Out of all the coins in your collection, which is the favorite?

If you were on your death bed and could take one coin with you, which would it be? For Weimar White, a well-known chemist and numismatist, that coin was a gold piece from the Carson City mint. What is it in your case?

I couldn’t even begin to think about that.

 

I think it would be this one because I just think it is a beautiful coin and tells a piece of history.

 

I have more expensive coins than this one, three times more expensive but I choose this one as it brings back my childhood and it's gold!

 

These 2

 

My favorite in my huge collection is the only gold coin I own.
It was a coin I won 10 years ago in a CoinTalk competition.



I had it graded by NGC

 

this coin with a Chi-Rho on the helmet

The coin that will go into the cremation jar with me is a dateless Standing liberty Quarter given to me by my Oma three days before she died. James

 

Tough choice but maybe this one. If there's a heaven, I could share it with grandpa again and say thanks. Not the most valuable, but I've always thought how the George VI maple leaf coins came about was a fun story, and I used this one to prove that specimen dies were also reused for circulation coins. Grandpa would appreciate how much enjoyment I got from his coins.

 

I NEED one of those in my collection!

 

I'd take my icon for here:

 

I don't know which ones I would take but I do know I would need two, one on each eye to pay Charon the toll for the ferry to cross the river Styx.

 

I'm thinking of coins in my collection that always get a couple extra seconds when I run through them.
This is easily one of my top favorite coins. I love the look of it.
