    A Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter would be at the top of my list.

    No way to chose only two. In no particular order (behind the Peace dollar, of course):

    Peace Dollar - both sides
    $20 Saint - both sides
    $10 Indian - obverse
    Buff Nickel - both sides
    Sac $1 - obverse
    Oregon - both sides
    Pilgrim - both sides
    Columbian - reverse
    Merc 10c - obverse
    Flowing hair / Small eagle
    Walker 50c - both sides
    SLQ - obverse
    3CN - obverse (severely underrated)
    Ike/SBA - reverse
    No stars seated half dime & dime - obv

    Sorry, guess I like most of them. :)

    Except for the SBA & Ike reverse, they’re all >90 year-old designs

    Strange, nobody has said 2c or shield nickel. :)

    Not claiming that these are the most beautiful of coin designs, but they are among my "favorites" given that they are mine. :)

    I am glad no one has chosen any of the dead president coins. From cent to half dollar they have been minted since 1909, 1938, 1946, 1932 and 1964.

    The dead president coins need to die and be replaced with something else that represents the best aspects of the USA.

    Liberty for example.

    Really. Our modern coin designs, along with paper money designs are hideous compared to older coinage and paper designs. As for paper, put a real gold certificate greenback alongside a newer bill and compare.

    One thing to remember is that sometimes the eye appeal makes all the difference in the world.
