What is your favorite coin?
don r asked:
My favorite coin is the 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar. My next favorite is the 1921 Peace dollar, and after that, the modern Silver Eagles. I like Walking liberty halves, Franklin halves, then mercury dimes. The 1964 silver Kennedy half is a beautiful coin. The coin I collect the most, lately is the nickel, since it's solid and not clad- crap-cartoon money. The penny is my least favorite, not for its low value on face, but it's general low quality bronze on zinc which will rot away if left on a windowsill. My favorites will be all put aside for my great grandchildren.

I get a kick out of, when I meet an immigrant, showing them a Morgan Silver Dollar. I got a silver 1967 Mexican peso in for $3, and I enjoy playing with it. I'd like to get my hands on a Bavarian Euro.

My favorite coin is the penny!! Haha I’m serious! They are so small people accidentaly drop them and then I and 1 c richer!! Haha
Yeah I remember the day I got my 1st morgan dollar I got it for my 15th birthday from my mother, a 1900 in pretty good shape. Then there was the steal of a deal on a 1947 canadian 50 cent piece with a maple leaf by the 7. I remember scouting it out the weekend before at a local flea market then riding my bike into town just to buy it. The best moment for coin hobby was the day I bought my first gold coin a 1887 S Liberty half eagle bought it for 160.00 canadian with 10 indian head pennies and a coin magazine to seal the deal. I still got them all pull them out of the safe from time to time.
Walking Liberty Halves (1916-1947) are my favorite coin. Adolf A. Weinman had an eye for art, as he also created the Mercury Dime (Winged head ) design.
