I'd have to go with a cache containing at least one example of every colonial coin ever minted. Until I find it, I will just dream about it. :detecting:
 
I wish Minelab would get their act together. Sent my Safari in for repair. I was told it would take at least 6 weeks.
 
My wish list has gotten much shorter in recent years. But I don't mind finding duplicates! Currently, I'm stalking that illusive Seated Liberty 20 cent piece. Gotta be at least one out there just waiting to be dug. Maybe the next hunt? If not then, maybe the next? Or the next? Or the next? Sooner or later, I'm bound to stumble across one! Just a matter of research and application. Best of luck to each of you in filling your Wish Lists. HH Randy
 
Like Del i've found most of what's on your list. Still looking for a Gold coin, Silver dollar,and Three cent silver. Oh and a belt plate, the chances of finding one of those is slim to none where i live. AL

Pre 1830 US Silver,3 Cent Silver,All you guys with the 20 cent listed crack me up I want one too but you have a much better chance of finding a gold coin.
I'm not going to call this my Bucket list though.Good luck all
 
Hopefully finding a 20-cent piece is more than wishful thinking. :stars: because I am optimistic about the chances of finding one. According to mint records, there were more 20-cent pieces minted than there were 77 IH's. And I know that finding them is do-able. Just a matter of hunting the right kind of sites. :detecting: HH Randy
 
My wish list would be to find an untouched fairgrounds from the 1800's

My goal this year as far as a coin is I want to find a Barber half.

According to that history, The 20-cent piece was minted from 1875-1878. Nearly 1,355,000 were produced in total, with over 1.1 million of those being the 1875-S. Some 10,000 of the 1876-CC were minted, but most of those were melted down at the US Mint before ever being released. In 1877 and 1878, only a few hundred proofs were released.

Although Mint records indicate that there were 852,500 IH cents minted in 1877, recent studies indicate there might have only been 200,000 released to the public. According to Rick Snow, ANA "Numismatist of the Year" 2010, "the typical die can strike about 200,000 coins". All of the 1877's known have the same reverse die image and one of two obverse die images. "For a mintage of 4 times that amount we should see many more obverse and reverse dies. For circulations strikes, the Mint Report for 1878 states that 3 obverse dies and 6 reverse dies were made in 1877, but only 2 obverse dies and 1 reverse die were actually used. The remaining reverse dies were used in 1878. If records are correct, and only one die was used in 1877, the mintage would be much less than previously believed."

I base my odds of finding a 20-cent piece on the fact that there were 1,100,000 of them circulated from the San Francisco mint in 1875. When I compare that to the 852,000 (or maybe only 200,00) 1877 IH cents circulated, I like the odds. No doubt it will be a long shot! But that is why it's called my Wish List. You can bet I'll be doing the happy dance if and when it happens. HH Randy
