I agree gbchaosmaster, I think the Walking Liberty half runs a close second for me. After that I guess the Standing quarter and the Buffalo nickel can fight for third :) But the Saints will always be highly regarded, they still use the design- just like the ASE's use the Walking Liberty design. You can't keep a good design down ! |

As far as detail and design, I will have to say the Morgan dollar has yet to be surpassed. My second favorite is this one.  MM |

So many beautiful designs...My vote is for the Mercury/Winged Liberty Head Dime. Outstanding portrait artistry on such a small coin. Along the same lines, I also like the 3CN.

Snooba; I have several of those commemoratives that are amazingly toned. Given that, I agree with you.

I really like the Walking Liberty half, especially the reverse. The Standing Liberty obverse is nice too. That being said, I still have to say the Morgan. |

As an outsider for whom American coins are exotic, foreign things, my votes would go: 1: Saint-Gaudens $20. Hey, it's artistic, and who doesn't like a huge hunk o' gold? 2: For those who can't afford a huge hunk o' gold, my second place goes to the humble 2¢ piece. Simple, elegant, and a reminder that coins can completely lack a portrait of any kind and still look cool. 3: The Leif Ericson millennium dollar of 2000 gets third overall, and my vote as best US commemorative coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Morgan Dollar. If the Saint-Gaudens was silver instead of gold or the Morgan was gold instead of silver I think we know where the voting would lie. However collecting is personal preference and you like what you like even if you can't afford them.

I would have to say the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle first and Walking Liberty a close second.

Well since I just recently got it........ THE NEW BALD EAGLE COMMERATIVE SILVER DOLLAR ! I could NOT stop admiring it ! Man ! That is one beautiful coin fellas and ladies ! I tell you ! Maybe mine would grade a perfect 70 and "deep cameo" I really don't know but, .......(what do they say....one in a hundred proofs will actually grade that or something?) I'm not having it graded at this time, but it is SOOOOOO ATTRACTIVE ! Even if you HATE ultra moderns or commeratives.......GO GET THAT COIN AND HOLD IT........YOU'LL BE "DRAWN" TO IT'S BEAUTY ! IT'S JUST STUNNING ! That coin will put a spell on ya ! Before that ......mmmmm .... I like the Large Cent, 2 and 3 cents, The Morgan OF COURSE ! Luv those !, the Walking Liberty quarters too.....never seen a St. Gaudens in person but it'd have to be up there..... the $50.00 Buffalo is a goot one too !............Sheeeeeesh ! I like toooooo many to have a favorite ! (that changes from time to time !)  Edited by eaglefoot
