What would you like to collect but can't afford to?

Pattern coins have always been interesting but the prices are just
way too high for me.

I like patterns a lot too. I have spent a lot of time looking a the
'coins that might have been' on the Harry Bass site and other sites.

For me, I think it would be Colonials and other pre-Mint tokens and
other issues.

Gold coins of Scotland. Especially the David II Nobles from ca 1367. But
not being a Rockefeller I must appease my lust with humbler silver issues.

After acquiring a first gold coin, 1/10 OZ $2.00 Gold Eagle ....
gold, gold, gold!!!!.
Such a beautiful thing. Amazing at the detail that is on Lady Liberty
with an 18X loupe. Yes it's tiny, but it's gold and it's mine,...errr
I mean the wife's! Hee Hee!
Now that I am back to 1850 with a VF Large Cent with my cent type set,
wish I could afford to continue on back into the 1700s in VF, but alas
I am going to have to settle for less.

Early Bust Quarter Eagles, particularly the reverse die matches with the Draped Bust
Dimes.

I don't own one but I would love to collect Gold Pandas. I have to
settle for the silver ones. This is my second year collecting silver
pandas. I have a 2002 and 2003 silver panda. I wish I had got into
collecting coins years ago I would have had every year issued, oh well.

There's nothing stopping you from getting the earlier years, people sell them
all the time. I bought a few from Dondi3....you may want to contact him.

I hear ya. I have just two gold coins:
a 1913 US 2 1/2 dollar gold piece and
British gold half sovereign that I won in a
raffle from the British Royal Mint at the
1984 ANA convention.

Neither is worth a great deal of money
but they are still neat.

Which particular `colonies'?

Some of the patterns are nicer than the designs that ultimately got used,
particularly in the case of the Morgan dollar.

If money weren't an issue, I'd collect Anglo-Saxon and Celtic coins of Great
Britian.
