WHAT COIN IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER by an MDer?

[melnatcat]

In other words, what would be your dream coin to dig out of the ground? I would love to pull out a Dahlonega $3 coin. What do ya'all think?

Bust coins ! ! !
That is what turns my crank.
But I hear a lot of guys and gals wishing for that illusive SLQ.

Mostly keep your eyes open a catch them as they come along,
Have fun and good hunting.

realistically- i'm partial to the seateds and the SLQs
Improbably- Silver Dollars and $1 & $5 gold pieces
Impossibly- $20 gold piece and Kidd's Treasure

GOOD FOR 1 LAY token from a chicken ranch

I would like to find at least one gold coin. ( preferably, the one with the Indian Head on it ) and also at lest one silver dollar, (any kind )... Of-course, they're probably just like potato chips, and I'll want another one right after the first....

For me, I would love to find a small cache of Walking Liberty Halves. I think they are a beautiful coin.

I don't get much opportunity to get out and detect these days. So when I CAN dig I'm happy with pretty much any coin that is older than me.

SLQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[artemis moon]

I think that if I'm going to be realistic, I would love a colonial copper. If I'm fantasizing, a Roman coin would be awesome!

 

[coin finder]

a nice 1943 copper penny will make (my Day !)

 

[Jeffro]

I'm easy, a Morgan would make my day!

Been detecting for 10 years and I have yet to find a " SEATED COIN".
Hunted places were a " SEATED COIN" would be but yet I have not dug one.
Found lots of silver Barbers but no "SEATED COIN" yet.
Went hunting with Skinny Puppy and WaterColor , Skinny Puppy was given a 1877 "SEATED DIME" by a Mississippi
trucker. The rest of us got silver too, but no "SEATED COIN"....
I see so many "Seated Coins" found, but not me, I can't find one yet.

So to answer the question... would be ....
A "SEATED COIN"......if you haven't guessed that already....

If that truck driver gave you that Seated dime, you would have nothing to look forward to (still ROTFL about that)

 

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

A chain cent would be nice......
