    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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).

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