This one:   Obverse - Roma (depicted here in about 20-60AD). Roma isn't depicted like this on other roman coins - this is a coin from pergamom under roman control so is slightly different. Reverse - Youthful bust of the Roman senate - this is what I like, a youthful bust representing a whole class of older males. I have never seen another roman coin with a depiction of the senate. |

The PMD or dirt or whatever it is, made this coin really appealing to me. Combined with the nice thickness of it, makes me feel like it is a pirate coin  .  100 Pesos 2009 Chile |

I am a fan of my Spanish coins from the mid 20th century. When I first started collecting, I did not know about the date marks in the small stars that were present on the coin. When I learned of this, it was like a treasure hunt going back through them all to find out what I had. I also really like my 2012 glow-in-the-dark dino 25 cent coin from Canada.

Specksnyder, what is the tell tail sign of a Henning nickel? is it just the 0.2 gram difference in weight? I had never heard of this coin until I read your post and got interested. Thanks for the spark of interests!

Nope, can't narrow it down to just one, sorry. I am rather fond of the one I use for my avatar, however:   |

Playing favorites gets harder as the collection progresses and the choices increase, but I am still partial to this one: https://goccf.com/t/83399 |

@GR58, I do gaze at the proof half often but I would do the same if I had a 1932 $10 gold eagle. That coin still is on my needs list.

Lots of people with trouble choosing just one coin, maybe we need to revisit a top 12 thread again. I remember threads on 20th century and 19th century but I don't know how to link them.
