I'll start.
I'm kinda fascinated by the 1792 half DISME!
But I ain't searching for one.

I'd like to have certain modern satirical coins, hard times pieces, but I won't buy anything considered a 'fantasy' overstrike or anything supporting them. So I like smoe of the original pieces, but I'm sticking to my principles.
Most anything Proof.
1909 S VDB & 1914 D Lincoln cent.
1895 proof Morgan.
Chain cent.
Three legged Buffalo.

An interesting pattern coin.
Intrigued by them but could not pull the trigger.

Stella. One day; not looking but maybe if the right one came by...
Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
1955 D/D
55 DDO
Thank you @Bochiman
I've always wanted the School Girl dollar.
Until the St. Gaudens gold coins these were
the best artistically the U.S. mint made. IMO
Fantasy pieces by a certain well known (and loved?) private mint. I don't care what they are struck on, they are just as much of a blight on the hobby as counterfeits from China, or elsewhere. Phooey
Any high grade and/or expensive post Civil War gold. I don't have the spine to risk the potential that several new specimens will appear from European hoards.
$4.00 Stella !!!
I thought that once. Then, Mark Feld found me one I really liked. Slightly toned. I still have it. I really like it. I would agree, generally though, that a "generic" 55DDO (I assume you mean DDO and not just a D/D mintmark piece), isn't as enticing for the funds.
For me, 1797 1over1 half cent, and 1802/0 half cent are items I could buy but haven't, due to the cost vs MY perceived value...at the condition I would want.
I'm sure there are others, as well, but those 2 are needed for my half cent collection, for the last handful of years, and I just don't feel like buying what I have seen on the market, at anywhere near the prices I have seen.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
YES it is THE 1955 DDO
The perceived value & the principal of it prevented me from pulling the trigger.
The 1815 Capped Bust half. Too much money in high grade. Not worth it. I'm going to buy a 2018 Chevy Camaro instead. A red one. Tomorrow. VAROOOM!!!!
Where's the Disagree button when you need it?

The 1851 $50 Humbert gold piece in Unc. condition, yeah right
Even a brass restike is nearly $2500, looks like gold though.

1913 Liberty Nickel because if I bought one I would have to live in a cardboard box the rest of my life
For me it would be pre-1730 colonial currency. Very rare, beautiful, yet somewhat affordable. I would prefer to use my money on better colonials or early type that comes my way.
I'd like to get an Augustus Humbert $50 gold slug, but it's not going to happen. The prices for these pieces have gone way up over the past five years while the grading standards have gone down. Increasingly major rim problems don't seem to affect the grades. I think think that these pieces have become "trophy coins" for well healed buyers, which explains why their prices have bucked the overall downward trend.
An original Hobo Nickel.... I really like them for the history they carry and the 'rough' art... I can imagine a hobo working on the nickel by the light of a campfire with a pot of beans heating.... I know... I am an incurable romantic... Cheers, RickO
LOL....You let it be known without the button.
I know I'm probably in the minority. But I'm probably not alone....
Any variety of the Gobrecht dollar 🙁
Insert witicism here. [ xxx ]
19th century proof issues.
HR Saint
09 vdb
3 leg buff
Anything else I view as significantly overpriced relative to supply and can just write a check for any time I want one. No fun in that.
Condition rarities among common coins.
A non-generic St. Gaudens.
I've always liked the 1794 Dollar.
My YouTube Channel
$50 Pan Pac either octagonal or round.
Someday, I will find the 'right' 1822 25/50 quarter and 1806 B-8 quarter, among others.
Never did have any interest in 09svdb pennies or 16D mercs, or the like.
Liberty: Parent of Science & Industry
1921 or 1922 proof Peace Dollars. 1964-d Peace Dollar.
why, if it makes him happy?

I need a 1916-D to finish my circulated Merc set, but I can't justify spending $1k on a coin that looks like all the others when that money can buy a really nice 19th century type coin.
High Relief Saint, a AU would be just fine.
Once that hole is filled a 1854-S and / or a 1875 $5 liberty would be nice.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Colonial issues, excepting the fugio which I already own.
Go back and read what TommyType said. He was bashing Dan Carr's creations. He said they were as much of a blight on the hobby as Chinese counterfeits which I disagree with.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Did you mean 09 s vdb?

skinny eagle half dollars (1796 and 97) Somehow I just can't get my mind around paying more for a single coin than I did for my house.
They would, however, fill the only 2 holes in my 1794--present half dollar date set.
Wow! There are many really nice choices there and I would sure like to own some of them and I am blessed to own some of the coins mentioned. My realistic "wants" came down to a proof Morgan, but I found a circulation struck piece that is so nice and DMPL that I no longer have that craving.
Louis Armstrong
The 1995-W Proof ASE.
I mean, with that coin I could complete my ASE Proof set, but my OCD isn't so bad that I can't live without it...
yes thanks
Lots of coins but generally:
$4 stella
I've always been fond of the 1921 Standing Liberty Quarter, also the 1918/7 Overdate.
The 1916/16 Buffalo Nickel doubled die would be nice, but I'm a regular type guy and there's no lotto win in sight.
