[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5295415, member: 115909"]I don’t want to exclude anyone so if your favorite coin is foreign feel free to share :). On that note: American history stretches back to the 18th century and there are even coins from prior to that like the Oak Shillings and stuff and I will count those as American if they have an American design like how the Oak Shilling says “Massachusetts” on it. This one was minted in 1652 which is over a century before America as a nation was born but it was commonly used in what is now America among pilgrims who eventually became Americans so it counts. (picture below). My choice is the Turban Head $10 Gold Eagle. I think it’s a beautiful coin with a lot of symbolism. It got a lot of criticism in it’s day due to the Eagle looking “weak & scrawny”, but at that time America [I]was [/I]a weak & scrawny nation. It’s just a beautiful coin. :) Your turn!
