Draped Bust for sure. I only own one really beat up 1800, but I love it.

 

Flowing hair chain cent though I’ll never own one. Some would say it is ugly. Something about the archaic bust of Lady Liberty that screams the birth of a great nation to me.

 

I've always liked the Liberty Cap cents!

 

I like all of them but my favorite of them all is the Draped Bust (1796-1807) design. To me these always appear to be sharply struck as compared to the other designs.

 

I like the Type 1 Draped Bust cents the best. But there are some 1794 cents that have extremely fine hair engraving on the die that are absolutely gorgeous.

 

Not in the condition I can afford them.

 

This is my favorite, because the Chains were first, and they are the only obverses that were completely, individually hand engraved. History and artistry.

 

My favorite is a 1793 Flowing Hair Chain America, Periods Cent (Sheldon 4), for which I traded a tub of Mint and Proof sets and type coins such as Bust Quarters, Halves, and Dollars plus cash from the LCS in the early 90’s. I wanted that coin!

 

lets see it!

 

Okay... You've convinced me: I'll choose that as my fave, too.

 

Definitely 1794 Liberty Caps! I have a special admiration for them, have had it since I was a kid! Draped busts as well

 

I like all Large Cents.
