What coin(s) are you saving up to buy?

byergo · December 19, 2003 12:15AM

What do you want badly? Is it a certain date/mintmark or is it even more specifically ONE particular coin that you can't live without?

XpipedreamR · December 19, 2003 12:17AM

I just got my "saving up to buy" coin.

1921 Peace dollar.

I don't have a new one yet

1957joe · December 19, 2003 12:20AM

21p and 21d merc.

numobri · December 19, 2003 12:24AM

1798 13 star small eagle Bust dollar,just for starters(already have the 15 star).

CaptainRon · December 19, 2003 12:24AM

A real sharp looking 1870 IHC in AU58 or better, maybe one in an ICG holder to save a few bucks

jbsteven · December 19, 2003 12:25AM

ms68DMPL PCGS Morgan and ms69 PCGS/NGC Morgan

razorface1027 · December 19, 2003 12:27AM

I'm saving up to buy beat up Walkers, Frankies and Washs for the Whitman blue books. In need of a major brake from the graded coinage area...

nwcs · December 19, 2003 12:32AM

For now, none. I've stopped chasing expensive coins.

Blade · December 19, 2003 12:35AM

Jason - You always shoot high!

I've been having fun building the gold part of my type set and got struck with inspiration the other day. Given all the advent of the St Gaudens coins in 1907, I thought it would be fun to build a 1907 date set across all denominations. I don't have any Barbers yet in my type set, and the 1907s are generic dates that won't set me back much. When I'm done, it will be a cool group of MS64+ CNS and MS63+ gold. The high reliefs will set me back, but I'll figure that out later.

Specifically, I will be looking to pick up MS63 1907 $10 Indian and MS63-64 $20 Liberty (PL if I can find one).

puff · December 19, 2003 12:40AM

Any Walker that comes even close to the "undergraded" 1934-S PCGS ms66 that I own in my icon..... You would have to see the coin in person to appreciate it!

LanLord · December 19, 2003 12:47AM

Money for my next coin is going to a trip to New Zealand next year. I am participating in an Eco-Challenge for my company (not the big Eco-Challenge that Marc Burnett puts on).

I will be bringing my family with me, This should just about take care of any purchases for me for about 6 months.

Baley · December 19, 2003 12:50AM

any U.S. silver coin with a date starting with 17- and a small eagle on the reverse.

Veep · December 19, 2003 1:02AM

While I was saving, the price of an AU 1916 SL Quarter just passed me by. I guess I'll have to wait for a little price correction before buying.

jeffnpcb · December 19, 2003 1:08AM

Early half and large cents for a few type sets I've been working on in, I hope, VF-XF that aren't corroded or deep chocolate brown!

JrGMan2004 · December 19, 2003 1:11AM

16-D Merc in AG-3... heh, like that'll happen anytime soon, 6 months saving, minimum, and that's with saving my lunch money and not eating at school... can anyone say, Graduation present? That's how long I'd have to wait/save (May)... and that's with $100 for my birthday, but who knows how much money the grandparents will part with in my direction for graduation =D

CarlWohlforth · December 19, 2003 1:17AM

My goal is to buy 2 coins for my type set next year. I have enough money for 1 of them, maybe even both

I'd like a type 1 trime in MS 64. However I want one that is proof like with frosty devices. I'd also like an 1866 nickel with rays.

DRUNNER · December 19, 2003 1:20AM

Commems. Missouri and Alabama. 64ish. Have had them in lower grades . . . need them to complete the 50-piece. 89-CC Morgan in AU. A few killer toned Morgans.

Colorfulcoins · December 19, 2003 1:32AM

1796 Quarter

Tootawl · December 19, 2003 1:40AM

1912 (mint mark not important) St Gaudens that I'm hoping to get at the Fun show.

cosmos66 · December 19, 2003 1:45AM

1889 Morgan CC

MSD61 · December 19, 2003 1:58AM

I have a few...LOL all Ikes 72-s, 73-S clad, 73-S silver, 76-S silver all proofs. Hey, I know it's not a big deal set of coins but I'm trying to put together a Ike proof set

Striker · December 19, 2003 2:09AM

I'll be looking to add the two $10 gold coins for my Dansco 7070.

cosmicdebris · December 19, 2003 2:15AM

Rick does not know it yet but he is going to sell me this one when he has a 90% off sale.

MFH · December 19, 2003 2:18AM

... After a year of upgrading my SLQ set (s) and missing out on the last one I needed by a mere $250.00 at a Heritage Auction last September, I'm not buying another blessed thing until a really well struck
1927-S in MS-64 to MS-66 becomes available again.

