I have a LOT that meet that criteria, unfortunately, but this one sprung to mind.
A couple years ago an older dealer set up at our local show that I hadn’t seen before. His story was he’d retired years ago, and only set up hoping to self off various odds and ends he still had left. As a (US) large cent guy, this one caught my eye. I think I got it for around $45-50, a bargain for high grade early copper vs US issues:

Though designed by AA Weinman I always liked Walkers better. But I couldn’t resist the 16 S in OGH and the 1945 premium gem only cost me $30.

Found in a change purse from my Grandmother's place after she passed... The Kenefics immigrated to the US from Ireland in 1845. If this piece could talk!
Now that I have a dedicated macro lens, I'll have to dig this out to reimage...

CACG 1944-D MS67 WLH -- great series, but just not one I really ever got into collecting. This was purchased raw along with several other cherrypicked items from someone's inherited collection about 2 years ago, later submitted to CACG.
That same little collection also had this stunner of a WLH in there too, though I eventually sold it at a Long Beach show: CACG 1945-S MS65+ WLH
I don't collect Commemoratives, per se, although I have picked up a few over the years. Still one of my favorites.

I wouldn't attempt a comprehensive collection of So-called dollars, but there are some that have such beautiful designs or toning that I find them irresistible

Damn, I have lots of series I dont collect. But I dont have pictures of anything I havent yet collected. But here are "medal" that are not part of a series that I know of:
Assembling a killer type set all focused on eye appealing coins rather than numerical grades.
Here’s my latest win from GC. While not a Buffalo nickel collector, I’m over the moon with this one
I won them in an auction and don't have a clue how to proceed..
Purchased upon restarting my collecting again and I liked the toning. I don't collect half dimes.
MS62
Purchased because I wanted one for my collection. I'm not interested in collecting the series.
SP65 2/0
French Jetons
At my age they’re to hard to see or hold.
As a type collector, that would be most of my collection.
But I will say, I typically steer clear of cleaned or altered coins, however, I made an exception for this one:

My only quarter eagle. ANACS AU53. Mintage 800.
Here's another..

It's not modern or even a U.S. coin, but I decided to buy a Greek Owl. This the only ancient Greek coin I have.
U.S. Type Set
I'm generaly not much of a fan for error's but this one jumperd out at me last year and I impulse bought it.
It's an oddball in my collection for sure.

For what it is worth. The last three posts on here look like a pretty good invite to start a new collection. Of course money is always an issue but still; very appealing coins. James
