It's been a fun year for me. Found this site and really kicked off my collection. To pick one, like many have said is a tough task. But honestly I think for me it's this one. I bought it from a member on here and it seems to always catch my eye when thumbing through the collection. So if I had to pick just one from 2014 this would be it.
Not because I particularly like Lincoln, or favor commemorative coins. But because of the relief of the coin, with a bold design, dirty and well circulated just how I like my coins.
Was a conservitave grade!! Love it! mine f details enviro damage. I could see this easily grading clean on the right day the black spots worse in the pics then in hand
Don't want derail this great thread... but always like to see the centered bust 1795. The adjustment marks on the lower reverse give it some character too.
I'm 2/4 on the 1795 dollars lack the off center bust and the three leaves. Love them early dollars especially original ones like yoursbut lately been derailed by trades. Bought 8 of them this year including 2 proofs including the 2 I posted earlier.
This is my favorite coin from 2014. Bought it raw, sent it to NGC, came back VF20... I thought it was better than that but at least now it's protected. It's a 1806/5 Drapped Bust Half Dollar
