2001 USA $1 SAE 9/11/01 WTC Ground Zero Recovery 

Sterling Silver Ictus ring

I think this thread has outlived its useful run.

I pocket piece carry a variety of coins in my collection (depending on my mood) from PMs (Au, Pt, Ag) to non-PMs. My favorite pocket piece is a 500 Million Mark denominated 1923 Germany Ruhr-Rhine Notgeld. Shown below is an 1855 Great Britain Victoria Shield Sovereign…

Personally, my most preferred size is the 1 troz. 1/4 troz is the ideal size. 1/10 troz is the least size I have acquired. My favorite 1/10 troz acquisition is the 1/10 troz gold Vault Protector.

1855 GB sovereign
1868 Filipinas 4 Pesos
Chan Chu (3-legged toad) gold figurine from Hong Kong

1916 Great Britain 6 Pence

 
1985 struck China 1/10 troz 999 gold Bao Yuan Vault Protector reproduction 

1972-1977 Philippines 5000 Piso gold coin. Biggest Philippines gold coin minted with almost 2 troy ounces of gold. Not my picture but I do own 1 of this…

1855 GB QV Sovereign (since no 1955 GB QE2 Sovereign was issued on my birth year). 1868 Philippines Queen Isabel 2 4 Peso gold (handed down from my grandmother to my father and on to me). 999 gold hollow Jin Chan figurine (Feng Shui 3-legged Money Toad)…

I always find that bullion have the better price point.

Being previous year issues, they would all be challenging to source. The Perth Mint Lunar Dragon would be the higher  premium of the 3 with the Dragon being popular. The earlier year Panda (2005 & 2007) would be higher premium and lower mintage (if you can source them). Good luck with the hunt.
I was going to suggest the American Gold Buffalo from your wish list but they did not start until 2006.

One more for the top anybody’s wish list would be the US Mint’s 2009 modern day recreation (based on original dies and using modern day technology) of Augustus St Gauden’s piedfort pattern $20 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle minted in 9999 gold.

Perth Mint Lunar Year gold issues for those years (Rooster, Pig & Dragon).
Me, I have 1 troz gold China Panda for my 2 kids born in 1985 & 1989. I actually have a complete run of all the 1 troz gold designs from 1982 - 2015 (quit the China Panda gold series when they switched to 30 gram weights).
Pic of China Panda 1 troz gold designs from 1982 - 2015. 2016 and onwards are 30 grams only.
