At the coin show in Schnecksville PA today I found one of the two biggest wants for my PCGS type set, a twenty cent piece in a clean AU grade! Now, if I can only find an MS67 1964 Kennedy

Congrats! White whales are what make this hobby great! 😎
Is it okay to talk about our “white whales”?
My big one’s gonna be the ‘93 Lib Cap cent in problem free VF, or even more problem free fine. I saw a Fine-12 at EAC that I would love to buy. It’s not for sale 🥺
For a while the “flat date” or “straight date” version of the 1794 cent was one. Only two varieties are obtainable: the S-17a, and the S-20b. Both in the R-4 camp. Both heads of ‘93. I recently acquired a nice 20-b with great color in EAC F/VF and I’m stoked!
Also for a while I was having trouble finding a nice Petite Head cent for type. That’s done after like 2 years searching so phew! 😮💨 BUT, what I really want is the 1839, head of ‘40 so I can complete my “5 heads of 1839” set. May not get that one in gem. The last 65 I saw was sub-par and too expensive and it still walked away as soon as I turned my back!
And I don’t know if this counts but after nearly a decade I did manage to replace my 1859 cent in proof 66CAM. Tough coin, only 10 available at PCGS and was nearly unfindable until recently. Right after I found one, another popped up. Hmm 🤨
