[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2519582, member: 1892"]There's the Mickley-Crosby SP67 (the one they call "The Coin"), but 66 is the highest MS grade one has achieved. I couldn't list one "favorite" design, or even one favorite US issue. The SLQ and WLH would be in the top tier, and honestly the ASE deserves a spot too. It enrages me to think the Mint can produce such a fabulous design and then inflict dreck on us for everything else they do. The Heraldic Draped Bust belongs in the conversation, and anyone who doesn't include the Pan-Pac $50 is broken. :) There are half a dozen different Thalers which easily qualify, as well as much of Britain's 19th Century issue (I'm weak for the Gothic Crown too, Longnine009). Mexico's 1921 Dos Pesos - if you can find a good strike - is the equal of any of the above. You get the idea. I'm gonna stop typing. :)[/QUOTE]
