As the title says, perhaps you'd like to share which non-USA coin you'd most like to add to your collection. To get things started, mine likely would be a 1793 24 livres piece in at least AU condition. But the coin in that condition typically sells for upwards of $7000, so I'll probably never own one.

    If I was a primarily US collector, the answer would be a Pillar dollar.

    I watched the 1949 British film comedy "Passport to Pimlico" today.

    The film showed a King Edward IV gold rose noble ryal.

    I've been looking for a Nepal Tola VS2003 for a long while. And Turkey gold 1923/23 25k and 50k. Grateful for any help.

    Wow, lofty aspirations! The EID Mar is of course nice, if somewhat overhyped.
    The J.C is by far more easily reachable. Mine wouldn't win any beauty contests, but I love it because it is so freakishly different.

    what am I missing here. I thought I had them all, plus some oddities. :/
    7 ?? can u please list these 7?
    not counting the slightly higher/lower 7 or a repunched digit, or HP or not HP etc.
    Or matt???? have not seen one or heard of one either.

    Yes, if you count these there will be more than 7.
    please do not forget that the 47 Maple Leaf is actually a 1948.

    Am looking fwd to learn what I am missing.

    A massive (373.2 grams) gold coin featuring my favorite composer. Mintage: 1.

    I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

    I have a short list of coins I know exist which are either upgrades to my pillar collection or currently missing. Any one of those will do.

    Does the Vatican issue coins? Which mint do they use?

    I believe the Italian Central Bank and maybe others (Swiss ?) strike the limited edition gold coins they have issued, mostly with Popes on them.

    I don’t know… It is quite possible that it could be a coin that I have yet to see in hand.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
