Michael,

 

Do you have children? If so, would you be able to pick a favorite child?

Currently, it's this one: 1810 but it changes at least once a day, sometimes more!

[Wihlborg]

Michael,

 

I agree with EVP it is hard to choose. But I would have to say that my current all time favorite coin in my collection is a NGC MS-65 Missouri silver commemorative that I recently bought. It is blast white with great luster and has one of the strongest strikes I have ever seen on a Missouri!

 

The Missouri issue is also one of my favorite early silver commemoratives.

 

Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of it yet because when I bought it there were some scratches on the holder and the dealer offered to send it back to NGC to be reholdered for me. As soon as I receive it back I will post a photo of the coin in my registry set.

My 1915 indian $10 in AU-58 is my fav. (but soon to be replaced my a G1$.)

[Wihlborg]

Hi Klectorkid,

 

I really like the $10 Indians also. I think they are a beautiful design.

[Klectorkid]

Yes they are an awesome design second to only the saints. IMO

[jtryka]

Ahhh...A YN after my own heart!

[michael]

wow great responses! also evp you hit the nail on the head!

 

but i can tell you steve

if my adopted son ever came back and we could see each other on a regular basis

 

and maybe we could do something like a karate business he would like to do as he is a black belt

and i could handle the business side

 

if i had to make a choice between him and the coin thing coins would lose out! unfortunately this for the most part will never happen but i guess miracles sometimes do happen

i guess only time will tell!

 

 

and also guys that 1810 half dollar is a totally undipped original coin with great toning and that missouri .....wow

 

the gold indian and the gold $ are really great!

 

wow keep up the good work

 

all this positive energy i hope it will spread!

arg wrong name

 

huh?

[jtryka]

I said it before KK, you did very well on that eagle, a true beauty no matter what the number says on the holder!

[mrkelso]

Hey KK

WHat would it take to seperate you from that indian?

[Klectorkid]

It would take a ms-63 indian $10 to seperate me from my little beauty.

[jeh46544]

My favorite coin I own is a 1964 PF68 cam 50C. It's beautiful!

[bigd5]

I'd say my 1849/6 half dime in a pcgs ms/63 holder with attractive rose and blue rim toning. PCGS can call it whatever they want, the coin is a 64, and there aren't a whole heck of a lot of them slabbed that nice, and mine is pretty, to boot. Let me think about it for a couple of days......I'll change my mind.

[satootoko]

It's a darkside, so I don't dare post it here.

[jtryka]

Come on Roy, share it! We don't mind a little mixing of light and darkside if it's a favorite, just don't try to convert anyone!

 

PS-How do you date Japanese coins? Must not be very good with conversation!

[berylcoin-migration]

Today I'll pick this album toned Seated Half Dime, but tomorrow it could be my purple toned Merc or my Flying Eagle cent.

I have a lot favorites, but my 1792 half disme tops the list.

[MacCoin-migration]

[BOILER78]

Gotta be my newest addition

[jtryka]

that is seriously cool!

[trozau]

My favorite ...

 

[Nysoto]

This is a very difficult question to answer!

 

My current favorite is an 1805 Overton 107 half dollar PCGS AU50. This is the "small 5" variety, which Walter Breen speculated that a quarter "5" punch was mistakenly used on the obverse. A large cent punch might have been used, in my opinion. This coin was previously in the collection of Douglas Noblet, I contacted Mr. Noblet, he obtained the coin in 1995 through a Boston dealer that I am trying to locate.

 

This is the finest known 1805 O-107, validated through my contacts at the JRCS and BHNC. There are perhaps only five that exist in XF and above, this is the only one in AU. It has semi-proof like surfaces that indicate a very early die state, and is in an early PCGS holder. Currently listed as an R.4, I believe this variety is an R.5 as they are offered about once a year at auctions.

 

I do not yet have the equipment to post a picture of the coin, but you can see it at as lot 303 of the January, 2003 Bowers and Merena Rarities auction, in the B&M archives.
