most killer (currently) modern box of 20 set in 100 years

Colquhoun · March 9, 2008 5:47AM

I was just think what 20 coins would you take with you to 2108 (money no object and the coins can be found with easy, if we are dreaming why make it hard)..
only rules...
1) must exist in private hands
2) must be dated 1964 later
3) must be currently legal to own

here my picks...

lots 1-5 extremly rare 1964 SMS
lot 1. 1964 SMS penny
lot 2. 1964 SMS nickel
lot 3. 1964 SMS dime
lot 4. 1964 SMS quarter
lot 5. 1964 SMS half

lots 6-8 'Golden Dollars'
lot 6. 2000 'Cherios Dollar' Sac
lot 7. Quarter/Sac undated mule one of only 10-12 known. (figure at some point another will show up)
lot 8. 2000 'Goodacre' Dollar

lot 9. 1969 S double die penny
lot 10. 1982 no P dime 'Sandusky'

ok so I can only think of 10 atm.. but I am guessing they all would bring heavy money and strong bids.

How about the 1990 No S Proof Lincoln?

rgCoinGuy · March 9, 2008 6:30AM

And the MS70 2003 Cent, who knows how many more 70's of those will be made, but I doubt many.

jmski52 · March 9, 2008 8:30AM

I'm thinking that the Inaugural Strikes of the Sac Dollars might be interesting. I can't remember how many were made, but not many.

I would also add:

1999-W 1/4 oz. "Unfinished Proof" Gold Eagles

2006-W 1 oz. Reverse Proof Gold Eagles

2004-W 1 oz. Proof Platinum Eagles

2006-W 1/2 oz. "Burnished Unc." Platinum Eagles

Russ · March 9, 2008 8:32AM

1976 bicen proof Kennedy struck at Philly. Four exist.

Russ, NCNE

<< 1976 bicen proof Kennedy struck at Philly. Four exist.

Russ, NCNE >>

I'm aware of the Ike, but not that any such Kennedys exist. And are they available, or would you have to rob the SI?

As for another addition, the 1975-S, no-S proof Roosevelt dime.

Also, at least one transitional error: (1964 clad, 1965 silver, 1983 bronze Lincoln)

the gold ones?

rgCoinGuy · March 9, 2008 8:36AM

OK I would add the 1972 DDO PCGS MS68,
1970 S Small Date Proof PCGS MS69 DCAM
Since these two are popular anyway, and there will always be strong bidding for the best of the best.

PlatinumDuck · March 9, 2008 8:36AM

1976 bicen proof Kennedy struck at Philly. Four exist.

Russ,

Do those coins lack the S mintmark? Or is there a different way of distinguishing them?

They lack the S mintmark. I think they were struck as presentation pieces.

Russ, NCNE

jmski52 · March 9, 2008 8:39AM

the gold ones?

Well, actually - you WOULD have to include the 12 Gold ones, too.

The Sac Dollar Inaugural Strikes were done (in the regular alloy) during the first striking ceremony and I am guessing that the number was somewhere around 300. They were given to the dignitaries who attended.

zenny · March 9, 2008 8:44AM

might want to add these...

Jackie Robinson $5 ms

Library of Congress $10 ms

droopyd · March 9, 2008 8:46AM

Has the legality of owning either a 1974 aluminum Lincoln cent or a 1964 Peace dollar been conclusively established?

cladking · March 9, 2008 9:19AM

'82 25c gem with full strike EDS.

'80-D 50c superb gem

'64 clad quarter (AU)

'76 type I $1 choice gem

1971-D type "b" reverse quarter, ch unc

1989-D 25c clean PL. (any coin of this era that is comparable and clean)(this is the toughest)

'76-P PR Ike

'69 chioce gem 25c

'75 No-S 10c

'83 copper cent

Any PR '65 to '67 issue (probably 20 or 30 exist)

'68 inverted S half

'90 No-S 1c (PR-69)

'82 NMM 10c (fully struck)

'65 RR 50c

'71-D DDR 25c (AU+)

'99-P DE 25c superb gem PL

'77 type "d" reverse 25c (unc)

'77-D 40% silver 50c (AU/ unc)

Something from '70 mint set. (PL half, MS-68 sm dt 1c, MS-68 P 25c, MS-67 FS '70-S 5c, etc)

This is a tough list because it has to omit a lot of very important and rare coins. It's obviously slanted a little to quarters.

64 sms coins are a great choice, lot 8, take that out and sub it with a 71 jefferson no S pr69dcam
1990 no S linc needs be in there to fill the other 10.

Cladking Im very depressed by the fact you see no Jefferson in your box of 20

cladking · March 9, 2008 9:31AM

<<

Oops. There are a lot of great Jeffersons that could be on it. Note that the '70-S FS gem got a mention.

Jeffs are the toughest for me since it's so very difficult to find high grade coins.

cladking · March 9, 2008 9:32AM

...And, of course, the '68-S FS could make any list even now.

Now them is some rocking choices

any suggestions on jefferson refrence books other than nagengasts analyst?
The series seems so neglected by most. And I was wondering the other night how many people
consider this a closed set after 2003

segoja · March 9, 2008 11:01AM

how about the 76-D 40% Silver Ike

The 76 No S Ike in Proof

68 No S Dime

90 no S cent

69-S D Die cent

75 no s dime

just for starters

TomB · March 9, 2008 1:28PM

This thread would be an entirely different animal if it were limited to regular proof and business strike issues instead of trial pieces, patterns, errors or scarce varieties.

Stooge · March 9, 2008 1:37PM

1975-No/S Proof dime! PCGS pop = (0/0)

Later, Paul.

<< This thread would be an entirely different animal if it were limited to regular proof and business strike issues instead of trial pieces, patterns, errors or scarce varieties. >>

But for most of us, those are the coins we go gaga over, something I doubt will change in a 100 years. I know if I knew what I know now and it was 1908, I would be buying up.. trial pieces, patterns, errors and scarce varieties.

TomB · March 9, 2008 3:23PM

I agree with you, but I hadn't thought about how top-heavy the list would be until I saw what people chose to add to the list. My own preliminary list would have been more similar to cladking's in that I would have looked for really well-struck coins of certain dates. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the lists that folks have come up with and I meant no harm in my initial comment.

Colquhoun · March 9, 2008 3:30PM

oh agree, Cladking's list, mine or the other additions people came up with would be a next to impossible collection to assemble.. I think any coin mentioned on this thread would cause excitement at the 2108 FUN Show auction
