Numismatic "Would You Rather"

Would you rather find the 1969 DDO with the worst case of road rash, or an authentic 1943 copper cent that has spent 60+ years in the ground, with extremely heavy corrosion?

3 cent silver better design IMO and +$10,000 you can buy so many coins with that amount. 1943 copper bragging rights

 

I'll take the 10k and offer the fickled finger of fate to TPG's.

 

Yeah......and I'd give 'em the finger too.........

 

A 1984 Headless Olympics dollar or Michael Bolton's greatest hits?

 

Gonna be sick.

 

They both come with a barf-bag.

 

I'll join in I'd take the bent coin the 3cent silver and spend the $10k on raw coins I got no problem buying raw if I can see in hand And as to the headless ilympic dollar and Michael boltons greatest hits both should be holed then bent then bent again and finally melted I greatly prefer listening to iron maidens greatest hits!!

 

Would you rather have a proof 1895 Morgan dollar or a 1794 flowing hair dollar?

 

1794 Flowing Hair. I do have a few Morgans, though honestly they really don't appeal to me all that much. They are a nice classic coin, but I prefer much older silver.

 

1794 Flowing hair

 

Me too on the flowing hair would you rather have a bent willow tree sixpence or a holed 1792 half disme?

 

I take the bent Willow Tree and claim it was used to ward off stamp collectors.

 

Three cent silvers all the way..

Would you rather have an MS 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, or your pinky finger not chopped off to the top knuckle?

 

I'll keep the pinky. I can't do nostril maintenance with a nub.

 

Would you rather have a holed and bent 1856 Flying eagle or this

 

I choose holed over bent.

 

Ill take the holed and bent flying eagle and I'd lose my left pinky I've got 9 more fingers but my current 1795 dollar is only vf

 

Would you rather have a proof trade dollar or a proof Morgan dollar?

 

Trade Dollar all the way. I don't dislike Morgans, but when I look at all the 19th-century pattern dollars, I always wonder why they went with the Morgan - there were so many more handsome designs available. The Trade Dollar has a certain unrivaled classical beauty, and I find its history in commerce much more intriguing than that of the Morgan.
