I voted for the 1935. It was the fist dollar I remember being amazed by. Seeing a blast white Obverse when I was a kid at the starting age of 12 was quite impressive. I still have the image in my mind and the was 40 years ago!

'67. Those nice folks at the mint did the special design with the Canadian Stork just for the birth of little old me. How could I not appreciate it?

I voted for 1935, because it was the first "dollar" that I bought. The 49 is special, due to the ship design.
