What coin, priced below $1000, would you most like to own?

[lclugza]

And what are your reasons for wanting that coin?

[TJ]

I want the expensive Indian Head cents from the 1870's, to finish my collection of IH's.

A nice colorfully toned "thick" Norse medal in MS65ish.

[EVillageProwler]

There are lots of high grade circ medieval European silver crowns that I would love to own. I was thinking about doing a "type" set of English silvers dating back to Alfred of Wessex.

 

The "type" would be each Wessex, or English after unification, monarch.

 

Just doing that spanning the First Hundred Years War, ending with the rise of the House of Tudor at Bosworth Field, would be a treat.

An 1836 dollar in PCGS PR06.

I just noticed you stated under $1,000.00.

 

So my first choice is out.

I'd go an AU58 1955/55. I've always wanted one of those.

I would go with a 1909-S VDB, 1914-D and 1922 Plain Lincoln cents in the best grade possible to get all three for under $1K (if that's even possible, it is according to the Red Book!). That way I could finally complete my Lincoln Cent album started when I was 10.

An MS64 Seated Dime, Drapery, Stars Obverse, with natural decent toning preferably from the 1840's.

Same here. CHRIS

I`d have to say a nice rainbow toned 1876 Twenty cent piece in the ef-au range.

It would go very nicely with the 1875-cc that I already have. Pic provided.

1922 no D lincoln cent to finish collection
