[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 998097, member: 26729"]I don't [B]know[/B] the correct answer. The question is phrased like there can be an opinion, but there really can't. There is a factual answer, I just don't have it. As U.S. coins go, there have been some great examples of rare and valueable coins mentioned. I would also like to throw into the mix 2 others: The "Half Union" $50 gold. If I recall, there were only 2 of those made, and only one survivor, at least in private hands. The "Stella" $4 gold. There is one version that had only a couple minted. The Stellas that were minted in greater numbers were handed out to members of congress... Most of those turned up later in D.C. brothels! :D [B]Edit:[/B] Pics... :D [IMG]http://www.coinlink.com/News/images/ha_half_union_fun_09.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.blanchardonline.com/images/coins/post05as.gif[/IMG][img]http://www.blanchardonline.com/images/coins/post05bs.gif[/img][/QUOTE]
