#1 - 1895-O Morgan Dollar. The story is posted on my registry set. (with a pic of my PCGS AU-55) My most favorit coin in my entire collection. #2 - 1900 IHC. My 1900 IHC was the nicest IHC in the set my dad and I put together back in the late 80's. Has rainbow toning. Super pretty coin. Really need to get some of my IHCs slabbed. Definately one to get slabbed. #3 - 1908 No Motto Saint. My first Saint. Turned her in for grading and she came back PCGS MS-64. Everyone needs at least ONE Saint in their collection. Even if it is a common date.
#1 1853 Arrows/Rays Seated Quarter/Half. I just really love the rays coming out of the eagle. I wish I could afford mid-high grades of both. In time... #2 1921 Peace Dollar. I love the high relief of the coin. I think its one of the prettiest designs in 20th century coinage, even over the $20 Gold. #3 1917 T1 Standing Liberty Quarter. An all around beautiful coin & a shame it had to be "covered" up.
Although not a valuable coin my all time favorite is: 1883 No Cents Nickel, love the Josh Tatum story, I have one with gold imbedded in the recesses. 1864-73 Two Cent Piece, first coin to have "In God We Trust" 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, It has a bare breasted woman.
1842 Penny- Grandfather gave it to me, and its the oldest coin I own 1903 Barber Dime O- Only New Orleans coin I own 1943 S Nickel- Hardest mint to find in my war series collection.
2009 UHR double eagle. A masterpiece of craftsmanship. 1915-s $50 Pan Pacific An most excellent design. 2006 Franklin Founding Father Commemorative. Fugio reverse is rock of ages.
IF I had to choose my favorite it would be my 1914-d (g3) Wheat penny that I received from my grandma, 1984-p DDO Lincoln cent found while roll searching. I just like all my coinsm or else I wouldnt have bought them
I have lots of favorites I don't own. Most I'll never own. But here are three I have I like a lot. Lance.
1955/55 Lincoln cent 1937-D 3L Buffalo 1960-D/D sm. date/lg.date DDO-001, RPM-100 Lincoln cent 3 very dramatic and affordable varieties Jim
1955 DDO Lincoln - One of these days I will own one. 1907 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle - First year, beautiful design. 1915-S $50 Panama Pacific Gold Commemorative - Another beautiful design and the only replica coin I own. Almost forgot, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Ok. Now my top 3 DREAM coins. Coins I don't own, yet. #1 - 1907 High Relief Saint. Truly an amazing coin. Puts other designs to shame. #2 - 1856 Flying Eagle. Always been on my list of coins to get. Ever since I started collecting coins. One day, she will be mine. Oh yes! She will be mine. #3 - 1895 Morgan. Yup. The Proof issue. Even with the 1893-S, I consider the 1895 Proof Issue to be "the King of Morgans." Now, combining the two lists I have posted. My "end all be all list" is as follows: #1 - 1895-O Morgan #2 - 1907 High Relief Saint #3 - 1856 Flying Eagle
#1 - 1910 D St gaudens. one of the few pieces of gold ive had over the years and the UHR just dont give me the same feeling. #2 - 1794 S-22 large cent. since i have more then enough large cents to fill this list ill stick with this one. its not problem free but its still NET F15 so its pretty decent. the liberty cap is a design that has to be the most under appreciated. #3 - 1831 O-105 capped bust half. XF/AU with target toning. it woulda been easy for me to pick a morgan but i think the cbh design is better and theres alot of them with toning just as pretty as some morgans.
' 1) My 1826 Capped Liberty Half Dollar (looks like my grandmother) 2) My 1926 Standing Liberty Quarter (has my 2nd favorite eagle reverse, after the Sac) 3) My 1945-D Silver Jefferson Nickel (MS-60, birthday present in 1980)
1909 VDB Wheat (From my grandfather, If I could get the rest of his coins...) 1879 Morgan (My dad bought me it and it was my first coin) 1838 Large Cent (My mom bought it and is my oldest coin)
Of US coins in my collection: 1. 1795 Flowing Hair dollar - Amazing huge coin from the early days of the mint 2. 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel - I think the most interesting circulating coin design ever 3. 1927s SL quarter - I just like the date for some reason and used to buy any of these I found from vg-vf back when the price break was $5 vg, $20 f, $110 vf, $600 Ef. I just think its a scarcer coin than what it was going for I guess. I like buying coins just at a major price break like that.
Seated Liberty Half- All around beautiful 1794 Capped Large Cent- Great looking coin, my Great Grandpa gave it to me, and it's the oldest coin I own $5 Draped Bust- This coin is at the top of my want list..... It's beautiful, one of our first gold issues, and has Immaculate detail.
My top 3 are 1995 Lincoln 1c a Penny, 1995 Roosevelt 10c a Dime & Finally an 11c 1995 Number One. Number Two Number Three... 1995 Double Denomination 11c with Two Full dates Obverse 1995, 2 Liberty, 2 In God We Trust, P Mintmark, VDB and skull break, DPML in some areas Obv & Rev. w/ Crack die variety , Dime reeding & Plain edge of a cent.-Lastly the 2 Great Pressident Obverse. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:
If it's only coins we own,#1 1881-s silver dollar, I grade it 63DMPL, was my grandpa's then my dad's.#2 1936 WLH, I grade MS64, but it could be a slider, was my other grandpa's.#3 A 1923 Peace I grade 63, Might be the doubed tiara variety, cherrypicked it for $35
