Fun Poll: You can have one of these 8 coins for free. But they're all Details/Cleaned

I have put together a list of real coins that are certified and have been sold or are still for sale. The catch? They are all cleaned/details coins. You as the collector need to pick which one you would like in your personal collection. While being cleaned hurts the coins' value, these are all still worth a pretty penny. Also, the poll is not about picking which coin is the most expensive, but which coin you would want. If you want to know the retail prices on these, just ask me.

I would take the 1877 Indian cent only because that is a hole in my album I am likely never to fill.

 

1877 IHC because like most here, I don't have one either.

 

I'd be super curious about the Barber half dime.

 

Teasing aside, I'd go for the seated dollar - I still don't have any coin of that type.

 

I'd probably go for the seated dollar as well.

 

Didn't see a Stella there. 1889CC Morgan all week long and 5 times on Sunday.

 

I'm joining the Seated Liberty Dollar club.

 

I'm more curious about the 1903-O "WH/LT" dime. What the heck is WH/LT?

 

I appreciate all the interesting replies so far.

As far as what WH/LT means, I'm not really sure. That term is not something that I added, but was just simply in the coin listing. I always assumed that it translated to White-Light in the description of the coin appearence. Hope that helps.

 

Seated dollar for me.

 

Another seated dollar vote. I am a seated fan anyway. But I was fortunate to be a collector before all the label snobbery. Most of my "top shelf" coins have problem labels and it doesn't bother me one bit.

 

I picked the 1872 dollar, since that's 100 years before the military sent me to Kodiak Alaska for 2 years, and also when our first child was born. He went on the plane with us at 3 months old.

 

1802 half cent, mainly because it's the oldest on the list but also because I don't have any of these or the large cents.

 

I would not mind receiving any of these for free! I picked the Seated Liberty dollar simply because I don't have any seated liberty dollars. I once was given a free 1877 Indian cent with a dig in it that was almost a hole. I appreciated it very much.

 

Post a link to the listing and perhaps we can decipher it. I've looked at thousands of listings for Barber dimes (and many others) and have never seen a coin described as "WH/LT." Out of millions of coins in Heritage and GC archives, a search for that returns 0 results. I'm going with something made up by a seller.

Like others, I don't have a seated dollar nor anything from CC, so I'll pick that one.

 

The 1872-CC is my choice.
