If I had a Pan-Pac $50, either round or octaganal, I think that would do it. But, the the South Carolina lottery would play a major part in my ever owning such a coin.

I do. I still have all the 1943 Lincolns from my Dad. He is gone now. These are cool because they remind me of him more than other things now gone. Expensive. There is no price on something that is priceless. No one could replace any of them. No one could buy any of them for any price. I remember when I was a little kid and thought those really pennies looked so weird and cool. My Dad must have really gone out of his way to accumulate those for me. I ended up with 26 rolls of them. Each coin is a momento of my Dad. They are the most expesive, coolest, greatest coins in the world.

My vote would go for whoever owns the 1870-S $3.00 gold piece or the Judd1776 pattern piece or one of the 1822 or 1825/4 Half Eagles.
I think we have enough pissing contests around here. All we need is another "my coin is better than your coin" thread to argue over.

Since it's part of the Smithsonian collection, we all have a partial interest in it. TRUE!
but leave room for the morgan collectors to top this.
I think it's not owned by the public.

Interest, yes, but no ownership rights whatsoever.

an undivided 1/275,000,000 interest and you can look at it but not take any.
