I love the Fugio cent. I think the design and the history behind the coin are amazing, can't wait to own one myself.

If we're talking about a series, it would be a three way tie between Buffalo nickels, Buffalo nickels, and. . . Oh yea, Buffalo nickels  . Runner up, Draped Bust coinage, primarily halves. If I had to pick just one specific coin (year/series/type) I don't think I could, but the 1792 Half Disme is pretty high up there, with a great bit of history. |

I don't play favorites. They're like my children. I love them all.

Liberty Cap Gold Eagle if I could afford one! Second choice would be flowing hair and bust coinage.

I think that today I like Capped Bust Halves.
As I get older, bigger coins look better I guess.
