Eye Appealing Coins in Your Collection - Share a Favorite or two

Catbert

Let's have some fun with some of your eye appealing favorites in your collection. Does not have to be high grade. Share why you find your coins compelling.

I think this coin is unusual in that the green toning surrounds the devices. AU55 CAC

Early copper is always a challenge and I value the orange color and surfaces of this little copper coin. AU58 CAC:

TurtleCat

My newest gold dollar is pretty eye appealing to me…

coinbuf

I am not a big toned copper guy but this coin I like the subtle colors and the luster combination on this one.

I love this simple design and again the subtle color and luster are very appealing to me.

This one looks as close to a 62/63 that I will ever have the chance to own. In hand it looks much better than in the photos.

As with the 1811 above, this piece also looks very nice in hand.

Love the look of that exquisite 54-o arrows @Catbert ! Here's a few of my favs.

While not near the most valuable Buff I have owned, it is my favorite that I still own as are the two Walkers.

The drift mark is distracting to some but I don’t mind.

Your 1838-O 10C appears to be 1838-O 10C No Stars, F-101 RPM

Very nice indeed! 👌

The first one, because it is a unique design in gold. The second for the Naval theme and date.
Cheers, RickO

This bust quarter has some neat reds and greens in the toning.

XF45 CAC - Love the toning

AU53 CAC - Great originality

Perfectly placed chops and beautiful original patina

Unusual to find an attractively toned '59, tough find for me anyway.

And a dark side, but from my "foreign that circulated in the US" type set.

Mr_Spud

I especially like the way these ones look

pcgscacgold

I love those Capped Bust quarters and halves. I really need to find ones like that to go with my $5 1811.

If we get to post a third it would be this one. There is something about a 58+ that does it for me (even though that grade is controversial)

TPRC

A couple of my current favs!

Just back from the graders...1846 Tall Date PCGS VF25. I expected VF30. Purchased off eBay paired with a nice, original 1853-O quarter in Fine for peanuts. A sweet eBay deal from about a decade ago!

According to PCGS Coin Prices, the 1846 tall date went through a bizarre, unsustainable surge in pricing from 2008-2011 and is now slowly dropping to more appropriate price levels. IMO, PCGS Coin Prices still overestimates the value in low and mid grades by 50-75%.

Posted these before but here's a couple of my favorites.
The 82-S came out of an original Mint bag in 1964. The blue spot was the light reflection. I am the only owner of this coin. Can't image if hundreds of them looked like this in that bag.
The 79-S was from a roll I bot on EBAY about 20 years ago when Morgan rolls for sale seemed more prevalent than today. The seller bot the roll in the 70's. The average grade of the roll is 63+. Too bad this reverse wasn't on the 82-S, now that would have been a one of a kind.

A couple of my favorites. The half cent formerly part of the retired Furnace Run Collection, which was #2 in the Half Cents Die Variety Set By Cohen, Circulation Strikes Registry. And the PR66BN Indian cent purchased from @MarkFeld 11 years ago.

Some of my favorite toned coins.

I think he has a Washington that might fit here. 🧐

Here’s a couple of my favorites

This is an 1818 O.109, my pictures really don’t do it justice, it has beautiful blue tones in all the peripherals

This is a 1819 O.107A, thick original skin, and the big die crack off the bust really adds to the appeal of the coin to me.

I’ve had this one for a long time, it is an 1820/19 O.102. I love overdates, and in my opinion, this one is about as original as they come.

Holy WOW, @Floridafacelifter! That chain cent is just amazing!

I love the reverse proof look of this coin's reverse. Straight graded VG08. I am looking for another...probably never will find one!

Lovely coins! I am especially surprised that the quarter eagle grades only 64+
