That's like asking which of my children I like the best. I'd have to say my two favorites are my 1955 DDO Lincoln cent and my 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent.

(I have only two children, so I'm off the hook naming two coins)

 

US is 1847/7 large cent XF
Foreign is Austrian 25E Silver/Niobium
Former 1793 Half Cent VG10- I would kill to have it back....

 

55 DD Lincoln cent.

 

For me it's this one. It got me into collecting clash die coins.

 

oh so many to choose from, probably my 1916 d merc

 

1883-S morgan in maybe fine. Coin that started it all for me. My wife won in a game in tenneessee

 

My 1961 Franklin proof toner, it was a gift

 

tie between my 1830 Half Dollar XF-45 or 1865 XF-45 dollar.

 

1866 Two Cent piece that my dad bought for me when I first started collecting. G-VG coin that he paid $3.75 for I believe.

Still in the original 2x2. Dad knew nothing about coins but picked up weird stuff on business trips - it's really why I like odd denominations.

I have a lot more coins worth a lot more money than that one but he gave me this well over 30 years ago and he's been gone for years.

When it's my time I plan to buried with this coin in my pocket.

 

1921 Morgan Dollar AU-50. This coin was given to me many years ago by my mother. After my grandma passed away she gave me this coin which was my grandpas who had passed away a few years before grandma. I have many coins that are worth more monetarily, but this is my favorite.

 

my favorite is my 1803 large cent in Vg-F

Draped Bust Coins are probably imo some of the nicest designed coins in U.S. history, and this is the nicest example that I have of one.... for now.

 

Way too many to choose from, lol. Probably my 1893-O morgan my grandfather gave me...although I also really like my 1879-S morgan in NGC MS63PL. Common grade, Common date, uncommon look.

 

common date common grade uncommon look, I have to post a pic...

I have afew favs, but these two do it for me right now...

 

Easy choice for me... I have a strong attachment to the Buffalo nickel. I think it's because the impression is so deep... I love the way they look and the way they feel in my hands.

Anyway, I picked up an ANACS slabbed MS-65 1935 Buffalo nickel a few weeks ago. Cost me $100, so I can only look at this one.

 

Tough for me to choose. I have lots of coins that I would have a difficult time selling. Here's one of them:

 

My most favorite coin is

a PCGS MS 61 1911-P Indian Head five dollar gold piece. I just love the design.

 

Oh, I don't think you'd have much of a hard time selling that one... I'm sure there would be lots of takers.

 

1909 Matte Proof Lincoln PR65RD

Happy 99th Birthday!!
