Buffalo Nickel. Not sure why, I really like the design. Also an early turbin-head gold piece, but there's a better reason for that!

What have you never owned that surprises you? Or more significantly, what are you going to do about it? image

    A really nicely toned Proof Buffalo Nick would do you just right.

    As much as I like Bust Quarters, I've never owned a Draped Bust Quarter.

    I've also never owned any Proof coins prior to 1956. Always wanted a Proof Walker but have just never pulled the trigger.

    This was me always wanting an older Proof, preferably 1800's. Finally won a 1901 Proof IHC. Couldn't be happier.

    Just like you Billet7, so many really cool coins I'd like... including a great Buffalo Nickel.

    I passed up a beautiful 1793 Half Cent for $10K today. It was raw. Oh, how I pondered it. Then, I said to the dealer/friend, "I've never owned a really cool..."

    I've done the exact same thing, VF25, very nice. I'll have to just deal with the one I've got, even at a much lower grade.

    Large Cent.

    How's that for bizzare? I'm putting together a US Type set too. For some reason I've been putting off the early copper. Seems like a whole different game.

    I have never owned a piece of 18th century US silver. All of my pre-1800 US coins have been large cents.

    I've never had a pre-1834 US gold coin, but that's likely to remain the case for quite some time.

    On the metal detecting front, I've never found a Washington quarter from the 1930s. For some reason, that decade has eluded me, though friends have dug them right next to me several times.

    And on the Darkside front, I've never owned an ancient Athenian "Owl" tetradrachm, though I've admired them since I was a kid. That is a coin I could have afforded to buy at times, but my tastes there outclass my budget. I don't want to buy one of those until I find a really nice one. And I can't afford a really nice one.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Lots of the stuff CRO offers -- colonials and foreigns in particular. I've spent hours looking, but never pulled the trigger. Yet. image

    I've never owned a Chain Cent and I need to correct that.

    The only Buffalo Nickels I've owned were the three legged variety. If you're only going to own one, the three leggers are always cool.

    3-dollar gold coin. Always wanted one but never got one they were always went for just over my budget allowance or I got beat out somehow at auctions. I will not settle for the 1854 or 1878 as I am tired of seeing these dates all over the place. Any other date will probably do. Almost any1793 liberty cap cent with a readable date-which is now out my price range. A D(Dahlonega)-mint gold coin.

    Matte-Proof Lincoln. I really want one but I don't want to get sucked into the series, at least until I'm ready to fully commit.
