I need a 1916D Mercury dime to finish that collection. Hard to find a good one under $650.

I'm a big fan of the Kennedy half-dollar which I believe just started being minted again for general circulation, though the new ones don't contain any silver. I have lots of the old 90/10s.


It's a question of whether we're going to go forward into the future, or past to the... to the back.

I only collect what I find in circulation, ie I don't buy coins. I did find two steel pennies on the ground in a puddle while pumping gas last winter.

I agree with waggler, the buffalo nickel is a real nice coin and the currently minted gold 50.00 (1 ounce) buffalo coin is a great looking near copy. The gold coin is attainable directly from the mint or from most decent coin shops. The walking liberty half dollar pictured above has often been selected as America's most beautiful coin.

I would love to have an Oregon gold beaver $5 or $10 coin. Only thought to be about 50 in existence. They were minted by Oregon's provisional government in 1849 with California gold. When Oregon became a state the federal government required them to be surrendered and melted down in Denver.

The last record of one selling was in 2015 for $227,000.

I received this from my grandfather, as I was his first grandchild. I'll likely pass it along the same way when I have my first, in a few decades hopefully!

My bucket list coin to find is a Seated Liberty, any denomination. Too many cool coins to choose from. My oldest detector find with a date is 1787 Fugio large cent.

I’m partial to the Franklin half dollar. It’s silver, not too expensive and Franklin holds a special place in my mind. After all, he did want the turkey as the National bird.

Kennedy half dollars were minted for circulation through 2001 except for 1987 which only a few million were made. Beginning in 2002 half dollars have been minted each year four collectors sets. A person can get them in either clad, clad proof, or silver proof. I believe the last couple years they are even offering them and 99.9% silver.

A person can somewhat regularly find the new ones and circulation as the ones that get used up and collector set get sent into circulation. If I had to guess they make two to three million a year plus or minus

I’m a fan of the Kennedy half dollar also.

And the Eisenhower dollar coin.

Morgan silver dollars for me. Big, heavy, make that music when you drop in on bar when you tell the barkeep, "Whiskey, and leave the bottle."
