Nickelsearcher posted two of my favorite designs. I really love the capped bust and the flowing hair as well.

My favorite I own is this one.

IS that a double die obverse, Yokozuna?

cipster, that is a very cool die clash, don't think I have ever seen one that distinct!

My favorite is the Walking Liberty. Here's one of mine:

It has one of my favorite depictions of the American Eagle. These coins are definitely pocket-sized pieces of art.

@ 55Raymo

I really like that half dollar you have there. Seated Liberty is probably my favorite series. Here is my favorite half from my collection.

My favorite is hands down the Columbian half. I think it is just a combination of it being the first commemorative, celebrating Columbus the man who "discovered" America, and the fact that it has a ship on it. I am a sucker for coins with ships.

I am going to borrow an image from Rusty's Coin Sniper vault to show my favorite one.

A very close second is the Walking Liberty half. As a whole the walking liberty is my favorite coin design.

If things go right this weekend, I will have a "new" favorite half dollar to post.

If things go wron....g...I will come up with something.

BTW, the afore-presented coinage is a really nice representation of the CCF and I am certain that there are more to follow!
