I’d like No.22, the 1895 Indian Head cent. I’m a real sucker for “mystery items.”

Thank you @lordmarcovan

#23, I am a real Barber nut.

I can never decide if I prefer the dimes, quarters or half dollars.

I can still remember getting a strange 'foreign' coin on my paper route.
Later reading of the Red Book, taught me that it was a Barber quarter.

Thanks for an amazing contest.

 

#13 #6 would be the Zoid's choice.

I mean, what an enigmatic number, coupled with a dateless coin with a design reminiscent of exonumia created a century later in the US, what's not to like?

*See reason on CU . . . .

#16. Really neat that it’s a Mexican Colonial silver coin.
Thanks

 

#6 for the reasons given on the other side of the street. Should I repeat them here?

I'm destined to never win one of these for myself . . .

How about #4? I'm always looking to expand my humble ancient coin collection.

 

Entry Post.
I'll pick
31. United States: silver proof Washington quarter, 1962
Because it's purdy.
Actually, I don't have a proof and like this one.

 

ENTRY POST- Thank you for doing this. It's fun.
19. United States: copper-nickel Indian Head cent, 1860, Type 2; Rounded Bust variety would be my first choice because I'm missing the early ones- 59, 60 and 61 (and the key dates) in my album and was hoping to find them this year, but with no in person shows and prices being high on fleabay, I've been postponing trying to get them.

 

#36
Goes with my nickel and quarter broadstruck coins. I try and collect one type of each error for each denomination. Need an Ike dollar broadstruck, if anyone has an extra.

 

WOW!! Choices, choices!! I've been sitting here for about 20 minutes trying to decide what I would like to win, if given the chance.
My 1st answer would, of course be, EVERYTHING!! But, as I scrolled up and down on the page, my eyes kept stopping on #14, the Spanish 2 Reales! For three , 1. would just be its overall appeal to me; 2 would be that it would be the oldest coin in my collection; C. Somewhere in a box in my collection room, I have a set of fake Spanish coins that I bought years ago when I moved to St. Augustine, FL, so I'd like to be able to see the real thing!!
Thanks for all the fun Lord!!

 

I lived there for 20 years, from 1985 on, then moved to the Louisville, KY area for awhile, moved back to St A for about 2 years, now I live in Jacksonville. If you have been to St. Auggie since the 70's, its wayyy different now!! Not necessarily in a good way.

 

Ah!! Cool!! Maybe when all the virus stuff cools down we can meet somewhere for lunch!!

 

I used to live in that area myself, and St. Augustine was a little too touristy and commercialized for my taste. I'd take Fernandina Beach any day over St. Augustine. Nonetheless, St. Augustine usually has a twice-a-year coin and currency show with a decent variety of vendors. If you haven't been, I'd highly recommend going whenever they host another show.

 

#2 Seleucid Empire: bronze Æ18 of Antiochus IX stands out for me. I do not own any ancients, just modern and for some reason this one being BC appeals to my interests the most of all the selections listed.

 

Entry post. I like...#10. Hungary: silver “Madonna & Child” denar of Maximilian II, 1577-KB I like this because of the hammered coins tibor sent me. Thanks for the contest.

Gucci has his black paws crossed for me....meow....

 

I saw your December "swap list. "

I'm half tempted to "break the ice" and finally pick up a piece or two from you, possibly breaking a few other hearts along the way . . . . .
