What are your favorite Cents and Nickels? I'm partial to the Flying Eagle cent and the Liberty Head Nickel. My second favorite nickel is the Buffalo.

What are your favorites?

For me you can't beat the 1793 cents of all types, Chain, Wreath, and Liberty Cap.

Here is one I saw lately, coming up for auction at Stack's. It's very nice for an AU-50, but the planchet flaw on the reverse prevents a higher grade.

I'm also partial to flying eagles. I wish I had more. I also really like the IHC.

The nickels, the 2004/2005 Westward series were very well done. I added them to my bison nickel book.

If am going to stick with the classics, where this topic exists.

The Indian Head cent and Buffalo a.k.a. Bison a.k.a. Indian Head nickel.

They make a good pairing and I keep them in the same custom Dansco album.

I collect Jefferson nickel varieties, but for pure aesthetics, you can't top the Buffalo nickel.

I cannot claim to have a preference for cents.
