What's that one coin you do not already own, but would like too, and someday plan too?

For me, it'd would be a proof buffalo. The Buff is my all-time favorite series. Budget willing, some day I hope to own a nice example.

    Hi,

    Well, a totally original black/purple 1939 Proof Walker with just a touch of emerald glitter under that black mottled and thick skin to excite me in strange ways. I'd like to find it myself in some very old collection, naturally.

    A capped bust half eagle 'fat head' (1813-1834)

    I could probably save up to afford a damaged one (cleaned, ex-jewelry, etc) but problem-free MS or high circulated grades are very rare and super pricey. So it's a dream for now.

    If we were gonna talk about dreams that will never happen, then I'd want to put together a full date run of these (including of course the 1815, 1819, 1821, 1822, and 1829. Maybe a hoard will turn up in Europe in my lifetime, I can always dream image

    Small Eagle Half dollar, eagle, or half eagle. Those and the $50 slugs have always been favorites of mine.

    Other than that - a certain 1873-CC Seated dollar also ranks pretty high.

    An 1804 Large 8 over Small 8 Half Eagle in original, unmessed-with AU-50 to AU-58... the challenging part is the original & unmessed-with piece. There just isn't that many around anymore, but I hope it'll happen in 2011.
