I'm taking this question to mean coins that I have, not coins that I'd like to have.
Based on that my three are:
1856 Flying Eagle (mine is an S-3 variety in MS-62)
1907 Augustus St. Gaudens' High Relief Double Eagle (mine is AU-50)
1793 Chain America Cent (mine is VG-10)

Oh boy, it for me is a tossup and equal to... 1) Morgan silver dollar, 2) Anything Seated Liberty, and 3) Indian centsThis doesn't count, but any other coins minted in the 1800's  ... |

The sets I am working on are: Buffalo nickelsDraped Bust Cents / Half CentCapped Bust Dime / Half DimeAn honorable mention to 1882 Indian cents. If $ was no object, the 1882 3cent, quarter, half dollar, and Trade dollar are dreamed for. Draped Bust Dimes and Liberty Cap Cents are beautiful coins I would love to work on a set of. |
