What's your favorite year for U.S. coins (and why)?

1893---Morgan dollar, and Barber half, barber dime in s and o, Columbus commem. Isabella commem. Good year overall.

I just have to go with 1793, Chain cent, Wreath Cent, Strawberry leaf, first Liberty cap and the first half cent. I can't afford them all, but I sure do like them!

 

Any year silver coins were circulating was a good year in my book.

"Here's your change, an ugly circulated Federal Reserve Note"

vs

"Here's your change, a brilliant uncirculated silver coin!"

 

I go with 1921 -- 2 big dollars and the old NY Giants beat the Yankees in the World Series...

 

1853 - only year with rays on the seated coinage (type 3 w/ arrows & rays) Iove the design

 

1922 (because I feel sorry for it).

 

LOL. That's how I feel about 1816...a really slow year for coins (only the cent was made - 1922 at least had a dollar along with the cent).

 

My vote 1795 they made all denominations except quarters there's both the draped bust and flowing hair the liberty cap copper and gold all designs I love 1796 was a close second cause of the great quarter and halves and the no stars quarter eagle (all of which I can't afford)
