What is everyone's favorite obverse and reverse of a coin? It does not have to be the same coin.

Mine are, Obverse: Barber Head Reverse: My avatar Capped Bust Type Half Dime
Rest in Peace

Great Question...! It took some time to think about this one. For a half dollar I chose two dollar designs.

Obverse: The Flowing Hair of 1804

Reverse: The Gobrechht Dollar of 1836 w/ the stars in the field.

Let's see, Obverse is the Liberty 5c, with the Barber coming in a close second , reverse is the Walker

Great question!

I like the obverse of the Bust Dollar with the reverse of the 1866-1876 Double Eagle.

Buffalo nickel obverse and Buffalo nickel reverse---NO politician and no eagle and the design is an absolute classic in my book. There are other coins, both front and back, that I absolutely adore, such as the Morgan dollar, but I still have to go with the strictly American design of the buffalo/Indian nickel on this one!

Obverse is a toss up between a Walking Lib and St. Gauden. Reverse would have to be the Heraldic Eagles.

Well, for those of you that know me, this one is a no-brainer! Just check out my avatar... My second favorite obverse would probably be the St. Gaudens $20 gold, and second favorite reverse might be the Peace dollar, but I'll have to think on that one!

ME


I got home from work and found an envelope in the mail from Littletons

It is a Tee shirt with Obverse imprinted on the front and Reverse printed on the rear.

Note included says that I was one of the winners from the FUN show drawing.

so now I am my own favorite coin

Yes, I am already flipped and should be stored in an airtight-
any more cute comments welcomed!
