Favorite coin in your collection?

Hello treylxapi47,

Look at the S mint mark on your 1875-S twenty cent piece. It looks like it might have the RPM that looks like a $ sign.

Stay thirsty my friend. :smile

I dont know about big money, but they cost enough. I think for the 4 coins combined (2-1853 halves, 1877 half, and 1875 twenty center) I paid out around $900 which is think is pretty decent and fair for just the 3 XF or better coins, i consider that 1853 half in VF problem free condition to be a bonus

 

Thanks for the heads up! I'm curious, how did you see that repunched mint mark?!?

I had to cheat:


But good eye my man!

 

Im also looking for a dollar to complete the larger denominations.

I also have a quarter somewhere, i think the picture is over in the Newest Acq. thread

 

Wait until you get to know me.

Please don't encourage him.

 

This is my favorite coin probably more for the "history" than the coin itself. My father gave me this coin just before he passed away. It was given to him by my grandfather and may have been in my family even prior to that.

 

Sorry the pictures are "sideways". I sent this coin for grading a few years ago and was happy to get an MS grade.:smile

 

Nice coin Mr. Dunk. :hail:

 

Thanks for rotating the picture. Looks better without having to tilt my head!!!

 

I have many favorites but as i have posted earlier my most interesting favorite has to be this coin since i didn't even know how rare it was when i bought it, thought it was 1974 issue. What are chances you buy one coin and you find out it is something else

It is similar to 1974 Haiti coin issue but there a many notable differences. Krause lists mintage at less than 150 and this is only 1 have seen to date.


1974

 

Very nice Jack!!!

 

Nother new 'favorite' seated coin




I'm addicted to these arrow and rays. I've purchased 2 halves and quarter this week.

 

Gotta love the Irish! I'm gonna have a couple of domestics tonight. I'm off duty of course so everyone's safe...lol
BTW: Foster's is great!

 

The standing lib quarter in higher grades rates right up there with the most beautiful coins the U.S. mint has ever produced.

 

I get the addiction. There's something about the rays that really sets the coin off.

 

This is the quarter that I'm waiting on. I'm upgrading (is it upgrading to get a better type coin but lower overall grade?) and traded an 1876 P quarter AU-50 plus some cash.

This one is an NGC XF-45 and should sit well next to that XF-45 1853 Half.
