My idea of the coolest coins would be a 55 DDO Lincoln with an equal DDR. Both sides doubled dramatically.

Hmm. I would like to see an un-dipped seriously watery DCam Walking Liberty 50C with a fully frosted sun - in a Mint Set. I'm sure there are some - but I have seen few and perhaps none truly and fully frosted - and none in Mint Sets.
Best,

That exists though, much like the '33 $20s.
For me it would be a red BU 1794 starred reverse cent.
<< <i>The 1964 Peace Dollar. >>
Maybe to help define that statement a little further....a Legal To Own, single, 1964 Peace Dollar, that just so happened to be owned by you.
Always trying to help...

How about a CC Morgan/$20 Lib mule (in gold, of course)?

There is also at least one coin for which dies were made but no coins are known to have been struck: 1870-S quarter.
There are also missed opportunities: 2009-S VDB Lincoln cent.
Of all of these, the one I would most like to find is the 1870-S quarter.

One that I think would be quite interesting would be
an 1883 No Cents "V" Nickel struck on a gold dollar blank planchet
or over stuck on a gold dollar.

Especially if it's dated 1870.

#1. A 1964 Franklin Half Dollar, MS FBL and/or a DCAM Proof;
#2. A 1936 Proof Peace Dollar;
#3. A 1917 MPL, Certified by PCGS;
#4. A DCAM Proof 1933 Double Eagle and a DCAM Proof 1933 Eagle;
#5. A documented First Strike MS coin (for each denomination approved by Congress at the time the Mint was founded) dated 1776 and struck in Philly on the date the Declaration Of Independence was signed in Philly; and
#6. An 1815 Large Cent in MS.
There was supposed to be one in the Egyptian King Farouche (sp?) collection which was sold as part of a large lot, but it has never turned up. The consensus now is that the coin never existed.

<< <i>Any ancient coin with a B.C. date on the coin. >>

before or after the dawn of history. Farmers used small discs with farm assets depicted
on them to fascilitate trading. Over time the discs grew to represent concepts like "ten
cows" or "next year's wheat harvest". It was seen that if ideas could be represented than
so too could sounds.
Anyone in those days might have inscribed the concept of value on a piece of metal but
the world wasn't ready for money so it didn't catch on. There was extensive trade between
regions and nations and this trade did include some silver and gold as well as copious a-
mounts of copper. It's entirely possible there were many "coins" in existence before they
actually became popular but they were not "circulated".
I'd like to see something of the sort from the great pyramid building age even if it's noth-
ing more than a thin metallic "jar seal" or a token issued to outstanding workers.
