    I have many,like most of us collectors do
    but if you had 3 coins in your collection that you like the most,
    which would they be ? doesn’t have to be the most valuable.

    Picking my top three favorites is next to impossible. So, here are three of my top favorites.

    This was my first Capped Bust Half Dollar. They seller said they had it in their collection for over 50 years.

    One of the only known picker tickets with an image of the fruit being picked.

    A very rare token, we're talking like maybe five known. I was very fortunate to find a Missouri trade token collector with a duplicate he was willing to sell!
