't do roll or bulk sorting so slim to nothing chance

SkyMan · February 15, 2019 11:30PM

There's find, and then there's find at face value in change.

Of the former, in the realm of something I might afford, a nice Cameo Proof 1937 Buffalo.

Of the latter, the only ones that seem to have some potential for actually finding are some of the Lincoln Memorial DDO/DDR or the 1992 close AM.

scodal · February 15, 2019 11:38PM

A circulated 1894-S Barber dime. Would love to have a completely complete set. I believe there’s still at least one somewhere out there in the wild, waiting in a jar or an old cigar box. In any event, there’s a higher likelihood of that than there is of me ponying up $2M the next time one comes up for auction.

OKbustchaser · February 18, 2019 3:12PM

Any of the 3 1827 bust half die marriages that I still need...137, 148, or 149.

ricko · February 19, 2019 9:41AM

I would like to find the '55 DDO cent and the 1919 DDO dime
....I look for those two all the time.... One never knows what could turn up in change, at a yard sale, an antique shop or a flea market. Cheers, RickO

ChopmarkedTrades · February 19, 2019 9:49AM

1875-P Trade Dollar with a Chop. 78-CC is also key but is commonly known as the key of the series and would never be cheap. The 75-P is just as, if not more, rare with a chop, but is not commonly considered a particularly desirable date in the series to those that don't collect Trades. Maybe someday.

PTVETTER · February 19, 2019 9:52AM

1933 Saint!

Those would be nice but I’m looking for the O150.

Boring. Why not go straight for the quarter???

MrEureka · February 19, 2019 3:53PM

One of the cool things about the coins I collect is that there are at least a dozen unknown to R-8 coins that I've never had the opportunity to buy. I know that some of them will come up at some point, and I know they won't be impossibly expensive to buy. It's just a matter of staying focused and staying alive.

A decent 1837 No stars dime without problems.

ditto for me.
