What is your dream coin?

[1320]

If the metal detecting God's asked you to give up detecting and in return would reward you with a dream coin, what would it be?

Curious to see how many choices will be the same and/or the same as mine.....

My dream find is a gold coin of any kind, but the ultimate would be one of the rare private mint gold coins that sprang up after the gold rush. I am heading to somewhere next month that I believe will be my best shot so far at getting a US minted original gold coin. Wish me luck!

I'm thinking an 1804 dollar would do it for me.....

 

[Kentucky Kache]

Have to go with jeff on this one! 1943 copper, not steel! A small mason jar full would be even better! In great shape they are worth about $100,000 each!

[Emperor Findus Cladius]

I will take a 1913 V nickel!!!

 

[lonewolfe]

I'll take an 1870-S mint Seated Dollar in ms60 or better condition please

 

[resurector]

I'd take a J.H. Bowie 1849 $5 gold(pg.281 redbook) Or a 1776 Continental Dollar in silver the 'eg fecit" variety(pg.33 R.B.) Both would be MILLION DOLLAR finds

 

[nedigger]

A double eagle for sure but any gold coin would be awsome. HH.

 

[Steeler Fan]

1933 Double Eagle...I thought one sold for several million recently. All were destroyed except for one due to no more US gold coins minted after 1932...10 were supposedly "taken" from the mint, but were all recovered except for one. Since they were never "legal tender and officialy released" they were illegal to own. I think they recovered all but but one, making it a unique coin. I do not know what happened to the other nine coins that were recovered, so I am not sure if the term "unique" should apply. Were the other nine destroyed? If I am incorrect in my statements, please correct me. This is all from Memory! :-)
