My favorite is the 2016 national park service clad.  I sent mine in and it came back pf69.  I really wish it would have come back a 70 just because it’s my favorite.

For me ? It would be a Bavaria (3 mark) Ludwig 3 KM# 1010 …. Very very rare so no 3 mark collection would be fully completed without this one , I’d have take a loan out just to get it … HA !

1872 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-1195, Pollock-1335, Low R.7

 

William Barber's Amazonian design with Liberty seated, facing left, her right hand touching the head of a spread-wing eagle, sword in left hand. Thirteen stars are on the upper portion of that side with the date below. The reverse has a reversed variant of the eagle seen on the obverse, denomination below, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around much of the perimeter on that side. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.

 

Many students of U.S. pattern coinage consider the Amazonian design, which William Barber created, to be the most beautiful design ever created for a coin. It was a mere 18 years after they were coined that the Amazonian name first appeared in the catalog of Lorin Parmelee's Collection sold by New York Coin and Stamp in 1890.

 

A roster of at least seven different examples appears at USPatterns.com, clearly indicating that there are many rarer pattern issues, but few that are more desirable. Two of those known examples are in museums, one at the Western Heritage Museum in Omaha, from the Byron Reed Collection, and the other at the ANA Museum in Colorado Springs, from the Harry Bass Collection.

Yep that’s it. I have the book on it written in both Polish and English. The 80 is coming up at auction soon. Have a million to spare?

We have 5 rescue cats of different ages and ailments. One was rescued from wildfires (lung issues). One has an amputated tail from an opossum encounter somewhere near here. The others are adopted from shelters or found as kittens abandoned and taken in by me. The one you see in the back is Bo. She is a 10-year-old female that was and abandoned in a store parking lot as a runt by her mother cat. They are all avid coin fans.
