Liberty Cap Gold Eagle if I could afford one! Second choice would be flowing hair and bust coinage.

I think that today I like Capped Bust Halves.
As I get older, bigger coins look better I guess.

Capped bust half dollars. Why? They are old, have a classic design, they are silver, and are big coins. And they are generally cheap compared to other types for the same condition. Before bust halves, large cents appealed to me the most. I drifted away from large cents because they tend to corrode and have a darker appearance. I also find silver has a greater intrinsic value as opposed to copper. This was my first capped bust half purchase. There may be some struck through foreign metal on the reverse between STATES and OF, and a bit under 50 C. You can see the metal in those spots are starting to corrode unlike the rest of the coin.   Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

The 2 cent piece. Simple design, gets the job done without unnecessary verbiage.

That's a tough question, they're all great. Currently I'd say Morgan dollars but that will probably change. |
