Post a pic of one of your favorites. The one that might be the last to "leave" your colection. Here's one of mine, I have many so I picked this...

1881-CC

beautiful Morgan! I'm clueless to collecting Morgans, so may i ask what condition it was graded, and is it a scarce issue? thanks!

I could post all my Buffs as they are all Cold Dead Hands stuff. But, single coins...I can't see this one ever going in anyone's collection but mine:

Although it has a very low mintage , compared to other Morgans the 81-CC isn't that scarce, esp in highr grades, most were in government vaults for decades, being released to the public in the 60's & 70's

As for grade, the is a grading challenge with this coin here

The Finland and the civil war token rock!

I was expecting a Churchill Crown on one of those links

My first "big" coin purchase, graded coin, and Morgan bought on my own. Still can't get over the blues on that thing. Probably never let it go.

Choose a favorite! Out of thousands???

I'm a rookie to coin collecting, but having purchased my first US gold coin tonight, I can't imagine i'd ever let it go. This is one cool hobby!

how 'bout a Beatles one ounce silver round? that seems right up your alley!

I'm not insane!


Great now new people are already picking on me.

LOL!

That is a problem for me too. It can change on any given day also. Heck, I even had to cheat to respond to the thread. I only posted a picture of one but linked to a couple of others and mentioned an entire set.

One of my favorite series the Belarus Crystal Commems. I'll think of more later.







And life ain't all Beatles, there's got to be some Metallica too.

Now Tiff ya had me on your side until ya went and said that

Yin and Yang my friend.

Beatles and Metallica.

This:



Got drowned over the details of the Column ruble coin.

Well Mine is This 1982 Philippine 5 Sentimo Coin

Something I Picked Up In 1992

Its not the most beautiful piece in my collection, but its got lots of history. They do come better, but they cost several thousand more than I paid for this one and they don't necessarily have any more character.

A Charlemagne denier ca. 800.

If someone said I HAD to sell my collection but could keep 1 coin....
It would probably be a rather common 1928S Walker that my long departed Grandmother gave me When I started collecting.

WoW, a favorite?? Not really sure I could single out only one....but this early US Half would be in the running. With all of its wear...and all of its beauty and all of its history.

I agree its difficult to pick a single favorite. This one's in my top 10 for sure...

What a difficult question! I would certainly want to keep all my Saints, plus this coin:




But then I'd also want to hang on to this coin:




But if I kept that one, I'd surely have to keep this one:




Oh the Humanity!!!!

My favorite US coin so far ... (well, it's one of these two)



My favorite non-US coin is either this one ...


... or this one ...


... or maybe ...


... there are so many, it's hard to pick just one

So hard to pick, but I'll take one from the 1799 column, one from the 1830 column, and one from the 1851 column (that toning has so obviously damaged that cent that I'm sure I'd being doing the Auldfartte a big favor). I guess that would make me a US collector again. (Don't get started, don't get started on that again. Repeat three times.) Very nice coins guys (I'd add all the gals, but it seems the Bunny can't make up her mind. Everyone knows ying and yang is Beatles and Buffet, Harrison and Lennon, Joel and Garcia.)

Now, if there's ever a Jerry Garcia commemorative, just clear out of the way and nobody will get hurt, except for eardrum damage from the sonic boom as I pass.

If I had to pick a drop-dead favorite? Oh, jeez. If push came to shove, the only "cold dead fingers" ones are the sentimental ones--the Morgan from my great grandmother, the large cent from my dad, the Canadian 50c red-tailed hawk proof from a former partner. The rest of them give me pleasure to have them, but they're just metal.

That doesn't mean that there wouldn't be a LOT of kicking and screaming long before we got to the "cold dead fingers" phase.

How can you people actually do this???? Choose between my children??? No way!























Well, maybe this one...

Or this one...

or...

Well, you get the picture.

Speaking of pictures, my apologies for the huge files. I had actually forgotten they were so large.

Beautiful!

I'm not a big fan of gold, but I love this coin...

Oh my ......! I will not collect beautiful bust halves. I will not. I will not. Those are some beautiful coins.

Prefering enigma or history to pretty I'd have to go with my avatar!

Wow, look at how clean the stars are on that '23 - the points show very little stretching - I guess that is an "early" die state??

My newest, so of course my favorite.I didn't think I'd ever get an 1878 but I got it for alot less than cat because of the chops.

Is that baby yours? If so way cool!

Technically it's my Mom's but it resides in my safe.

I'd say it belongs to whoever last changed the combination, then.

Right now I would have to say it is my Syracuse 8 Litrai from the reign of Agathokleos(317-289BC)

Nice half 50cents!

Grade and mint mark? I like the toning.

MS-65 1941D

Usually not into ancients, but that is one way cool VERY OLD coin.

Due to the history, rarity, and cool thickness this remains my favorite coin

Another one of my fav.

Nice coins everyone. I've been trying to think what my favorite would be. Very hard.

Been awhile since I've been around, so thought I should contribute something-- --
I fell in love with this design the first time I saw it--

And the 2 Mark--

Today it might be this one, who knows what it will be tomorrow....

If I had to choose just one:
