Anyone ever owned a pattern coin?

Owning one has been on my bucket list for many years. There are some really great designs.

Some casual browsing produced this beauty:

Or how about this 1855 Flying Eagle cent prototype?

Anyone own any or have other favorites to recommend in this price range?

"Limit of 50 per customer " on the 1855! They must have a lot of them!
