[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1964942, member: 4626"]If you exclude commemoratives and insist on it being a coin I actually own, I guess my favorite is my 2005W 1/10 oz gold proof eagle, partly for sentimental reasons (it was a very unexpected gift, and the first gold coin I ever owned). Among coins I bought for myself, I'd say my 1877-S Trade dollar (AU details, chopmarked) just because I love the history you can sense in it. A close runner up would be my somewhat damaged 1835 capped bust half, for the same reason. If you're going by an entire series, it would be my JFK halves, because that's the coin series that first got me excited and interested in coin collecting (that, and Lincoln cents, which my grandmother got me started in collecting, and when I first actively started collecting). If you don't insist I actually own it, I'd have to say the St. Gaudens double eagle. I know that's a cliched answer lol, but hey, there's a reason it's a cliche. Just look at it.[/QUOTE]
