<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1578081, member: 36864&quot;]My favorite coins are my favorites for many reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; 1943 XF-45 Mercury dime.&nbsp; Given to me by my grandmother when I was about five, it was the first coin in my collection and will never be upgraded, that coin is perfect in my eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. 1879-O Branch mint proof Morgan dollar.&nbsp; Left to me in the will of my old friend Jack Lee, who, in my mind was one of the greatest collectors of all time.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. 1913-S MS-62 Barber quarter.&nbsp; My most recent purchase, and the coin that completed my 20th century set of US coins cent through dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. 1893 PR-65 Liberty nickel.&nbsp; No special reason besides that it is just jaw dropping gorgeous.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. 1861 complete seven coin proof set.&nbsp; The set that started my love of proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. 1837 PR-63 half dime.&nbsp; A richly toned example of the mere twenty or so known to exsist.&nbsp; From my Great Great Grandfathers collection.&nbsp; That coin is not for sale at any price.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. 1856 PR-62 Flying eagle.&nbsp; A favorite of any collector including myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. 1881 J-1671 PR-64 Liberty nickel pattern.&nbsp; My avitar coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>9. 1922 PL Peace dollar.&nbsp; Raw, but it is the only really brilliant proof like Peace dollar that I have ever seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>10. 1916 MS-63 Standing Liberty quarter.&nbsp; Really not one of my favorite coins, the toning is a bit ugly and I hope to upgrade it soon for a whiter example, but I paid way too much for it not to be on the list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
