back when I collected sets, I had every cent made from 1857 to date (mid 1980's) except the 1877 Indian Cent. Someday I am going to get one just so I can say I owned it (even if I don't keep it).

I really like the $2-1/2's issued just before the Classic Heads, but my favorite is the 1796 No Stars $2-1/2. TD

I remember as a kid in the 50's having a 1909SVDB wheat cent. We were poor, so I spent it on some candy. When I got into collecting a few years ago, I decided one day to own another. I will, when I find the right one.

Thats a medal I always wanted but not sure it fits the criteria of the OP.
