Three Dollar Gold Pieces
I have two beautiful examples but the series is a big one and would be very costly to even nearly complete. I say "nearly" because some coins are either unique or rare enough to be affordable only by the most well-heeled collectors (which ain't me). There are 35 years to collect and a few with mint marks. Plus, they are very hard to find in eye-appealing, problem free, and original condition.

How would you collect it if it were no object?

The first big investment I would do is a Flowing Hair with chain reverse. I drool about this coin...

I'd love to have a small fleet of 1950s and 1960s VW beetles.....Yes, beetles...
But if we are sticking to coins/currency I'd collect patterns coins and unique notes. I LOVE the idea of having one of the only few known to exist.

I would pursue one of EVERY U.S. coin ever struck. I would also like a real 427 Cobra, and a yacht (the kind that requires a crew!)  |

I would collect quality watches (Audermars, Vacherons and Petek's) I started already... I have a collection of one and unlikely to grow.
I would try to make a gold date collection if money was no object but since it is I will stick to filling in some blanks I have for circulating currency...

I'd try to get a type set with every type represented by all possible mintmarks (which would of course include such serious rarities as the 1838-O Half Dime, the 1891-O quarter, or even the 1855-D gold dollar, but generally I still won't be going for keys because they're that much harder to find). Oh, and as much as possible in AU-58 (though if something is easier to find in MS-63 or higher I'd go for that). Probably would also get something else, but still have no idea what  |

I think that I would like to put together a set/collection of the best grade of US coins prior to 1800. I have always wanted to have some decent US coins from the late 1700's, but cost always gets in the way. |
