Same here with the LP4; I still don't even have one. Oh and 1969-S, don't have that one either (and it happens to be like the second-most common S memorial too). Also, the ATB Quarters. Had to buy the ones I needed for my folder, and I ended up buying all of the D's as well.

it took me a long time to get the 1978D jfk half
I didn't search boxes for a while so just doing my set from customer rolls made it take a while
d mint texas took me a while as well. This was also before I searched boxes though

For cents, the most annoying ones to find were 1952-S and 1954. These were the only two I was missing to complete a set of wheats from 1940-1958. I ended up buying both at a shop but the funny thing was that in my change from the shop, I got a 52-S Lincoln! Months later, during separate searches, I found both coins.

It took me a long time to find a 1938 Jefferson. The funny thing is when I finally found one, it was with a '38-D in the same roll (Sadly, there wasn't a '38-S in there). Other similar hard to find common nickels for me were '42-D, '46-S, '48-S, and '51-S. Of those, I have still yet to find the '51-S.

Another annoying coin to find was an '82-D Kennedy. I had almost a complete set of 1964-84 Kennedy halves, but was missing this one. Everything else, save for the '70-D, was found in circulation. I kept asking for halves at banks until I just decided to buy one for more than 50 cents from a shop.

None of those are particularly easy to find. they all have relatively low mintages.

Funny thing though, after about 22 boxes I had at least one of each of those nickels you mentioned, and I still had not found a single 2009 p nickel. I was finding key dates, buffalos, and silvers and I couldnt manage to find a 2009 p. luckily I have found 4 since then. Still pretty low though considering I have over 200 2009 d.
Rest in Peace

For my MS set of Lincoln's I searched coin shows for years looking for a MS graded 1920D. Got real tired of dealers saying OH, that is common. You'll find one here. And I said, not really. Took over 2 years.

The last coin to play hard-to-get was the 2003-D Dime. I finally found it on 22 September 2008.

I also had a difficult time finding a 1991-D Lincoln cent. That one took seven years.

Right now I am almost current, but 2012 is almost here and there are 2010 coins that I still need.

1923S Liberty Half dollar. Can't buy one buy, always get out bid. I looked though 3 $1000 bags of halves. Found a low grade key date but no 23 S.

1982 D LMC, Large Date, Zinc. After 9 months of saving, sorting, and weighing 82's I found 3 and only one was nice enough to put in a circulated set.
