I would have to go with the Gobrecht dollar. Currently I own none but I do have some Gobrecht style medals coming from the LSCC by Dan Carr.

One beautiful coin.

The St. Gauden's is an obvious choice, but I think I'm going to have to go with the Walking Liberty design found on the half dollar and the ASE:

Bacchyus2, WOW, that coin has such an intricate design that one needs time to absorb all the detail, fantastic.

The at the top of my list would be the Saint-Gaudens High Relief $20.


Not sure why so many say the Morgan silver dollar but not the same design for the Dime, Quarter and Half Dollar?

Size matters

I prefer the the design of a barber half over a Barber quarter, even though they are the same...

And I didn't appreciate the chinese panda design as much until I held a kilo panda in my hands....

Bacchus2 & CaptainFwiffo,

Those coins are so over the top. A very busy design that takes a little bit of time to digest. I have never seen either of these until today. The wow factor is there. Thanks for sharing.

Easily the Gothic Crown. For U.S. coins, I'm a big fan of the Peace dollar.

More of a bullion piece than a coin, but I think the Phillip Nathan designed Britannias are the most beautiful modern numismatic pieces. The 2003 is my favorite:
