My dream coin is a 1849 double eagle. Or maybe a 1794 silver dollar with a silver plug.

If it is to be my 'dream coins' in the area of U.S. classic coins, they would have to be the twin gold Panama Pacific Exposition $50 octagonal and round coins. I have had a pair of those sitting in the palm of my hand. 4 ounces of gold], in a pair of rare coins! Actually, my dream coins lie in the area of ancient numismatics.

I wonder about that Indian cent / gold error. I guess the metrology and gold content matches up ... still I wonder if items like this of an off-metal planchet character is always of a 100% certainty being of another U.S. denomination? John Lorenzo Numismatist United States

Why would someone like Mike Byers sell his collection on ebay? The fees have to be ridiculous.

I like the way ebay functions as a free museum. At this price the coin will be on display for quite a while. I like the way it silvered up. But my dream coin is a $10 Oregon beaver.

Right now I just want a 1916 LSQ with a good date for less than $2500. I could then justify spending the money to fill the last four holes in my set. If I can never fill all the holes in my set I just cannot justify to myself spending a couple more thousand on the expensive but less rare coins in the set.

Okay, so I am no longer a young dreamer.... Right now my dream is to find a 1932-D LWC MS63 RB at somewhere near trends. Not 175 or 200% of trends
