When I was in the throes of completing my Type Set (7070)... Large Cents by Date... and Buffalo Nickels, I had multiple pages on my watch lists with a wide diversity of coinage represented. Now that I've completed a number of these sets, it follows that my watch lists are down to just multiple representations of the same coins: (in no particular order) $3 Gold to finish US Gold Denominations; 1795 Half Dollar to complete major Type (without the Draped Bust SE... :-/); 1787 Fugio Cent (first contract coinage)... and a 1652 Pine Tree of Oak Tree Shilling (first coins struck in the "New World" and I've always wanted one!)... These will fill out the remainder of my Box of 20.
So... if you're up to sharing... what are the top three coins on your watchlists? I'm sure there will be a bunch of key date searchers. Anyone else looking for esoteric type? ...lol!

1933 Double Eagle
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
1878 Morgan VAM in the scarce 14 dot whatever. Pick one or pick ten of them.

1913 v nickel 🥴
I will have to get back to you after the first week of October. This is one of several important choices I will be making. James
1786 New Jersey copper 19-M, 1783 Nova Constellatio 1-A, and 1785 Nova Constellatio 4-D.
Beyond "clips", for which I have automated searches on eBay and several auction houses, I have a couple dozen additional eBay searches reporting results to me every morning, The ones I am most invested in now are specific dates for contemporary counterfeit silver trimes and Buffalo nickels. I also search for certain rare Whitman bookshelf albums, but those hits are fewer and further between.

"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor
1970-D Kennedy half in PCGS PO1 up to VG08.

I'll refrain from going into specifics on my current watchlists, but many years ago 1903-S Morgans and 1856-S quarters were among a few i kept a watchful eye out for.
I have not one single watchlist or list of wants.

Have you achieved numismatic Nirvana? Coin contentment?

That would be nice but no. I'm a squirrel collector now, I see something shiny that I like and off I go, zero direction or focus thus no list.

Haha! Got it... I like that approach.

Looking for a nice original chocolate, unflawed and decently struck Vermont Ryder 2 (Vermonts Landscape) in VFIsh. If you have one to offer, feel free to PM me.
Also looking for a similarly described but lower grade (G4 -VG8?) 1793 half cent, PCGS/CAC.
1855-S, 1856-S & 1859-S 50¢ in honest, pleasing F-XF
7070 collector here as well…..
-PQ VF-AU reeded edge bust half (original skin)
-Wholesome, original skinned draped bust cent….VF grade at min.
-PQ SL half dime (arrows) w great eye appeal (original skin)
(I know this ain’t the BST but anyone looking to part with any of these can feel free to PM).
Not telling you any of my current wants… that would be foolish.
Previously, I looked a long time for a nice, original, well struck 1921S Walker.
Finally found one at the very end of 2021, so that I was able to complete my set with an acceptable example.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
