Saint Gaudens $20 Type 1 Roman Numerals, High Relief Wire Rim.

 

Look Above...the first year, high relief is a work of art.

 

For LOOKS the Draped Bust of Miss Liberty was the sex symbol of the 19th century and she was on many early coins of a new nation. Many a pioneer looked for a gal like that to keep the "Home Fires Buring" so too speak.

Now MY overall favorite would probably be the Morgan Dollar. A later issue and a very plentiful piece. my favorite issue by far.

Morgan Dollars or 20 Cent Pieces!

That's a very hard question for me to answer for I have many favorites.

Guess if I have to pick just one, here it is...

 

I really like all of the gold coins with the Liberty design... the $10 in particular. There are many that have wonderful designs though!

 

Franklin Half Dollar!!

Speedy

 

The St. Gaudens designs are beautiful, but too expensive for me. Guess my other favorite.

 

My favorite is the Bust quarter from 1796. Liberty is just stunning. But I must agree that all St. Gaudens coins have a superb look to them.

Isn't that the North American version of a Churchill crown?

 

Shiny colorful ones:

 

Morgan Dollars are my favorite

All silver dollars in general after Morgans.
I like the 2005 230th anniversary Marine Corps coin in the modern commemorative series.

 

I would love to get my hands on a bu 1912 s nickel with a PL cameo

Walking Liberty Half, What A Beautiful Coin

 

I would have to agree with midas and the high relief St.Gaudens, but I like the octangular Pan-Pac dollar too, Its just so different!

 

I would say the liberty head $20 gold. The design is pure strength and confidence.

 

Barber quarters:

1. 1913-s
2. 1897-s (mint mark in center not far right)
