Favorite Coin THAT YOU OWN

One that I have owned for about 16 years, still very raw(no plastic tombs) and my personal fave despite owning coins that are exponentially higher grades and prices:



One of those pieces that I can actually hold, and feel the heft of it's weight and appreciate that she saw service during the presidency of George Washington.

That is a very pretty piece, and I understand why you really like it.

Treashunt, I hope "Darkside" is also OK?

As many have pointed out, it is really difficult to chose the coins (or coins) which I like most out of all of my collection. I like them all! But if I had to chose, these 3 would be at the top.
These are 1 and 1/2 real coins from Chile, showing a pillar and a volcano - symbols of that long and mountainous country. Beautiful, symbolic coins in my opinion. Much like the FE cent symbolizes (IMO) America.

The 3rd coin I would chose would be my 1794 LC S-24 in case, just because she has such lovely cheeks! therefore aptly called the 'Apple Cheek' variety.

 

Believe it or not....most of my favorite coins are foreign. I really love the obverse of this coin. The deep cameo effect is stunning against the "black" background.

ok... here's one of my favorites. My photographic skills suck, but I will improve with a new camera. BTW, It's a D, and I can't find the pic of the reverse

 

WOWZA! Very nice coin

 

This is still raw and I love looking at and holding it

 

I have a bunch of coins but nothing very high in value. Here are four of my favorites:

1803 Draped Bust Large Cent. I love the exceptionally clean surfaces on this coin. I didn't pay too much for it either!




1829 Capped Bust Half Dollar. I really like the toning, and natural aged appearance of this piece. Picked it up on Ebay at a nice price.




King Hetoum I 1226-1270. This was given to me by an overseas relative when I was a child.




King Hetoum I 1226-1270. Tram (dram). Also a gift from relatives overseas.

 

my 1950 Franklin DDR (Love Franklins)

 

Okay, cool beans of a thread.

 

By far....
