Well the favorite is easy and has been shared here too much already. The second favorite..... I have no idea.
Let's say this one. It has a lot going for it. It was designed by my cousin, Cyrus Dallin. It's beautiful. It sports a spiffy gold bean, and it's in a bit of an older holder. Besides that, it's just fun to look at:
Nothing special, I just get a kick out of them both side by side. A 1900 with the reverse of 1899, and an 1899 with the reverse of 1900. (Both transition varieties are pretty much unknown at this point; the main vein of left-most leaf is the major marker, along with corn kernel count)
My one favorite is my 1909D $5 Indian gold, which I have posted here many times... the other favorite coin.. I do not yet own... The $50 gold octagonal PanPac.... Cheers, RickO
The first is my seated dime, which has been a favorite of mine for a while. The second favorite changes on a weekly basis it seems, as of right now it's this 1829 bust half that I purchased raw recently.
I've put more thought into it. When I was younger, the 1921 Peace dollar was a coin I've always wanted to own. I was captivated by the high relief design. Once I started working, I finally bought myself one. For a long time, my 1921 Peace dollar was my favorite coin.
This might weem like an odd choice, but I wanted a 1795 half dime in the worst way when I was in my 20s. I finally got this one, and I have enjoyed it ever since. It is a V-10, the most common of the ten varieites. There it would not be a huge deal for many collectors, but it was a bit of a milestone when I bought it many years ago.
The small eagle that appeared on the first U.S. gold coins in 1795 was the last design I didn't have in my type set. It only appears on the early half ealges and eagles. Since I purchased this piece first, and it is in a higher grade than my 1795 $10 gold, it is my favoriite.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
This one is definitely in my top two, have to see it in hand to understand why - the luster is just great. Here is a quick video click to the right to see the reverse video:
Apparently I've done a good job getting similar type coins cause out of all the rest in my set I don't have a clear favorite so I'm going with a dark side one that I love as #2:

Probably these two-1913 matte proof and 1916-D MS63. I love the color on both.
It's impossible to pick just two.
These two are in the top 10.

Have lots of favorites, but these are probably the top two at the moment!

Half dimes, 08 and 10 respectively.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Flowing Hair and Capped Bust coinage, when it gets right down to favorites by obverse design.
By reverse design a perched eagle means the most, as favorite goes, and followed by the "eagle in flight".
Cannot pick 2. Good thread topic.
These two will do nicely!!
My top two one Buffalo one Beaver

Super coins all!
My main focus is the early commemorative coin series so I'll pick two of them:

The first is my seated dime, which has been a favorite of mine for a while. The second favorite changes on a weekly basis it seems, as of right now it's this 1829 bust half that I purchased raw recently.
I don't own any particularly rare or valuable coins. But here are my two oldest US gold & silver:

Now that is a tough task.....but these two would probably be them:

Only really collect Swiss these days for the long haul. These two are pretty hard to beat.
