    I thought this would be an interesting question. If you had the opportunity to receive any three coins which ones would you select.I know what i would select, and value has nothing to do with it SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT :confused:

    1) 1955 double die The KING
    2) UNC fugio cent
    3) A MULE

    interesting question

    That's a great question. Mine would be:

    1) 1974 aluminum cent.

    2) 1913 Liberty nickel.

    3) If the coin can be hypothetical, I would like a 1939-D Jefferson nickel in MS-70. If the coin must exist for this exercise, I would settle for a nice MS-67 or 68, preferably with full steps.

    Not that I'm greedy or anything.

    Wow, (readers ignore answers, since they already know).

    1) 1892 O micro O Barber half dollar, MS-anything.
    2) 1894 S Barber dime, PF-65, or better.
    3) 1901 S quarter, MS-65


    and, since I had money left over from selling my 1804 silver dollar, I'd add the 1913 S and 1896 S Barber quarters and a complete set of Gem unc dimes and quarters, heck toss in the half dollars and I would still have a ton of money left.

    BTW Jazz, I don't know if everyone knows what a mule is. A mule is a coin with mismatched dies. I personally have never seen one, but think that they are ultra cool. Check this one out that sold in 2001. The mule is the king of errors IMO.
