Well I have never seen one for real but I like the ultra high profile
first double eagle St Gaudens but I fear the price is a bit steep
( 20 000 dollars like MS62 ?)So any nice MS St Gaudens will do

My second choice has not been mentioned yet
The 5$ olympics 1988 goddess of victory Nike which I got at 19% discount to goldprice 3 years ago

I like all the half dollars, anything that is gold, lol, Mercs, wheats, etc. I am working on Franklins at the present time though, and also RPM cents. So that is my Two Cents, lol.

I think after completing a Peace dollar set I will work on a Buffalo nickel set, so inspite my listings above, the practical aspect is what I can afford and try to build a set of; though I ranked the Morgan dollar and the St. G above the Peace dollar and Buffalo nickels I do not forese the possibilty of putting together a set of either of these; expecially when I want to get all in at least BU or better.

Ah shucks! We have created another buffalo hunter quite by accident!!! Hopefully he lives way out west and it will only affect Old Dan's hunting!

How about the Capped Bust series, particularly the Half Dollar?

The most attractive US coins are in my opinion:
1: Oregon Trail Half Dollar - Both the obv. and rev. are stunning
2: Type I Standing Liberty quarter - The type II is one of the least attractive to me, I find censorship ugly!
3: Walking Liberty half dollar - Far nicer than the Silver Eagle, too bad the mint couldn't copy the reverse of something nice instead of the "Afterthought Eagle" it presently uses.

The most beautiful coins in my opinion are

1. The Morgan silver dollar

2. The Walking Liberty half dollar

3. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle.


The Indian Head Quarter Eagle is a gold coin that many collectors take for granted. I like the design because of the fact that its an actual indian represented on a gold coin.

The Morgan dollar is a coin design classic.

The Walking Liberty half dollar is self expanitory.
