I think for me it would have to be a 1933 British penny - that's the coin I always imagined finding in my pocket money when I started collecting!  |

Since I'm a fan of the dime and working on a complete run, the 1874 cc. Rare and pricy.  ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon

Another 1858-S quarter. But before that, other dream coins will show up. They're figments of my imagination until I find one, and after that they're not as interesting. Except for a few of them...    "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

All those coins are random finds from scrounging ebay and shops. The Commonwealth shilling was more intentional than the others but it still took a lot of scrounging to find. I've found lots more but none as memorable as these. If I have any dream coin it is the next one. I'd like to have a gold Beaver $10 but it's not my dream or goal to own one.

I don't know if I really have a dream coin. Since I do metal detecting, it is my dream to dig up a mason jar filled with classic coins. It can be gold, silver, copper, or a mix of all (preferably gold). I already have a coin that is very valuable to me, and thats a 1910-S Double Eagle from my late grandfather's collection.

Mine would be a Saint Gaudens Double Eagles (1907-1933). Widely believed to be one of America's most beautiful coins.

Being a type collector, my choice would be a 1796 or 1797 Small Eagle Draped Bust Half Dollar.

For my collection one coin I never was able to afford, a proof small motto 1864 Two Cent Piece, PR66 RD would be perfect. I had PR64 or better in all the dates including open and closed 1873 a long time ago. The small motto in proof is a real rarity. Cheapest I've ever seen one sell for was over $20K, and in the grade of PR66 RD I'd need at least $150K probably more. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I will have one 1836 Gobrecht dollar, please. Mint state, please. Thank you very much. Now I will shut up and return to numismatic day dreaming. Seriously, I think this is a really neat coin. Not the rarest, but very pleasing to behold. I really like the 26 stars surrounding the eagle on the reverse. Coupled with the no stars cameo-like obverse, we really have a coin to drool over. |
