Seems like everyone loves the 1794 dollar! Fine by me. I did not want to fight everyone for the nickel.  |

I chose the 1913 Barber Nickel.
I still have an extra hole in my Dansco Album

What? Not the 1804? Think of the resale value. I could get a whole roll of the $10 Beavers that I really want. A whole roll of them would satisfy me for a while.
I already have a plugged, polished and genuine 1795 dollar in my belt buckle. No need for a 1794 too.

1849 $20. If I was really that rich, I'd want the one and only specimen in the entire world. The Smithsonian can come to me when they want to see it. You could fill a bucket with all those 1794 silver dollars floating around.

It's unique because its planchet was the VERY FIRST silver dollar planchet to be physically struck my the US Mint. It also has a unique silver plug inside of it because the weight wasn't correct.

nfine has said it right for me.
None of my favorite coins are in the list anyway.
My avatar might give some readers in idea of where my preferences may lie.
A common St Gaudens in MS-65 or better would suffice.

I'd buy the 1933 Gold Double Eagle since I don't have one for my type set. LOL

I like nickels. So the 1913 it is.

I didn't vote, because none of those items are on my 'want list'.
Also, the value of my collection means little to me. I am just as interested in getting a $1 coin as I am a $1,000 coin to fill a hole in my albums.

I voted 1804 dollar because I like the story, but only the Rama III coin, and not the restrikes. I'm picky about my multi-million dollar coins.
There's no actual evidence that the specific 1794 dollar the OP refers to was the first. Just hype and conjecture. I'm too pragmatic with my millions to fall for hype.
I would not buy a coin that I'd have to hide for the rest of my life and stick my heirs with. The 1933 is out.
I would have picked an 1894-S 10c, but it wasn't an option.

I'll take the 1849 $20. I can sell it and buy several of the other items on this list.
