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.
Latin American Collection
Lots of holes to fill in my core collections, so those are first priority. But first choice this morning, just for the fun of it, is this Luneburg gold gulden.

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.
I'll take one of those, please.
I always have liked the 30 tari coins of Sicily, maybe one day!
Eid Mar since it has my birthday on it

A nicely toned British Gothic crown. Not at all in "my" long term areas of interest but one that I've thought about since I've been collecting. Currently just too many great US National Banknotes have been draining my bank accounts.
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.

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.
