For me, it would be one of the following: a) Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle b) Rhodes AR Didrachm. Head of Helios three-quarters right / stem of rose with bud on right  c) Great Britain Crown, St. George Slaying Dragon  Edited by Windchild

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:   |

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.
