Name a coin that you would like to see come to market...

MrEureka · October 22, 2006 9:46AM

...not so much because you want to buy it, but because you would just plain like to see it.

I'd like to see the likely-to-exist privately held 1849 $20.

mrearlygold · October 22, 2006 9:55AM

Higley, I cut my way thru variety with a hole in it. I think it was part of the Steinberg collection.

I'm still smarting over missing it. Remember the write up? They speculated the hole was done by an Indian who wore it, because the pick ax closely resembled a tomahawk? Sold for a little over 4 grand INCLUDING the juice if I recall correctly.

I was so lazy and missed it. Grrrrrr.

Dahlonega · October 22, 2006 10:00AM

1854-S G$5
and/or one of the Dahlonega silver bars purported to have been cast during the Civil War (some evidence exists these were made???)

Julio · October 22, 2006 10:04AM

1841-O half eagle

LincolnCentMan · October 22, 2006 11:01AM

The finest known Chain Cent. 66BN?

Twelve bags of 1895 mint state biz strike morgan dollars.

fcloud · October 22, 2006 11:06AM

1894-S Dime. I love the story that goes along with it.

roadrunner · October 22, 2006 11:10AM

Atwwater 1842-0 quarter in Gem Unc. Last saw it in 1976 or so.
Would be neat to see it again. Same goes for a few other "oldies" from my past that I have not seen in ages.

And can you believe the Forum "bad word" judges wouldn't even allow me to spell the pedigree right. Sheesh.

Michigan · October 22, 2006 11:10AM

One of the 1822 half eagles in the Smithsonian. They have two and don't really need more than one.

coinlieutenant · October 22, 2006 11:16AM

1872 Eagle...the Starr specimen.

pharmer · October 22, 2006 11:19AM

1943d/d 1c rpm-8. CONECA says it exists, but have never seen one offered.

1961 proof ddr, the biggie.

1958 ddo-1

1995d 1c ddo-3, more dramatic and MUCH more rare than 1995p ddo-1.

Or just some candy will do.

Thank you Santa

DCAM · October 22, 2006 11:20AM

2006 P cent, very rare around here. ;-)

rays · October 22, 2006 11:21AM

The Eliasberg 1796 Half cent, MS65RB, no pole. Bought by Spectrum in 1996, never to be seen again.

777 · October 22, 2006 11:33AM

The lone 1892 and or 1893 CC GSA dollar which one of each exists

WoodenJefferson · October 22, 2006 12:00PM

Any $4 gold Stella. A portion of the original mintage ended up in the hands of some of Washington, D.C.'s more prominent madams. These same coins had been given by the Mint Bureau to members of Congress.

BigE2 · October 22, 2006 12:00PM

An Unc Strawberry Leaf Large cent

I think that you mean half eagle, and good luck on it being both nice and affordable.

And can you believe the Forum "bad word" judges wouldn't even allow me to spell the pedigree right. Sheesh.

Yes, I dealt with this recently when I purchased an At-water half eagle!

As for my choices for coins to see come to market, I would like to see once again the Bass-Eliasberg 1859-D Large D $5 AU-58, last sold at the FUN 2004 sale as part of the Green Pond collection. Next time, I will take a swing at it.

I would also like to see the the one of three Dahlonega $5's from the SSCA that is not currently in the hands of collecting friends come to market.

mozeppa · October 22, 2006 12:47PM

for Pharmer: ....and i have the 95-d dd0-003...just no pix

Elcontador · October 22, 2006 12:50PM

Any reasonably priced, properly graded MS 65 Barber Half in a PC holder. I'll buy it.

Sunnywood · October 22, 2006 12:54PM

In addition to some of my favorites already cited, I'd like to see the J-1776 pattern, and the absolutely no-questions gem uncirculated mint state 1895 dollar that John Ford claimed to have examined at the 1961 ANA. It would also be fabulous if a well-struck uncirculated strawberry leaf cent would surface ...

Best,
Sunnywood

Coxe · October 23, 2006 12:36AM

The MS69 1793 Cent to see in lot viewing and watch sell.

For myself, the 1893-S PCGS 62PL Morgan, so Ash H. and I can bid it up to a quarter million to try to complete our sets.

MrEureka · October 23, 2006 2:22AM

The Garrett Birch Cent and the Garrett Brasher Doubloon with punch on wing. Both are choice uncs, the Birch with much original red. I've never seen them in person.

rhedden · October 23, 2006 2:46AM

How's this?

The 1933 Saint to see how the discovery of the others has effected the value------------BigE

FullStrike · October 23, 2006 2:52AM

I would like to see a 2008 version of the high-relief 1921 Peace Dollar, struck in Platinum, in Matte Proof. The US Mint seems to be in the mood to take our money - so take it baby - make this coin for those of us that would want it. Limit the mintage to 5,000 and watch it sell out in quick time.

FullStrike · October 23, 2006 3:00AM

Oopps. I seem to have missed the point of the post.

OK, I would like to see the finest known 1913 Liberty Nickel come to auction. Just curious to see how much it would go for. Seems it's now rarer than that 1933 thingy so .....

Outhaul · October 23, 2006 3:02AM

1915 Pan-Pac half struck in gold.

scher · October 23, 2006 3:22AM

Is there really a pan pac or 2 like that? For me would like to see the lexington in pcgs MS68 again..I would rebuy for something "in the ballpark"..
Bruce Scher

Russ · October 23, 2006 3:24AM

PCGS PR68DCAM Accented Hair Kennedy so I could more accurately assess the value of mine. It's been over three years since one sold and, as indicated by the other pop top coins in the early dates, the market is much stronger now.

SmallSizedGuy · October 23, 2006 3:43AM

Bag of anything considered scarce to rare today to see how it impacts the market.

Example would be a bag of 1893-S dollars, or a bag of post 1928 double eagles.

MikeInFL · October 23, 2006 3:59AM

Not nearly the numismatic rarity as many, my wish is much more common...a nice original 1851/81 large cent in XF...Mike
