yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 9:17 pm British Sovereign St. George fighting the dragon. Is their one that is more of a (worldwide recognized and prolific) classic than this? Report this Post to the Staff

I applaud you for getting to that joke before me. Maria Thaler is a coin and it has a nice backside. I also have a friend named Maria, I wonder if it runs in the name.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 11:02 pm I think it's odd that we all call the Indian Head Nickel a Buffalo nickel and yet it's really a Bison and it's on the reverse, not the Obverse. So is it my favorite? No but I thought I'd just stick that one in here anyway. Never really gave it a thought though as to which I like better in any coins. So few people really look at the reverses.

Silver Star New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 06:54 am Really like that British sovereign reverse. But I sure do like my Morgan $ eagle too. A classic, simple design that I never get tired of grading. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 11:17 am One of my favorites. I'll let you figure out what it is if you don't already know: "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 11:41 am Since it bears the date, is the British sovereign above really the reverse? Always wondered. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 12:09 pm I think it's still considered the reverse since most consider the side with the ruler's portrait to be the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 8:49 pm Best:- St Gaudens Double Eagle, with motto. The best overall coin design in the whole of numismatics, over the last 2,600 years of World coinage history. The motto below the eagle helps to balance the design to achieve complete perfection. The obverse design also has to be in the top 5. The design the St Gaudens $20 is the main reason why I had to have an example in my collection of World coins, that covers from ancient to modern. Runner up:- Walking Liberty half, but only in MS grades. A failing of the designs (both sides), is when they are worn, a high ridge develops as the wear progresses, and tends to dominate the design to the severe detriment of the overall eye appeal.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 8:59 pm The bulky, benign image of our eagle on this coin suggests nothing of its fierce and determined face and nature. Report this Post to the Staff
