The 20 cents - because it's an odd denomination and I'll always go for that  |

I collect 25 cents primarily,I would like the 1888 but it would look out of place in my collection of VF-EF,the 1906 I already have and $1200 won't get the 1905 I need,so I chose the 1858,a coin that could stand alone with the 25 cents,and one of my favorites.

I like large cents because I'm into it now.

The 1858 coin - odd denomination, oldest coin.

If I had to choose...I'd probably go by mintage. Haven't checked them all. As Glenzy has discussed, lower mintages have better potential. |

I've got to pick the 1948 Silver Dollar, as I own a MS-62 1948 Half Dollar, but I do not own a 48 Silver Dollar, and I neeeeeed one, really I do.  ~ Jim |

Better than this one?  Why I'd love one. My vote. Since nobody else took it. |

I'd pick the 20 cent. They are in short supply in higher grades. I'd be tempted to go for an AU-55 over a MS-60 though, as it will probably look better. Second choice would be the 1948 dollar, simply because it's an icon. With all the '48s out there though, an EF/AU example would be nicer to own.

I'd never spend $1200 on a coin I couldn't see first, no matter whose slab it was in.
But then, I've yet to spend $1200 on a single coin I could see, either.
So, since we're being entirely hypothetical, I'll go for the "1888 half dollar"... because I don't have any Canadian 50¢ of that design. I'd have voted for the 20¢ too, but I've already got one (though of course, not in that high a grade).

I voted for the 1936 50c coin. I like the 50 cent pieces and that would be the nicest King George V coin in my collection. Although right now the nicest one I have now is only VF30.

I'd go for the dime- Anything Victoria on MS-64 is wonderful. The small pieces are little gems.