Merc · December 19, 2003 2:40AM

Hi Mike Hayes. A 1927-S SLQ would be nice. Then I also need a 1916. They are both too expensive for me now. I'd have to save for years.

mgoodm3 · December 19, 2003 2:43AM

My problem is that I love them all. Any beautiful coin that catches my eye is the flavor of the week. I'm really liking 1800's proofs for the moment.

Cladiator · December 19, 2003 2:51AM

1934S PCGS MS64 Peace Dollar

ellewood · December 19, 2003 3:05AM

1909-S VDB Fine or better!

Lakesammman · December 19, 2003 3:18AM

A better ?? for me might be, what are you selling so you can buy

AND I'M NOT TELLING WHAT I'M GOING TO BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mercurynut · December 19, 2003 3:33AM

A 1936 prrof 67 mercury dime PCGS of course.....

morganbarber · December 19, 2003 4:15AM

1893-O Morgan. Not cheap in any grade. I'm not sure how long I will save to get how nice a piece.

Myriads · December 19, 2003 5:22AM

With the savings pot emptied to get the 1912-S Liberty Nickel that the Post office is hiding from me right now, the long term savings fund will now start to build toward getting enough to make a run at a Proof 1877 Three Cent Nickel. Short term savings will be directed at the last three Lib Nicks I need to finish the Nickel set.

Myriads

DAM · December 19, 2003 5:25AM

Some day I'd like to own a 1794 Dollar in VF-XF, probably VF, and a Chain Cent in XF.

jacktheknife · December 19, 2003 5:27AM

I'm saving to buy the coin in the thread "Looney Lincolns" (about 1/3 down the page), but sshhhh.....keep it quiet.

BillJones · December 19, 2003 5:42AM

I'd like to find an 1813 half eagle to go with the 1811 I just purchased.

SeattleSlammer · December 19, 2003 7:13AM

I am saving to buy a coin but I won't know which coin that is until it smacks me in the face at the March ANA show in Portland....

...that's how it usually works.

JxnBoy · December 19, 2003 7:19AM

Three coins; 1918/7 S, 1916, and 1927-S SLQs in AU or better. I know I can never afford a FH coin, but head detail is important. So I'll be looking for a while, but saving even longer...

jcping · December 19, 2003 7:22AM

1796-97 half (EF and better)
1796 quarter (AU and better)

ksteelheader · December 19, 2003 7:25AM

1998 Kennedy Matte Proof set....Ken

Shoedog · December 19, 2003 10:25AM

Draped bust large cent for my Dansco US type album.Hopefully a solid XF piece.It will be my most expensive purchase by far so I am enjoying studying up for it.Joined EAC (something I have always wanted to do) and just ordered the Superior Robinson Brown auction catalog which I understand is a great reference on the subject.
That large cent row in the Dansco is not going to be cheap to fill!
Happy holidays.

Louis · December 19, 2003 10:31AM

Pan Pac $2.50

mozeppa · December 19, 2003 10:34AM

1909 vdb matte proof in 64 rd/brn pcgs (willing to make time payments)

Aethelred · December 19, 2003 11:19AM

I have the money, I just need to find the coin. I am looking for a British Spade Guinea (1786-1799).

SDSportsFan · December 19, 2003 11:32AM

I'm currently saving up for an 1893s Morgan Dollar in VF-XF. It's the last one I need to finish my circulation-strike set. I'm also saving up for an 1877 Indian Head Cent in VF-XF.

Steve

mojorizn · December 19, 2003 11:51AM

MS63RD 1909-S Lincoln for the Whitman album.

Mojo

BAJJERFAN · December 19, 2003 11:52AM

Maybe a nice 1903-S Morgan in mint state since they seem to be easier to find than a nice AU.

jdimmick · December 19, 2003 2:16PM

I have one in mind, but am not posting openly for fear of biddin competition.

You folks commenting on the 16 SLQ, you best not wait around for a price correction, cause it inst going to be corrected downward, its going farther up in the short term. I predict another 25% price increse on the 16 SLQ in next 6 months. I would like to have upgraded mine, but prices are still tradin way way over sheet levelsl, even after the monster jumps. Not only that, but there are several un appealing 16 SLQ floating around, but are still managing to sell at super high prices!

I know of two mintstate 16's that were just sold to a dealer for 3k over sheet levels! (one was a 63 the other a 65)

Sphinx357 · December 19, 2003 2:28PM

1885 Liberty Nickel

quarterjack · December 19, 2003 2:48PM

It's on a" need to know" basis. TEE HEE.

airplanenut · December 19, 2003 2:56PM

Toned proof IHC... have one on approval that I'm 98% sure about

islemangu · December 19, 2003 9:14PM
