welcome to the forum!
My favorite is also the 1909 D St. Gaudens $20 Eagle. The design will always be a hit for me, and I really think the designs were more beautiful back then. I qualify for the "Under 25" category, since I'm 20. Thanks for the contest!

Welcome to the forum!
I really like any of the Eagles. The St. Augustus Eagles are probably my favorite design (although I can't afford them) Amazing set there.
I'm under 14 (13)
Thanks for the contest!

I've been a member of AARP over 10 years. Having seen the rest of the set I felt like just giving up breathing.....
Great collection~Great Contest, so I'll wait around to see how this works out.
Oh, MY 1909 lusts after YOUR 1909.

That is a very nice set! Oh, I'm 24, so I guess I qualify for the under 25 group.
I like your 1909-O half dollar the best. The luster and the toning see to come together for a very attractive and eye appealing piece.

My Mood: | My favorite would have to be the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent. I am partial to Lincolns more so because that is the bulk of my collection. I do not have any real valuable ones except for a 1914 D which I have had since I was about 10 years old. We would look thru Grandpas penny jar and this was back in the early 60’s so there were probably lots of good coins we did not keep because we were just trying to fill a penny book so all duplicates were put back in jar. Kind of like our old baseball cards. If we only knew back then what we know now. Great collection tho and something to be very proud of. |

Welcome, the wild thing is I did not know 1909 had SOOO much going on. High grade SVDBs are always cool to me, but I love the 09 s $20 St Gaudens.
What would it be like to even have 1 coin where there are none graded higher????
Awesome set.

Awesome set. | Truely. Awesome. My 09's have been places, bought things (when a penny could) got down & dirty and are not virgins by a long shot!
Yours are like trophy dates! Can you kiss them? I Guess they do it for some but I like grody, not pristine, been somewhere, done something......
Ok, I'm making this up. Can I have some of what he's acquired?
Mine is hubMunched.

Welcome, awesome set. As a lincoln lover,of course the SVDB is great eye candy,but actually the 09s would have to be my favorite of these. I like the tone better and the lower pop in these higher grades.

Under 30 (29yo) Does that count for something 
I would have to say your 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent and my reason is all the controversy over Victor David Brenner's initials being on the penny

Welcome!
I've always been a fan of the Liberty Head Nickels, so without a doubt that is my favorite, though your entire collection is truly spectacular.
I am under 25. Thanks for the contest!

Thanks for the contest. You have a very nice set of coins, but I would have to say my favorite would have to be the 1909 Indian Head Eagle. I have one just like it, but 1908. I also have a couple 1909 VDB cents, but I couldn't get a good picture of them tonight.
