these are some sweet coins you all are posting. winesteven - your buffalo is so flashy it doesn't even look real. those are great pictures of that excellent coin! this is probably the best looking coin in my sheldon set. a lot of my sheldons are low grade or ugly. S-276   its harder to pick a best middle date. many of these coins are attractive. today I like this one. N-10   |

I believe the request was to post the most beautiful coin in your own collection, not what you believe theoretically has the most eye appeal. Well then, I bought this coin back in 2013 because it looked so beautiful, and over the years I've had it I never really disagreed. Not that I would call my eye particularly well-trained, admittedly. Unfortunately no straight pics, so you'd have to deal with a bunch of unsightly ancients around it... I could swear I've made some better pics, but I'm not sure where they are!   1907 IHC, with a giant rim bump by the date (but the green bit on Liberty's neck is just lint). Not exactly worth much in this condition, but that cameo-esque toning is soooo pretty. |

If I'm allowed a second post, here's one of my Large Cents in my Dansco 7070 - MS65+RD w/CAC. Bought as a 65RD, but I loved it so much, I sent it back to PCGS via Reconsideration. They agreed with me, and added on the "+". The Seated dollar is PR64CAM w/CAC. As you can see, a few faint hairlines kept the grade from being higher. If you stare at Miss Liberty long enough, you just might see her slowly turn her head to look at you, lol.   Steve A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!

I think you're allowed as many posts as you have beautiful coins in your collection.  Great looking coins y'all. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

In my opinion, this is the most eye appealing coin in my US coin collection. Just love those pretty cheeks on Miss Liberty! It's a pity these pictures don't really do her justice.  |
