what is your favorite dollar coin? would you consider doing a dollar type set?

[michael]

myself it would be really cool to do a dollar type set

 

and then get the same date gold dollars for type too and the dates of the gold dollars to match the dates of the silver dollars

 

now what is your favorite dollar design

 

here is a sexy civil war era dollar coin

[BankNote1]

That is a super Seated Dollar that you have there! What grade is it?

I like the Morgan Dollar.

[James_OldeTowne]

Without a doubt, it would be the Continental dollar. But that doesn't lend too well to a "type set"....

would you consider doing a dollar type set?

 

Why, yes - yes I would!

[TomB]

I like the Gobrecht dollar the best, by far. To me, this is what Ms Liberty should look like when seated, not like the contorted seated Ms Liberty we see on subsequent coinage.

Oh, I forgot ... I agree that the Gobrecht is my favorite. I like the version with no stars obverse, stars in the field reverse.

superb to me this continental dollar would be the first dollar coin in the dollar typeset it is just as american and moreso american official than any usa fderal coin and is needed to complete a type set of usa dollar coins

 

fantastic

i would love one but i might be only able to afford a really low grade corroded holded coin but genuine

 

mmmmmmmm

 

i will have to look for one

 

 

i agree with tom b the seated would have been great with this gobrect

 

 

and this coin is graded pcgs proof 63 cameo

 

it is on the edge of deep cameo and also in many ways it has the looks of a higher gradec coin and the eye appeal of a gem ocin witrh just some modest hairlines in thew field keeping it from a higher grade for such a lege coin

 

it is the best proof 63 ui have ever seen and a one in a million pf 63

 

this coin would be like having a full red well struck vermontisium sun over the mountain cent that is totally original and unmolested but it has a weaker strike and a slight planchet flaw at the plow i could live with it because of all the other great thingsa about it and it adds character and just does not take away from the coins desirability or resale value or rarity

but overall does not matter to me overall in many ways the look of the coin is gem

[Hoot]

Beyond a doubt, the 1794 flowing hair dollar is my favorite. That said, however, the starred reverse Gobrecht is unsurpassable. Combined with the no stars obverse, that Gobrecht pattern is superb. And though it may be a tad blasphemous to utter in the same pargraph, I am rather fond of Peace dollars, but they hit my "favorites" list after the Scott's bust, small eagle reverse (third place for me).

Hoot: please note that the 1836 name on base no stars obverse, stars reverse Gobrecht is NOT a pattern, but rather a circulating coin. It comes in two alignments [coin and medal] - one for the late 1836 issue and one for the early 1837 issue.

[Hoot]

Thanks TDN - I really meant "pattern" in a generic sense - should have used type or subtype. Thanks for the info anyhoo.
