I love them all, but I suppose the first out of the box (or dies) is my favorite....

I couldn't possibly choose, but I can say the Barber coins are not on my list.

Kennedy is also uninspiring, but I do love the coining of the presidential seal on the reverse.

I bought a replica of a Flowing Hair half dollar, just to appreciate the beauty of the original, uncirculated coin.

This is not the original target, but it fell within the scatter of the blast;

This one appears to have spent some time in an old album and picked up some nice edge toning.

A fun bump!

Not sure how I missed it the first time.

This was one of the first not-cheap holes I filled in the 7070. Still holds a special place in my heart.

Never seen this thread before! Lovely 1827 and great circulation cameo on that Barber!

My favorite among the half-dollars in my collection is probably my Pilgrim commemorative. I love the design and the associations with England!

Since its been 5 tears since I posted to this thread, I will post a pic of a new favorite. Following is my 1944-D WLH that is the "hand engraved initials" variety. Very cool variety in what I think is the most beautiful coin design.
