favourite coin in your collection?

These are a few of my favorites.
It's very hard to pick just one.



The dark brown cent is a "Booby Head".
The lighter colored one is a "Silly Head".

My favorite is an 1806 Draped Bust Half Dollar that I recently bought from 900Fine for $350.
It's my oldest coin, minted when Thomas Jefferson was President.

 

Awesome coppers.

 

as i have already posted my favourite coin...if i had to pick one coin from history it would be this one, the Victoria jubilee shield shilling..






one of the UK's most beautiful coins ever.

 

All nice coins everyone is showing, but nerarities, I have to agree, those are quite special. Congratulations.

 

A coin for every mood

My Avatar coin is a beauty, but I don't have it - YET! Another favourite is Wilhelm II of Germany 1903 20 Mark. I don't know why, but I even speak to the guy when I'm out of sorts! Crazy, eh?


The most beautiful artisticly in my collection is a Rupee Shah Jehan, but then he had good taste bulding the Taj Mahal...



A third I got just a week ago. It's minted by the Livonian Order in Riga, Latvija & the special about it is that the Grandmaster and Münzherr that minted it is my ancestor.


And by the way, Hartberger is wonderful, but I prefer Numis because I must be able to take the coins in my hands & touch them. Just looking through them covered with plastic makes me loose interest. Can I hold them in my hands they are just beauties!!!

 

Most likely this one



Then again...





Hmm.. decisions.

 

wow traz ... gorgeous!!!

those must be worth a pretty penny!

where did you acquire them? (auction? dealer?)

i think i like the 1/2 dollar best ... but wow ... tough decision.

 

Thanks! The Silly Head was rejected by PCGS as having "altered surfaces" so I picked it up very inexpensively. It looks much more natural in person.

 

I dont have pictures of mine, but it would have to be my Stone Mountain Half.

 

Most likely this one!

Hmmm.. decisions.

 

Probably my most expensive, but also one of my top 3 favorites... 93-S PCGS AU-55

 

My favorite coin is actually one i picked up yesterday. It's an 1880 Morgan. I've posted ads on craigslist advertising that i'm trying to buy morgans and peace dollars. A older man called me yesterday to ask if i'd be interested in his 1880, and i said i'd love to check it out. I went over to his house and we got to talking, it turns out he and my grandparents were next door neighbors many years ago. I got all the silver dollars i have with the exception of this one from my grandma, so it was just really cool to happen upon one from someone she was very good friends with; not to mention all the stories he was able to tell me about her and my aunt, uncle, and dad when they were growing up. I would attach a picture but i only have the camera on my iphone and it just doesnt cut it lol.
