I'm especially drawn to chopmarked and sea salvaged. 1782 must be a more common date. I've tried searching for 1786, since I was born in 1986, and it's hard to find a nice one in a good price point.

I've tried searching for 1786, since I was born in 1986, and it's hard to find a nice one in a good price point. I think it is one of the more available dates. Thanks to the El Cazadore find, that's almost always available as a $110 option. Circulated ones pop up somewhat regularly, and AU-MS come up on the Heritages and other auction houses a couple times a year. So "rare" probably isn't the right word. Of course these are 99% Mexico, Lima, and Potosi. Guatemala is every few years, and I think I've only seen Chile once, ever. Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 05/15/2020 5:38 pm My favorite is the Seated Liberty half dollar series and I collect specific varieties, I currently have about $300 in face value of them. I also like the Capped Bust quarter but my overall favorite would be the Gobrecht dollar, unfortunately that is a pipe dream! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/15/2020 10:45 pm Not many. Four to be exact, that have significant value, and a joy to look at. By that, I mean classic neo classic designs inspired from ancient Greek. St Gaudens Double Eagle MS-62, Gold dollar type1, AU-50, Walker, MS63. Capped bust Half EF. I collect mainly ancients and World coins, although I have about 100 U.S. coins, all before 1964. There are lots of other World coins inspired from ancient Greek designs. Humble British Penny is an example, first used on Antoninus Pius (131-161AD) sestertius, depicting Britannia, but inspiration for that goes back to Zeus on the classic Athenian silver tetradrachm, 600 years earlier.
