<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 8241, member: 941&quot;]Tough question. I believe it is difficult to compare the coins from different eras.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would have to say that, of the coins circulating today (21st Century), I would pick one of the state quarters - Maine, Mississippi, or Rhode Island. From the 20th Century I would pick the work of AA Weinman - the Walking Liberty Half Dollar or the Mercury Dime. From the 19th Century, I would pick the Trade Dollar. For the 18th Century, the choices are a little more limited so I&#039;ll just say I draped bust design.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those interested, check out <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com</a> for some wonderful pictures of the different designs and facts about all U.S. coins.
