What a tough question.
For me I would have to say silver eagles and the different stages of the large cents. About ten years ago the national coin show came to where I was living and a few family members took me down to it because it would most likely be the only time I saw something like it again in my life. I walked around in total amazement and fell in love with so many things that I had never seen before. About half way through the day I noticed that there were two booths that I kept walking past and finally decided to buy something. From the first booth I bought my first silver eagle and from the other one a 1847 large cent. I had a tough time the rest of the day not to reach in my bag and keep looking at them. As I look back now, I wish I had a lot more money and understanding for coins and bought everything I saw.

For me, nothing beats the Morgan dollar. I'd sell everything else to buy these beauties. I'm addicted.    |

I have resisted posting in this thread; being in the Classic US Coin Forum means choosing a favourite classic US coin design. Everyone (should) know that I am fond of the Eisenhower dollar, but it is a modern US coin. I have reviewed my 7070 album several times now and have decided that these three coins make me smile the most: 1847 Large Cent, 1867 Two Cent, and 1881 Three Cent Nickel. I'll let Prethen decide how to rank them.  |

I really like the Barber obverse, the early silver small eagle reverse is really cool too....

My favorite classic coin design is the 3CN. The funny thing about this, is I have yet to own one.

Hands down the complete coin obverse & reverse. My avatar speaks for my choice. She walks off the coin and the eagle soars above with an ever watchful eye! Standing Liberty quarter ptb |

I must say, I rather like the depth and detail on the obverse of the 1887.

These are all beautiful. I really like the Texas Commemorative also. Some people say the 3-cent silver trime is ugly, but I find it fascinating and wonderful. People called them fish scales in the day, but I would prefer to call them fairy mites, like widow mites, but just kind of fantasy-like, because it's just a star, and what looks like a crescent moon on the reverse.

I love the Buffalo nickel also. I bought a guy's whole collection. I had to have it! I think I got a good price, but I don't know, $550. There were quite a few he didn't have such as the Type 2 1913s and the 1914D. But he had some pretty nice pieces in there, and if I bought them individually, I'm sure I'd have paid plenty! They are cheap, but they sure are nice, and I think they'll hold their value VEry, Very, well. |
