If You Could Hoard Any Denomination/Date/Mint.....

What would it be? The only rule is it must be within the realm of affordability for you, that you could really hoard it if you wanted. Since I collect seated quarters, I would probably pick 1838 or 1876-cc.

Yep, definitely, the Morgan CC's.

Please only remember my opening Sig Line.The closest I can come to “hoarding” anything is a Franklin mint issue of my hometown. I bet I already have more original intact (in packaging) samples than anyone else. Of US coins there’s no hope of having any meaningful hoard for the vast majority of people.

I would hoard 1814 O-105a Single Leafs. That particular variety is an R-4 so it is possible with patience and time to acquire a significant amount of coins. Problem free and eye appealing examples are even harder to come by, so hoarding choice single leafs would be even easier.

I'd be like my hero @drddm and hoard 1814 O-108 E/A's. I'd even make one into a ring!

If I told you it wouldn't be a secret any longer...
Something within reason and affordable. Actually found for face value. I'll go with W quarters.

Already did, decades ago. 1848 LARGE DATE half dimes. They cost anywhere from $2. to $15. each. Ended up with 45 coins. Ran out of steam when I couldn't find them often enough. Sold the worst 40 coins for $1000. Kept the best 5 coins for a decade and sold them for $4500.
Right now I'd like to hoard a certain foreign crown in top grade, but they are elusive.
I was wondering why they were so hard to find back then....
2 questions:
1. What % of the coins you looked at were labelled Large Date but were the normal date?
2. Did you ever have one with the reverse die crack(s)?
1840 Small/Large 18 Large Cent. I have one that has VF detail but died on the table when I player coin doctor on it. They go for way over price guide when straight graded. Sometimes you can pick up a raw one unattributed. This is going to be the last hole filled in one of my sets.....I probably will use the details one when I get frustrated after looking for a year or two.
Definitely 1861 O CSA halves. I love them!!

Some were mislabeled, certainly. I don't have a feeling for %. I'm sure there were several with the crack, judging by the fact that there are two of them on Ebay right now. But I don't remember mine - it was forty years ago.
Define hoard?
I'd rather have one of everything.
Don't know if it would qualify as hoarding or not but I would buy every 1958 Ghana 10 Shilling I found if the price was within reason. They were 92.5% silver and I liked the way the star on the reverse looked. I ended up with about 50 of them before I sold them all during the silver run up in 2011.

The only problem is, I can’t afford them.

$20 gold double eagles. Date/type don’t matter.
My current registry sets:
20th Century Type Set
Virtual DANSCO 7070
Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
Wasn’t the criteria that you COULD afford them?
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.

At one point in time I had a nice hoard of 1911 $2 1/2 Indians. I bought and sold Indians all the time, and could never bring myself to sell any 1911s for fear I’d accidentally sell a weak D. I actually cherry picked 3 weak Ds from the group.

1905-O Micro-o Barber dime.
Later, Paul.
I've always had a fascination with the idea of a tube of 1822 dimes. In reality though, I'd probably hoard 1906S double eagles.

1894-S....dime

1921 peace dollars
Scrooge McDuck tried that. It didn't work.
I never thought much about hoarding coins, but I would hoard1955 DDO Lincoln cents or 1914-D Lincolns.
I met a dealer at a Baltimore show that had a roll of lower grade 1901-S barber quarters-worth about $1000 each at the time. Today that roll is easily worth about 1/2 Million dollars!
Considering really nice ones are so hard to find, I would probably say 1879-O Double Eagles. You might say those are so expensive, it would be a totally impracticable issue. But I said nice, and that qualifier really whittles them down to a very, very small number. Check the CAC POPs and consider not all of those qualifies as particularly nice, to me!👍
1891 seated liberty dimes. Inexpensive, and it would make a cool looking pile of raw coins.
1909-O Dimes, Quarters and Halves.
1842 $2.50 and 1867 $2.50 - little noticed but surprisingly scarce $2.50's.

uncirculated 1983 rolls
I would hoard 1804 Half Cents. There are 13 varieties and dies states galore! It's a collection unto itself.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
1878 Proof Morgans- patterns, 8TF, 7TF, 78/Rev 79, 78-S….
What's argument for hoarding them? They are already an extremely expensive variety?

Probably Morgan and Peace dollars then buy a slot machine
1827 half dollars???
Nah, No one would do that.
I just think its a neat little variety. Just like the 1945-S Micro-s Merc.
Later, Paul.
1886-s dimes! Try to find one.
a collection of PO01 coins, any denomination.
1866-s ?
1957DCAM Proof nickels.
Both of them.
