Which one would you choose, and why ????

[Schatzy]

The Plain 1922. I love error coins.

[cpm9ball]

I'd opt for the '09 simply as a short-term speculative issue. With the redesign for the 100th Anniversary approaching, it may attract a feeding frenzy at auction in the next 6-18 months.

I am not a Lincoln cent fancier.

 

Therefore I vote rarity, and the 1922 Plain with the strong reverse in strict MS is a very scarce coin. It gets my vote.

I think that the '22 plain cent, 3-legged buffalo, etc are all farce coins produced by bone-headed mint workers and hyped by dealers and album slots.

 

So, obviously, I prefer the '09 S VDB

[Dwaine]

Which of these two woule you prefer. Both around 5300.

[Just Bob]

Without checking mintage, populations, etc., and judging solely by the pics, I like the look of the 1870 better.

'77 key date

 

Chris

[Schatzy]

I would choose the 70 because I don't like the look of the 77.

[Oldtrader3]

I would take the 1877 RB over the 1870. Better looking coin, better color. Not so scarce, but famous for low mintage.

[Just Bob]

O.K. I'll play.

Which of these Morgans would you choose?

 

Each sold for $300.

 

 

[Dwaine]

8TF - lots of VAM's and the first Morgan.

[Schatzy]

8TF, I like the look of the coin, I don't know if I would pay $300 for it but still love the look.

[showcase4]

8TF - lots of VAM's and the first Morgan.

 

yeah....what he said

[cpm9ball]

Yes, there are lots of VAM's listed for the '78 8TF, but this particular coin is not the first design used. The first design had small feathers at the base of the wings. Later on, the reverse was redesigned removing these feathers as shown in this specimen.

 

However, I'd take the 8TF, too! The '78-CC has a certified population of 5,800+ in MS64; 1,500+ in MS65 while the '78 8TF has a certified population of just 1,500+ in MS64; 500+ in MS65. In those same grades, it is estimated that the CC outnumbers the 8TF in total population by 3-to-1.

 

Chris

 

I just noticed that I quoted stats for different grades, but I would still take the 8TF for much the same reasons.

Both sold for $126,500

Which one would you choose, and why?

[rrantique]

I like the Buffalo I am a Buff person.

[cpm9ball]

I'd take the nickel, too, but I'd give it to Hoot so he could pay for some of his med school expenses.

[CarolinaCollector]

the buff...

[rrantique]

The CC , Bob.

[RI AL]

I vote UHR here to. It's a distinct type and I don't expect that there are many out there that are as beautiful as that one!

OK Coin guys...let's try this again, and see if we can get this thread going,,,,,,it will only survive if YOU help contribute, as I'm busy hangin' out in the Comics section.

Both sold for $138,000!!! at Heritage.....which one would you choose, and why???

[BillJones]

The Chain Cent ... That would be a nice upgrade from my VF-30.

 

The 1932 double eagle would not fit in my collection at all. A date and mint set of double eagles is WAY beyond my financial means.

[dean1345]

I would take the 77' which is the key to the series. I also like it's toning.

 

Dean

[showcase4]

I wonder which one TomB would choose???

[Mark T]

Both of them because I can !!

Seriously I would take the Chain Cent because of the History and age of the coin.

As much I love the 1932 the Chain Cent has more character.

 

[MikeInFL]

The chain in a milisecond.

[showcase4]

Both sold for $149,000 within the past 2 years :o

which one would you choose, and why ?
