This is a far more comprehensive list than the last one, I've tried to include everyone's favorites. I consolidated the australian Lunar series down to one entry, so if you prefer any of the lunar series over the other coins than you can just vote for that series. Also include your reason, whether it be cheap(I mean relatively cheap, to mean cheap in price would be laughable with current PM values), historical value, or appreciation of the coins art. If you want make any suggestions, that's where I got many of the new entries.

Hmm.. the Libertad does have boobies on it. But I do like birds. Nah. I have to go with the Maple Leaf again. I think its the nicest of all those designs.

Why must I have to choose only one? Arrg! I'm horrible with choices. sleep.gif

I picked the Aussie Kooks. The early years are alright, but the recent years have been IMO stunning. I especially like the 2008. The bird has the most mischievous expression on his face, with his head cocked right at the person looking at the coin. I find it charming.

I also love the classic look of the Canadian Maple Leaves, and I really like the direction the Chinese Panda coins are heading as well. That thick rim framing the coin, with the legends over it remind me so of the 1797 copper cartwheels of Great Britain. I find that look very pleasing. biggrin.gif

First of all, only a cat would be after a bird.

Second of all, it was a tough choice between the kook and the maple leaf for me.

Libertad!!! Hooray for boobies!!! (actually the obverse design was based on the old gold 50-peso obverse, which was always a classic beauty in my mind!).

Maple Leaf forever! rockon.gif

Libertad is the second choice.

Victory is better than Liberty
