The rarest coins that you are planning to buy

This is a list about the hardest-to-get and most costly coins that you are going to get. Let's start. My list is:

1st place. 3 roubles na Serebro. The only platinum coin really used for paying things. I'm going to buy it, I'm not paying over 750€ though.

2nd place. 10 Markkaa Gold. A LMU gold coin, this costs about 250€ at Finnish auctions. I want this only because I already have the 20 markkaa gold (360€)

3rd place. 1 1/2 roubles of Poland. A large silver coin. Probably costs over 100€ in a good condition.

4th place. 5 roubles gold. My nearest numismatic shop sells it for under 100€.

5th place. Either the 3/4 rouble coin or the Siberian 10 kopek coin if I ever find either with a lower cost. I tried to buy the 3/4 rouble coin but there was some "extra posting payments".

Your turn!
You have a very good taste.

I want to buy Finnish 10 markkaa one day, since I'm a huge fan of LMU coinage.

Regarding the plans - I don't have any. I'm quite spontaneous when it gets to shopping but there are few coins that are absolute must have for me:

1. San Marino 5 Lire 1898

2. Frankfurt City Thaler:

​I suppose you're talking about this coin?: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20953.html
Bullion value for this type is around 132 €, for older types it's even around 200 €.
Very suspicious if your numismatic shop sells these for under 100 €.
druzhynets, when I saw 'Queen VictoriaCrown' on your list i thought I would be the same type that's on mine too!

Anyway, here's my list:

1. UK Victoria 'Gothic' Crown 1847 or 1853
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23740.html

2. UK George V 'Wreath' Crown 1927-1936
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8475.html

3. France 5 Francs 1898 'La Semeuse' (Essai)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27717.html
(Shame this coin stayed an Essai IMO)

4. Kiau Chau Wilhelm II 10 Cents
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17663.html
(I already have the 5 Cents, so this would complete a set of 2)

5. USA Seated Liberty Dollar
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27871.html
(I keep thinking I see one at a bargain price but it turns out to be a US Trade Dollar)

6. Italy Vittorio Emanuele III 20 Lire '10th Anniversary of the Armistice)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16857.html
(Actually going to get this before the end of the year!)

That's true. For example, in Poland in recent years this coin costs 700-750 PLN (roughly 160 EUR). I don't believe that someone would sell it cheaper than the bullion value (unless you trick someone who owns it..)
ROMA AETERNA
I would be very suspicious on the coin. Check if it is counterfeit.

Anyways, my wishes:
5. Montenegro 1 Perper
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18815.html

4. Macau 100 Patacas
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces96106.html

3. Ancient Chinese Knife Money (no, I didn't use a weapon to attack him, just hit him with a coin!)

2. Any coin with the Little Prince and/or Saint Exupery - one of my first books I read myself.

1. Hong Kong 1 Dollar - Victoria

​I though the same thing. I bought one for $165 earlier this year. Swapped it away for a profit.
OOPS! I meant to say under 200€. As I checked from their "list of coins" it said 185€. But the shop is very nice. Here is some coins that I've bought from there:

The gold coin has been put there after the buying. It was my number two target before I bought it.

In addition to the list I made in the first post, I'm also going to get a 20 euro coin.

"Planning" is, perhaps, too strong of a word. More like keeping an eye out for an opportunity to get them in better grade without overstretching my budget.
HoH
I actually also have the USSR 1920's rouble on my wish list.

Totally forgot, also this:

About 50-100€.
When my collection is sold and I've bought all the toys I want, I might get a couple of older gold coins for an investment
What? Me Worry
All basic Mexican coins issued during the first 25 years of the 20th Century. Pre-revolution is a monumental undertaking, but I'm slowly making progress
