Is this US coins only? I would assume so, since it is in US Classic and Colonial Coins section, but thought before it starts, somebody oughta ask. Edited by TNG

I would also say US only since it starts with the 1790s.

Is this for coins in our possession or in general?

Well, I don't have much to choose from for the 1790s, but this Draped Bust (Heraldic Eagle) Dollar is definitely my favorite:   This was the first pre-1800 coin I ever owned and was one of two special coins I purchased in honor of my father, who passed away in August of 2015 [the other one is currently my avatar and you'll see it again toward the end of this thread].

As expected, the bar has been set pretty high. Here is my entrant for the 1790s: a 1795 Cent (S-75; VF (NCS):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

This well circulated 1798 cent is my favorite US coin from the 1790s because it's my only US coin from the 1790s!  |
