    What's your Favorite coin?

    I'm new here so I'm not sure if this has been posted yet. (tell me if so)

    Anyways i was wondering what people's favorite coin is, whether or not it is is your collection.

    I really like the Flying Eagle cents, but do not own any yet.....
    My favorite coin currently in my collection is probably one of my Morgan dollars.

    Yes it has, by me, but it's okay. My fav is the 1937 D 3 Legged Buffalo.

    My current favorite coin is a beautiful, rainbow-toned 1943-D Mercury dime that a local coin shop has in its display case, just waiting to be snatched up (I really need to make a move on it soon), of which there are currently no photos.

    My favorite coin that I own is a 1958-D wheat penny that I actually just received today from my father. It has been sitting in a tube along with 40-odd other pennies for the past several decades, and when it came out, it had some gorgeous toning that I am urgently trying to photograph. It's unlike anything I've ever seen on a copper coin (which isn't hard, considering I have very little experience with toned coppers).

    My favorite coin is probably my 1881-S Morgan Dollar. It was the first coin that I bought as a "collector" back in the later 1990s and I still love it. It's a nice MS example with a hint of PL features...nothing overly special, but it has a special place in my collection.

    My favorites are the proof ASEs. They are large, pure silver, reasonably priced, and very beautiful! My second fave would be Morgans. I'm not into small coins that I can't see.

    I don't have a favorite single coin. Or even a favorite type really. My favorite collecting area is old large coppers, though.

    My Favorite

    My favorite is the 1879 Seated Liberty Dime. Getting harder and harder to find and undervalued for the mintage and amount available in the market compared to some others.

    My favorite coin in my collection is a Battle Creek Morgan Dollar that I have dubbed "the pink eye dollar". Here is a photo taken by Brandon Kelley--Polaris Numismatics.

    I have several Conder tokens that I enjoy, but this has to be one of my favorites (these pictures are from Todd Pollock):
