I want a gold Norse. I could afford a gold Norse. I won't buy a gold Norse because the thought of putting $30k into my safe makes my skin crawl. But, of course, that doesn't answer the OP'S question which is why I didn't offer an answer.
In fact, if i won a gold Norse for free, I'd likely sell it because putting $30k into my safe makes my skin crawl.

Yes, I know what I said. I'm just not sure why you're questioning its validity. There should be no doubt that it is 100% true and 100% valid

I’d love to be able to find and purchase an appealing 1909-O Barber quarter with original surfaces in XF/AU.

Historically the 1909-O Barber quarter has been considered a key date and is the 4th most expensive Barber quarter. While the 1909-0 is scarce in XF/AU it is more available in the MS grades.

1909-O has a total of 6 graded AU58 and 58 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $4,750.00
Compare the 1909-O to the following Barbers.
1901-O has a total of 8 graded AU58 and 42 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $3,250.00
1899-S has a total of 24 graded AU58 and 44 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $1,300.00
1898-S has a total of 20 graded AU58 and 46 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $1,100.00
1896-O has a total of 25 graded AU58 and 47 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $1,500.00
1898-O has a total of 36 graded AU58 and 58 Graded in MS grades. The PCGS price guide is $1,150.00
The vast majority of coin collectors don't pay more than face value for a coin. That's your first hurdle, going beyond pocket change.
The second hurdle is probably anything above $100, then $500, then $1000. If you've gotten past the $1000 mark it's really just about how much disposable income you have. You're probably a fairly serious collector.
To reach the echelons of truly advanced (I'm not talking about "investor" those are different people,) I would consider those in the five figure or more, "you can only usually find them at auction" stage.
If you're buying an 1909-S VDB, in most cases, you're not an average or advanced collector, but I consider you an accomplished collector who probably just turned the corner to some level of intermediate. It's probably the highest level that 80% of coin collectors will ever reach.

I'm not exactly sure why you're questioning MY preference.

I'd say the 09-S VDB as it seems the most recognized to even non-collectors when mentioning coins in general.
