    Komsco, can and do hoard

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    Very interesting. It's not an easy coin but is a remarkably easy date.

    I have accumulated 9, 1913-S low grade Barber Dimes. Many years ago, I noticed that I rarely saw them at small coin shows that I went to. I also noticed that they were low mintage. When I found them, I would pick up the raw ones back then for around $16.00 each.

    Many years ago, I also noticed decent 1959 Mint Sets seemed hard to find. I have 6 sets that I accumulated when I found them with decent coins and envelopes.

    I accumulated four low grade 1838-O Seated Liberty Dimes, after reading that this was the first coins struck at the New Orleans Mint.

    And I have 50, 1932 Washington Quarters.

    My list could go on and on. :)

    I used to have a Flying Eagle Cent with Unc details, but I had to sell it several years ago when I needed some cash. Here is my best Flying Eagle Cent right now, I know this isn't as nice as some of the other coins being shared here but I thought I'd post anyway:

    In the 1990's I gave a great deal of thought to buying as many Carson City Trade Dollars as I could afford. In the end I only purchased a few different dates. In part because I do not tend to look at coins as a money making venture, (probably should have). I am a hobby guy, I made a lot of money running my business. I am not averse to getting rich but Hoarding coins does not strike me as a fun pursuit. I have been wrong many times in my life. This is probably just another example. James

    A dealer friend on the national circuit has been hoarding ‘13S dimes for years. No idea how many he has now, but at one point he had over a dozen ROLLS of them.

    I once started hoarding 1830 large cents in better grades, after having trouble finding one. Amazed how many then started coming out of the proverbial woodwork Lol!

    There are some under appreciated sleepers among major Redbook large cent varieties. The wreath cent and 1795 cent with the lettered edge are far scarcer than their counterparts, but have little premium.
    The 1817 N16, with the 15 stars, above XF is also scarce, and almost unknown in mint state. These all fascinate me, but at this point I’m content to just have 1-2 decent examples of each.

    1921 peace dollars

    I just bought my 4th 1921 in VF (or so). I love the high relief design and it's fun to carry one around as a pocket piece. They're super hard to find in circulated grades without problems. Most are damaged and/or cleaned.

    The same coins I mostly buy now, Bolivia and Peru pillars except the 8R. I currently own 63 Peru minors and 14 Bolivia in NGC and PCGS holders. Also more not graded. Own many date/MM in duplicate, though none in large numbers.

    I have a roll of 1934 doubled die peace dollars that I assembled back in the day to try and develop a die progression between the the two different mint mark Reverses. I finished my study concluding that the large filled D came first including a batch of Non-doubled Obv, then lived out its with the DDO before going to the small D which had a very small run with the DDO as observed with various die cracks and detail loss. Before being swapped out to a new Non-DDO Obv which also lived a long life paired to the small d rev.

    That said nobody but me really cared but I spent so long looking at those buggers I just put them back away. I’ll let a descendant pull them out in 100 years and see if anybody cares

    Almost got a grading set counting the AUs and UNCs I have in my main set. The holders represent a very early 2000-2010 time frame. Found many of them raw and this represents an actual decent percentage of the known population. Maybe about 10%

    I have a few of these too

    I also have roll of gem to superb gem filipino 50 Cent pieces from WW2. These are the two rolls of coins I am in right and can just put away forever, not counting bullion based rolls. I think/hope time will be kind

    Chain cents. According to NGC, "probably no more than 1,500 to 2,000 Chain cents may actually survive today. " A super rich guy could gobble up a good percentage of those. Say $10K each on average, so w/ $15 million or so you could start to corner the market.

    Or on second thought, nah, it's just kind of a d*ck move.

    Very interesting.

    Does the appearance of the mirrored fields and frosted devices on your previously owned PF66DCAM nickel scream "DCAM!!!!!!!!!!" on both sides when you first look at the coin in hand? (Leaving no doubt in one's mind that the quality of the coin is far and away above the quality of a 1957 CAM nickel; instead of one questioning whether the coin is really of CAM quality that received a gift DCAM designation).

    I would probably go for a reasonably accessible to me 1804 draped bust half cent to garner as many die sets as possible.

    I can think of 2 seated liberty varieties the first being 1841-0 closed bud reverse large and small 0 and 1840 no drapery large 0 reverse quarters. I own closed bud large and small 0 dimes one in a pcgs ag3 holder the other raw G purchased for under $500 from Brian Greer. Also purchased a VG large 0 quarter from Brian Greer for around $1,000. All 3 coins are very rare and you could purchase most known specimens for chump change compared to other over priced key date coins.

    "If you could..." implies has not happened yet, which means my Ike hoard doesn't count. So, instead, I'll opt for CC silver dollars as my "If You Could Hoard Any Denomination/Date/Mint..."...sorta affordable if circulated culls.
