Your dream coin ?

ausproofs · May 24, 2014, 08:13:14 PM

Hey guys,

I was looking at some coin dealers stock for a specific coin.. Came a cross some very nice coins... It got me thinking... :idea: What if money is no objection, what coin would you like to own ?

I love my silver so I would love to get a 1932 specimen Florin ! Never seen one, but would be nice to get one !

If not that would love a 1955 P Proof Penny in high grade ..

This is going to take some thought. I once wrote a list of what I aspired to own. I looked back (when I found it again) years later and I'd fulfilled a lot of the list.

My supplier in China can get you a bunch of those really cheap:dodgy:

Yet fools like me search through piles of halfs hoping that maybe we might get lucky to get a VG one.

A really good Holey Dollar and Dump would be my top wish.

I'm with ausproofs on this one: A 1932 specimen Florin would make me very happy! :yahoo:

a perfect GEM 1964 Y penny (in red - even better!)
i'd be in heaven

a good friend of mine proudly showed me his MS66 1964 Y (?RB/RD/BN - label doesn't state colour) penny "APGS" that he bought off ebay recently

he of course got a Robbie earful as I was disgusted at what he paid for it and that he was stupid enough to think those idiots can grade, plus I hold the record for highest graded PCGS 1964y's ...so i was even more miffed!!

years of searching and then those idiots ruin it for us

anyway, off topic I know
