I'd settle for proof examples of every 19th and 20th-century U.S. coin (type, not specific year or mint mark) in MS65 or above.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I honestly don't like the idea of just dreaming I suddenly have an amazing coin collection. 95% of the fun is learning and hunting and slowly building. If you really owned a super rare high value coin collection, you'd have likely spent years putting it together and you'd have a sense of accomplishment and pride. It's the same reason I'd rather spend time and money putting together an album rather than just going on ebay and buying a full one with all the coins. If I just wanted to wish for something ridiculously valuable, I'd wish for a pallet of gold bricks or some Manhattan real estate. |

Nobody has suggested a complete BU set of St Gaudens Double Eagles? I'd be fine with everything but the 1933...

My dream collection is one I've been working on for a quite a while now. It's a toned collection of Proof Seated Liberty dimes. My goal is to assemble a complete collection from 1858 to 1891 of the most beutifully toned proofs as I can put together. I've been working on it for a number of years now and I'm getting close to the halfway point. I have 15 so far and 20 more to go. It may take me the rest of my lifetime but it should be a fun journey. Here's a link to my showcase for the set at PCGS. A few of them are currently at PCGS getting TrueView imaging so hopefully the images will be complete soon. http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/sho...aspx?sc=2030By the way my avatar is part of this set and perhaps my favorite. |

tkbslc, I did not mean "wish" as in "poof" and I have it. I meant wish as in "I do not have the money to get it but if I did, I would get..."

I might as well throw in the 1933 British Penny.
British coins don't tend to command the astronomical prices of some American coins, but the 1933 Penny is still highly sought after. Only six are known to exist, and just two of them are in the hands of collectors.

Hey Demarco, I'm not very knowledgeable about coins from the UK so I just did a Google search on the 1933 Penny and what a cool story. I like the part about how they would bury full sets under the foundation of new buildings.

1. To complete my all FSB Mercury dime Album. Only 5 more to go. 2. A complete set of coins used over 3,000 years ago. I've always wondered what they used in Gum Ball machines back then.  3. All Sitting Liberty Dimes in MS grades. 4. One each of all the odd ball types of coins such as the 1943 Copper, 1944 Steel, 1974 Aluminum, etc. |

I have always been drawn to the 1894-S Barber dime. Out of 24 minted, only nine are known; so that means 15 of these honeys are out there someplace (assuming they still exist). My dream is to discover one in some odd fashion and then to become really famous. |

I would love to own a gold coin... preferably a high-reflief, MS-65 St. Gaudens with Roman numerals.

I wouldn't mind a gold aureus set of the first 12 caesars of the Roman Empire. Not the most valuable set of coins in numismatics, but way above the limit of MY financial resources.
At least I have a lower grade aureus of the first Emperor Augustus (Octavian). For me that's the vision of Walter Mitty already achieved.
