If You Could Have Any US Coin What Would It Be?

Holy molly, if I had that I'd keep it for a couple years then sell it! Perhaps the site meant 173,000 dollars.

Not sure if I would pick that exact coin, but I do really wish we had gone with the LIBERTY PARENT OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY motto. E PLURIBUS UNUM is great and all, but it's just stolen from an ancient Roman salad dressing recipe.

 

It would have to be this 1794 Flowing hair dollar. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-coins-auction-record-idUSBRE90O06120130125

 

I like olive oil........keeps me young.

 

A 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent. The BIG one! In MS70! I'm rubbing my magic genie right now.

 

That is quite possibly the most hideous obverse on a coin I've ever seen. Is she wearing hoop earrings? You know what they say about women who wear big hoop earrings...

 

Off the top of my head...

 

Nope, not a clue?

 

Believe with only one choice, I'd narrow it down to an 1895 Morgan proof or a $4 gold Stella.

 

I just pretend she's black......love black ladies with big hoop ear rings.......kidding aside.......a classic indeed.

 

Ehhh, if I HAD to SUFFER through someone giving me one, I think this'd do it. Yeah, why not...

1796 DBSE Quarter dollar, PCGS MS67

 

1794 Flowing Hair Dollar. I love, love, love the coin and it also goes along with jeffB's approach.

 

Jeff is probably correct with the mistake. Just the other day I noticed a Franklin variety had been priced as/linked to the coinfacts of some super rare gold coin after an auto-bidder jacked the price up to over retail.
However, the idea of someone purchasing it for pennies on the dollar is much more in the spirit of the thread. If it were me, that coin would be on the block at HA or GC ASAP.

 

As a native of one of the few cities (and the first chartered city after Independence) to be honored with a commemorative coin, a 1935 Hudson half dollar, would be quite nice.

 

1 cent, 1793, strawberry leaf, NC-3.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 1849 Liberty Head double eagle.

1933 Double Eagle, because I like the folklore and always wanted to see the US Supreme Court in person.

I had a similar thought process. I'd love if this was legal (only for me though, not the govt). Imagine the paperwork to deposit it in a bank!

If I ever win the lottery, it will become my life's goal to find and liberate this coin from its' current owner, with no real regard to the price:

 

1794 Dollar like Skyman has above

or maybe a 1852 Assay Office $50 gold
or maybe the 1915S round/octagonal Panama-Pacific $50

I just can't pick one ...
