I have not found a bucket list coin since 2018. The only common bucket list coin I have not found is a Franklin Half. I have not found a Barber half, but I don't consider it an easy find for my area. I do okay on Barber dimes and quarters, but no Barber half yet.
I mentioned on the finds page I don't really see a lot of Seated coins posted on the finds pages. I see even fewer Bust coins. I always wonder why not. I figured Seated in many of the Northern and Eastern states would be at least as common as Barbers are here.
Any coin they stopped making pre-Barber are really tough to find where I live. The oldest Seated I've found was a 1851 dime found on a site that also produced a 1867 2 Cent coin for me. Tops on my old coins list to find are a Large Cent, Flying Eagle, Seated Half Dime, Seated Quarter, Trime, Shield nickel, and III cent nickel. I've found several sharp early Barbers meaning there was no reason the person who lost them couldn't have had a Late minted Seated half dime or quarter in their pocket also.
Bottom line pre-Barber coins for me are really tough to find.
