With value being equal, what first year of issue coin would you own?.

SethChandler · April 24, 2003 8:20AM

I'd go with the 1794 Dollar, the first silver dollar. Especially Mr. Cardinal's MS64.

I would go for an 1865 3 Cent Nickel in PR68DCAM.

1837 Liberty Seated Dime....simple but elegant.

1795 Turban Head ( Plain Eagle Reverse ) $5 gold piece in MS65. An unreachable dream for me but, I`ll take one if some charitible person gave it to me for free.

It`s my most favorite US coin.

I'd have to say the 1793 1/2 cent head left. Only because I have one

In my opinion, the best 1st year of issue is the Amon Carter specimen of the 1794 dollar. It is struck from the same die state as the copper pattern, AND it also has a silver plug. Go to the NGC web site to read more about this fascinating specimen!!!

Additionally, this coin is gorgeous. What more can you ask for an ED enthusiast? I'm willing to bet that Mr. Cardinal will agree that the Carter coin is the most fascinating 1794 ED.

Agreed about the Amon Carter 1794 dollar, but also:

I have the 2nd-5th trade dollars ever minted. Each has the number designating the coin inscribed by hand above the eagle's head and the set came with a letter from H.R.Linderman to a friend presenting the coins. I'd love to find #1!

mdwoods · April 24, 2003 9:44AM

Chain Cent, a MS65 would do.

Or a 1793 Liberty cap cent in MS65.
