Whats on your bucket list?

[Digger_O'Dell]

I know most everyone talks about items on their bucket list of coins to find. I would love to hear what some of you have on your list!

Here's my short list:

1868 large cent
1943 copper penny
1944 steel penny
Fugio cent
half dime
half cent piece
2 cent piece
3 cent piece (silver trime)
1876CC 20 cent piece
any gold coin (1870S 3 dollar piece maybe?)

Digger , I'm afraid your 1868 large cent will permanently be on that list:yes:


my "want to find list" includes....

a military belt of shoulder plate of any kind

a liberty cap cent (half or large)

any draped bust silver

a capped bust quarter or half

a gold relic or coin

a Revolutionary war military button

theres more but this is a good start :lol::lol: thanks for letting me dream ;)

rev war cannon ball... I live in the area of Battles of Saratoga and do you think I can find one.... of course I would also add a GW as a close 2nd on my list.

Don't know if you knew, but 11 years after the large cent was discontinued a mint employee apparently found the die set and made about a dozen or so unofficial large cents with the 1868 date.

:shocked03:I did not know !

Tops on my list would be a GW button. It seems attainable in my area.

Let's see...

1600s coin- I've come close!

Civil war or before plate

Gold Coin

draped bust silver

complete mallet or onion bottle

Rev war or war of 1812 button

pistareen

Artillery shell/ large cannonball

[Bucknut]

This is the perfect thread to post my dream finds. Still on my list are the following:

Gold coin
Flowing Hair coin
Drapped Bust coin
3 cent (silver or nickel)
20 cent silver
Shield Nickel
1700's silver (Spanish or American)

That covers the big ones for me. With the permissions that I currently have I think I might be able to get a Shield Nick or maybe even a 3 center. So we will see...I can't complain if I never find any of these.

right now I'm looking for:

Plate (civil war or before, breast, buckle, box, shoulder, hat)
and a civil war state button and confederate button
and more colonial coppers

I still have a half cent and a 3 cent nickel on my coins to find list... also a cob and gold coin, 1600s coin... etc

One thing I have noticed doing research on certain coins is that having certain coins in your possession can be illegal and a Federal offense due to mint recalls or other monetary actions. One prime example is the 1973 Lincoln aluminum penny. Samples were made and many given out to government officials. But then the mint decided against issuing the coins and recalled them. Now there is only 1 left known to exist, though many are unaccounted for. The Fugio is another example, but old enough the government no longer worries about them.

After 46 years in the hobby have only one remaining....a 20 cent piece and Canada only issued them 1 year.

[Cheap Thrills]

Any gold coin ( American or foreign even if it's on jewelry) .
Seated Quarter
Seated Half
Barber Half
Any Reale larger than the half Real
Peace Dollar
Large Cent
These are coins that have a remote but not impossible chance of being in the areas I hunt ;They have so far eluded me for 23yrs.
