I am asking to hear or see your most favorite, it can be world coins, it can be us coins, any kind of coin...... Thanks Noah have fun posting ps: I does not have to be your coin
Belgium 1832 10 centimes...NGC MS-65 RB a grade rarity, $750.00 Thee King of my collection. he me Roarrrrrrr....
Bust 1/2 MS63 raw. It is currently owned by a great aunt of my wife. Her family can trace it back to a great, great, great something that has owned it forever.
Hard to pick just one, but my favorite coin (that I own) is probably this silver tetradrachm of the Parthian king Artabanos II (10-38 AD), struck at Seleucia-on-the-Tigris:
I'm sure I'll get some laughs but below is my absolute favorite coin in my collection. Many reasons. Certainly not due to its monetary value. (The scuff at 10 o clock is on the holder.)
$1838 $5 gold Half Eagle. Like the one I inherited from my G-Grandmother. Then my house was broken into. And it was stolen.
My most favorite coin is probably a three way tie between these: 1) Trajan Mars Denarius 2) Athens Athena/Owl Tetradrachm 3) Julius Caesar Lifetime Denarius Though if I could pick a whole subset of coins instead of a single individual coin, probably my collection of Constantine I and Sons from the London Mint would win the #1 spot.
My absolute favorite coin type is the US Morgan Dollar. Of the ones I own my favorite is my 1921D that is my pocket piece. I call it my favorite because it is the ONLY Morgan dollar I own that I can actually handle with no fear of diminishing it's value. I love the feel of a silver dollar in my hand
