Let's get some more coin pictures on these Boards!!!
Post a picture of a coin from your favorite series that you like to collect. If you have two series that's fine too, post one now, and post another one later. If you have a favorite date instead of a series you like to collect, go for that then. Have Fun!!!

Silver WashQs are my favorite series currently. Here’s my favorite.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I’ll stretch to buy one of these when I find a nice Mid-AU example, it would be nice if it was beaned too.
Edit: not really a series I collect, it’s one that I’d like to collect

I can’t say it’s my absolute favorite, but definitely one of my favorites.

One of my favorites for sure. The date in fairly common but the coins beauty is not.

Walking Liberty Half Dollars:
Hmmm.....where does a type collector fit in? Don't collect by date either (yet anyway). Oh well, I do like seated halves and this is my latest in that series.
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
This is by far the scarcest coin in my PO01 to AU58 PCGS grading set of 1895-S Morgans.
This is an exquisite example of the Seated/Arrows type! I just love the color.
I think everyone knows by now Morgans are my favorite series. Here’s the coin that beat out my 1885 66PL in a poll on IG (but I think it belongs better with my toned collection than in my Registry set).
This coin was from my last submission to Pcgs....AU-53
One of my favorites.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
1839 is a special year as the designs changed and the branch mints geared up
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Favorite series Yes, just never said US coinage? I always try to buy Silver Kiwi's (50%) at a good price (bullion cost) - and I like the 3 cent silvers.

I see - always wondered why asked to post a pic of your coin but instead you post a TV pic -
Funny - would really want to see your coin in hand!

This is a definite favorite... and the closest thing to a series I do anymore. ASE's are just a beautiful coin, and I like to now add to the series any special one's the Mint issues. And this coin is super special. Cheers, RickO
Three equally favorite series, so I’ll post one from each.
I have two favorite series, Walker's and Buff's.

Tastes change with time, but my current favorite series to collect is the Modern Clark Gruber Half Eagles made by Daniel Carr and the moonlight mint. Kicking off in 2013, and continuing to present here is my latest addition - the Matte 2014 half eagle (There were a matte and a prooflike that year)
@coinsarefun
Your Gallery Mint 1796 set is beautiful, and honorable mentions to that series/set as I'm actively piecing together a set for myself (only missing the half eagle and eagle currently)
It's all about what the people want...
I love the large dollar size coins!
Here are my three favorite series in order:
Cool thread!

Thanks for a fun thread. Some excellent postings above.
Here is one I have collected from the Double Eagle "series". along with some added narrative:

@1northcoin ... Wow... Your 1850 PR is a real beauty.... I love gold coins, and that one is a really nice one. Cheers, RickO
Thanks. I don't claim mine is necessarily a proof even though that is what it was described as in the 1870 James B. Longacre Estate Sale. Max Mehl in a subsequent auction (before it eventually ended up in the hands of Dr. C.W. Green) had high praise for the coin but he stopped short of deeming it a proof. I am content to agree with numismatic researcher and author Karl Moulton's having identified the coin as a "First Strike" or "Trial Piece."
The one referenced as a proof and offered in my earlier post for comparison (pictured in that post below my 1850) is in a Paris museum. David Hall and others who have seen it in person have described it as a proof. There appears to be a consensus that it is a proof since its origin has been traced back to a special presentation set that was made in October of 1850. Mine is described in the original Longacre Estate auction listing as having come from the first dies and could well be the first one minted given that it had been retained in the personal collection of its designer Longacre.
The first minting of the Double Eagles for circulation was at least as early as February of 1850, many months prior to the Paris specimen's minting in October.
Apologies if that was TMI (too much information.)

@1northcoin - just curious about your thoughts on your beautiful coin. Why not have PCGS grade it?
