Why is it my favorite coins are those not yet in my collection?

The top three I want would be

1936 Proof Buffalo nickel
1937 Proof Buffalo nickel
1971 No S mint mark Proof Jefferson Nickel


This would put me with an UNC and Proof set running back to someplace into the 1920's to include a complete run of US nickels including all the proofs and a lot of varieties.

Three coins I want to own at some point are:

1. 1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar in EF or better.

2. 1916-D Mercury dime in EF or better.

3. 1878-CC Seated Liberty half dollar in AU or better.

I'd also love to purchase a 1936 U.S. Proof set someday.

I'll go with coins that are not in my collection

1. 1851-O 3 Cent Silver
2. 1836 Cap and Rays Gold Dollar Pattern
3. 1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece

Especially the pattern. The Cap and Rays pattern is a beautiful coin, and would be a wonderful addition to any set.

2) 1878-P Liberty Head Half Eagle NGC-AU-58
