Top Ten U.s. Coins Of All Time

Conder, that's a great list, although I might suggest different one for the 1943 steelie and Roosevelt dime. How about the 1792 half dime, and Isabella Quarter?

top ten U.S. coins by collectability

Lincoln Cents
Morgan Dollars
Mercury Dimes
Jefferson Nickels
Peace Dollars
States Quarters (even though I personally abhor them)
Buffalo Nickels
Franklin Halves
Roosevelt Dimes
Ike dollars

 

I agree the Roosevelt dime is weak but I like the steel cent being in there. I'm sure you noticed that my choices are more for their historical importance than their monetary values.

I considered the 1792 half dime but I wanted the list to be of coins and not include patterns. The 1792 half dime has a lot of interesting history behind it, but I don't consider it to be a coin. Although I have to admit that on those grounds the 1804 dollar is shaky since it is a bit of a stretch to call it a coin.

 

RLM's Cents

Probably on your want list.

 

What in the world is this ?

 

They might be on my dream list, but they are way beyond my want list. There is only ONE of each. I have only even seen the 1919 and the 1926-S (pics only). The 1926-S went for $150,000. I have no idea what the rest sell for.

 

Thanks GD, I guess we live and learn. There seems to be no end to the errors that are being found. I never heard of this GM give away, was it only in the East ?

 

These are the ones you plan on buying in Long Beach?

 

I thought you were going to buy them for me. If you don't, i will not go with you!

No, it was nationwide.

 

What year ? Should I go out and buy my Cherrio's ?

 

The year was/is 2000. I doubt you'd even find an unopened box from that promotion anymore. I wonder how many people actually pulled a Sac out of one of the boxes and threw it into a drawer somewhere or spent it.

 

AJ maybe you should go with me instead

 

Actually unopened boxes do still show up on eBay from time to time.
