Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 720559, member: 13650"]You know what I voted.    I use an 8" buffalo nickel (reverse) mouse pad at this computer.  The sunken aspect of them allowing for that high relief give them a special place in my book.     My avatar is my rose toned MS-66  1938-D/S.   It was the only set I worked on when I was into coins as a kid.  I used to go to the coin shop with my dad or my grandfather and they'd get me a couple for the album now and then.   I ended up selling the set in H.S. for something.  Didnt think I'd ever collect again anyway.  I don't remember what I had, but I do remember I was within 13 coins of finishing the set.  I'd hate to remember what I sold it for.  One of the stupidest moves I ever made.     So, I started another set this year in an IS album and I've gotten some nice ones for it.   It's an important set to me to finish.   I love them.  And it's a relatively easy series to learn how to grade.   For second place I like the Liberty heads.   They're one of the nicest uncelebrated coins out there.   Still don't own one but that will change.    At a respectable 3rd place, I put the classic Jefferson.   Well struck ones can be impressive.   For the updated versions, I would have rather seen them change the design to something entirely different and just go with it.  Non-Thomas Jefferson.  Change to something.   That'd be too imaginative though.[/QUOTE]
