It was listed for years in "The Red Book" with a mintage of 4 and an "Unknown" lebel. As it turned out the mintage was a misinterpretation of the mint records. The issue never existed.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I can probably get you an 1841-CC as soon as the epidemic is over in China.

Yes, or any "pioneer" $3.
The $3 denomination was never used much in commerce and so that is why no pioneer mint made any.
But if I were to make one it would be a Clark Gruber, of course.

Successful BST deals with mustangt and jesbroken. Now EVERYTHING is for sale.
How about a n 1836 Republic Of Texas Dollar?, It could be a series from 1836 to 1845, when it was independent.
Then an 1861 Succession Dollar when Texas tried to succeed from the Union.
@dcarr Can this happen?, It would be a nice series, and they would sell well.

1854-C Type II gold dollar.
It was listed for years in "The Red Book" with a mintage of 4 and an "Unknown" lebel. As it turned out the mintage was a misinterpretation of the mint records. The issue never existed.
My top desires:
1837 dollar
1848 CAL double eagle
1841-O Half Eagle
Barber Double Eagle

1964- D Peace Dollar
1964 Morgan Dollar
A 1964 Franklin over struck on one of the above or over a generic 64 Kennedy.
I’d prefer the Kennedy over 64 Franklin.

It also sounds more realistic in terms of possible existence.
Matte proof 1794 dollar or 1795 eagle would be pretty cool.
An attractive Gobrecht Dollar that I could afford.

"Sou Mangueira......."
Not necessarily my "ultimate", but one that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread (or anywhere else, ever):
1859 "COL" Quarter Eagle.
.
A Clark Gruber $3!
So, the ultimate Class III doubled die?

Well . . . . . . . .the 1964-D Peace, the ultimate 'fantasy' coin.
Hmmmmmm . . . . wait.
Both of the owners now would object violently to the calling of their piece a 'fantasy' coin . . . . . guaranteed.

Maybe a Liberty Cap Half Cent weakly struck on a Gloucester Courthouse Token.
Otherwise, maybe an 1893-S DMPL.

Why a sad smile? Isn't it nice when wishes are granted?
Not that exotic, but I would like to have an 1895-P Morgan Dollar business strike.
