My 78/80/80 rev 78/81-85-CC GSA dollars, still in pristine holders with paperwork !!!

LucyBop · December 31, 2002 6:18AM

My favorite coin is my 56prDCAM Frankie that I made from a raw coin. My second favorite is my 50p Frankie that I submitted and it only made a ms63FBL. This coin is as nice as any ms65 that I own, Brilliant and clean.

cosmicdebris · December 31, 2002 6:22AM

Hmmmmmmmmmm! Can you guess?

pmh1nic · December 31, 2002 6:24AM

My early dollars (1795 Flowing Hair and 1798 Bust Dollar) are my favorites for historical reasons. Also near the top of the list would be my 1875-CC Double Eagle, 1845-D Half Eagle, 1939-C Quarter Eagle and my toned Franklins.

I have quite a few coins I enjoy owning but the nod goes to my Canadian Commemoratives.

Color, color, color!

MrKelso · December 31, 2002 7:06AM

An old worn down 1912 penny. It's raw not in a holder and i handle it every day while reading the forum posts. Numismatically it's worth nothing. But for other reasons it is priceless.

coinrookie · December 31, 2002 7:37AM

My 43 D ms-67 fsb Merc. and probably my favorite is a very common coin, a 38 ms-67 Buff. with just a hint of rose toning.

boiler78 · December 31, 2002 8:26AM

Today its the coin I am using for my icon. I am really fond of mini Morgans.

Can anyone guess the date?

FC57Coins · December 31, 2002 8:30AM

hmmm - 1878?

boiler78 · December 31, 2002 8:33AM

nope

EVillageProwler · December 31, 2002 8:42AM

It's too hard to have a favorite, but this is one of them. Parting with it, if it ever comes to that, will be such bitter sorrow!

agfox · December 31, 2002 8:43AM

tradedollarnut · December 31, 2002 9:44AM

A toughie:

73-CC trade dollar in MS65 that I never thought I'd see?
74-CC chopmark in gem brilliant uncirculated?
My icon?

My new addition? Probably, except it's not a trade dollar!

EVillageProwler · December 31, 2002 9:51AM

We're talking about real coins, not the fantasy stuff that exist only in the minds of a few deluded people...

prooflike · December 31, 2002 10:34AM

Right now I have a fondness for the buffalo nickel I am using for my icon, common date 37-d in 66+, wonderful surfaces.

Mojoe · December 31, 2002 10:37AM

<< <i>Wouldn't you rather sell that Frankie to Lucy for say $500! He'll have a good loving home! He's more then a coin in my house Daddy-o! >>

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOMED TO BID. IT'LL BE A BLOODBATH AMONGST RICK AND ONE OR 2 OTHERS TO NAB IT THOUGH.

LucyBop · December 31, 2002 6:13PM

But those squares won't treat Frankie as good as Lucy will! Would you sell a little puppy to a bad owner who would beat it?????

doops · December 31, 2002 6:39PM

<< <i>But those squares won't treat Frankie as good as Lucy will! Would you sell a little puppy to a bad owner who would beat it????? >>

*
THAT'S A CAMEO DEALER'S BEING THE END-USER DREAM COIN. NO COLLECTOR OR "INVESTOR" WOULD GET ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT THEY WILL FOR IT. THEY'LL JUST WANT ...."TO OWN IT"...AND WILL PAY OUT THE GAZOO FOR IT...
*
KIND OF LIKE LEO PAYING ONE AND A Q FOR A 10K TOPS COIN. OK,HE JUST "HAD TO HAVE IT". AND THAT'S COOL IF IT TRIPPED HIS TRIGGER I SAY PUSH THE BUTTON MAN...HOWEVER I STILL STAND BEHIND MY ORIGINAL ASSESSMENT OF THAT SELF BURIAL AS I DID ON COIN NET PREDICTING BACK BEFORE IT SOLD FOR COSMIC MONEY ONCE IT WAS KNOWN TO BE "AVAILABLE". I PREDICTED IT'S TRUE VALUE AT 10K AND EVEN MOST THOGUHT I WAS OVER BY 3 OR 4 THEN AND I ALSO PREDICTED WHAT SOME "GOTTA HAVE IT" FRANK NUT WOULD ACTUALLY PAY. I SAID THEN THE 10G COIN COULD ACTUALLY GO FOR 25-30G+.THAT EVEN IN AN "EXCITED" AUCTION ATMOSPHERE SHOULD ONLY GO FOR 12,500 TO 15G TOPS MAX,CEILING LIMIT. MOST FELT IT WAS A PUSHED UNREAL AUCTION IN PRIVATE TREATY FOR SOME 10K THINKING THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A NEXT YEARS 25-30K TAG ON IT. IN 2 OR 3 YRS FROM NOW WHEN THERES ONLY EVEN ONE MORE OR MAYBE EVEN 2,3,4 OR 5 MORE. THEY'RE ALL WORTH 5,6,7G MAX. + THE COLOR FACTOR ADD A G OR SO DEPENDING.

barberlover · December 31, 2002 9:16PM

wow, how much is your entire franklin/kennedy proof cameo collection wirth? maybe you could addopt me if the doctor who just completed his finest known barber half set with every date and mint mark in 66 or better doesn't addopt me lol!!!

MacCoin · December 31, 2002 9:39PM

lets see, today its my newest an 1803 half cent. check again next moth and it will be something else

asnooker · January 1, 2003 12:22AM

My favorite is an 1882 Morgan. I received it as a reward for honesty. Someone had sent me a very expensive gold coin by accident. I had recently purchased a inexpensive coin from them and they put my name and address on the gold coin by mistake. I wrote to them and sent it back. The Morgan is blast white and almost proof like with"s" mint mark. I loved the coin so much I decided to get an 1882 in each mint mark to go with it. GEESHHHH forget that...have you noticed the price on Morgans lately? It is sky rocketing, especially CC. I guess I'll continue to treasure the one I have, and be saitsfied with that!

fcloud · January 1, 2003 12:56AM

If we are going strictly on the way a coin looks I have to go with my 1923 Merc dime. I love the way the date looks on the coin. It has the open 9 (found on early dates) and a flat top 3 (the only coin in the series with the flat top 3).

Tony

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS · January 1, 2003 1:31AM

Favorite Coin

My 1995 Lincoln cent in Proof 69 D Cameo as I paid 20 dollars for it

I could have outbid the 11 year old girl at $3,000 for the Proof 70 D Cameo 1995 but decided I REALLY like my Proof 69 D Cameo better

Stewart

oreville · January 1, 2003 3:20PM

Stew:

Your quote:

<< <i>........11 year old girl at $3,000 for the Proof 70 D Cameo 1995..... >>

Now, I hope you were kidding re: a 11 year old girl was spending $3k on a single coin?

coincollector1989 · January 2, 2003 2:09AM

Besides all my Kennedy's. I would have to say my 1996 PCGS MS-69 ASE.

what are your favoite coins in your collection?
