I am still trying to get my head around the "investing in a coin" idea, let alone what coin it would be.

Thats a tough decision. While a 1878 8TF in PF would be nice, a 1950 Franklin in PF Dcam would be awesome too. I could list several more but those are the first two that come to mind.

Actually I couldn't come up with an answer. The reason is why would anyone want just one coin. Sort of like a sword collector with only one sword. Or a car collector with only one car. Even a Beanie Babie collector needs more than one.

Well its a highly theoretical question, lol

But I really like the 1/10th oz AGE, they look great, and are small enough to be very liquid-able.

But I do love those Gauden double eagles, I just cant justify spending that much on a coin... I usually spend a couple hundred dollars at a time...

That's an easy one.
1847 Gothic Crown Undecimo

IMHO, I think this is as close as you can get to perfection on a coin...

Owning only 1 coin doesn't make a collection

So I wouldn't be able to pick just 1

Wow, that is a stunning coin! Is it sterling silver?

High grade 1911 S Lincoln, RED.

High grade Buffalo nickels - higher the grade and the more common the better.

High grade Washington quarters.

Go Thunder - yep it's sterling. GB Victorian silver coins were silver. I should also post the reverse. It's a shame that they go for several thousand dollars, or I would own several of them...
