My dream coin would be an MS version of my 1916-D. I managed to obtain an AG3. As a kid it was that one and the S VDB. I've learned a lot since then thanks to this forum and PCGS Coinfacts, but the original is still the dream.
This one, for sure...
Nearly all of these high relief coins were melted down a short time later by the US Mint. Only about 10 to 12 High Relief 1922 Proof Peace Dollars are estimated to exist. Or if not as a Lincoholic, it would be the 1955 DDO Wheatie...

I actually found 1916 on the floor in-front of a Coin Star machine, unfortunately it was a Philly, I got very excited for a minute...

This beast. The in hand appeal was incredible, and the history over-the-top.
