Gem red 1912-S Lincoln:
Uncirculated Pine Tree Shilling pedigreed to 1912:
Choice example of the silver Myddleton Token, one of perhaps 20 -25 known and described by numismatic writers since well before 1912 as among the most beautiful coin designs extant:
Nice uncirculated 1776 Continental Dollar, one of way less than 1,912 survivors in any grade:
Bar Cent in NGC 64, one of less than 19 (and maybe even less than 12) surviving mint state examples, being offered by forum member Anaconda on Ebay, right now, as we speak:
So, which one will it be?

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

PS: I had no idea a 1912-S Lincoln in MS65RED was so expensive.

I'd like either the Continental or the Bar or the Shilling. Hmmmm, let's see, are you sure none of them are circulated? I'd kind of prefer a nice, circulated one. Something in an EF, maybe? No? Ok. Well...can you take a look again and see if you just might have a Fugio somewhere behind the counter? Ok. Ok.You don't have to get angry about it. I was just asking. No harm in that, eh? Well, ummmm, I'll guess I'll take the Bar then, please. No! Wait! The Continental instead. Yes, that is my final choice. Geeez.

<< <i>are you trying to make a statement here? wait til cladking gets here... >>
The statement that I'm making is that for the same amount of money you can have each of the coins shown. As you can see, different people seem to like different ones.
For my money, the Myddleton as shown would be the hardest to replace. The Pine Tree is incredible, if you think about it. The 1776 Dollar is about the flashiest early US coin. And the Bar is just cool. And a Lincoln of that date and mint in that condition is obviously very rare and highly prized.
As for the Lincoln, well... one of these days it will become an RB and I'd hate to be the owner when it happens.
I'd take the Pine Tree,sold my Oak Tree(darn).
- collecting, I would pick the 12s
- investing, I would pick the 12s or Continental $
- speculating, I would take the others
Good luck with your choice (all can be enjoyed).
I love Ike dollars and all other dollar series !!!
I also love Major Circulation Strike Type Sets, clad Washingtons ('65 to '98) and key date coins !!!!!
If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??

That silver Myddleton Token sure is purty, though. Never seen one before......and this one has "the look".
Once again resides with Legend, the original purchaser "raw" at live Eliasberg auction. Laura and i "love" the same lady!
You showed us five phenomenal rarities. Seems like priced all the same is about right. I would probably take the Continental Dollar, but what a choice!

Uncirculated Pine Tree Shilling for me.
I guess I would finally pick the Continental because the design is more interesting and needs a high grade to show the details.
The Bar cent, I would wait for a lower grade.
Pine tree shilling
Continental currency
Bar cent
Myddletown token
Then I guess if I had to I'd take the Lincoln

Actually if it's in a maxed out holder that might affect where it's goin' so it does matter, doesn't it?
Of course it matters if it's maxed. But the fact that it may have upgraded before doesn't mean it's not going to upgrade again.

True and to some degree, very sad, don't you agree?
.....and
oh, and by the way, you'll now only have three coins to choose from as the bar cent has been sold*.
(*subject to actual receipt of funds and acceptance by the buyer once the coin is in hand - i certainly would never try to mislead this
crowd - some of whom remind me creatures that fought the battle in Lord of The Rings - Two Towers - always ready to cut your
head off - just for the fun of it!)
Sad? You don't like to get upgrades?
Besides, even if standards never changed, it's still possible for a coin to get undergraded by two points. That leaves room for two distinct upgrade events, more if you consider the possibility of overgrading.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
