Value aside, what's the screamer you're happiest to have?

    This is an interesting question, as I have a few coins that didn't sell at FUN. The interesting part is that almost each of these coins, I'd love to keep; there was left, a beautiful alabama, a pop1 Albany, a Grant w/star that is very rare and striking, an Iowa that I kept after a lot of p8s I passed on, an unbelievable Pan Pac that I'd love to say I'd "be happiest to have", but there's a probable eventual upgrade in the most valuable Sesqui, so, what a tough decision...
    I'd go with the Pan Pac, or Grant w/, I guess....
    Hmmm... ...value aside... I'd go with keeping the screaming Pan Pac. good question... image
    Check it. Toned on one side from original framed holder...

    Hands down, the 1951-S screaming Franklin I got some years back for $70, that now resides in a PCGS MS66 FBL slab.

    Very nice 54-P, David. I wish I could find one like that. I have several really nice Lincolns, but the coin I like to look at the most is my 22-D in 66RD. Sorry I don't have a pic.

    I picked up a couple at the FUN show last week that rank near, if not at, the top of my list.

    An 1861-P half dime in PCGS MS65 (not a good reverse photo)

    An 1879 dime in PCGS MS66

    The obverse of the 1879 dime is as prooflike as the reverse. I'm just having trouble capturing it in a photo. It makes a nice mate for my icon coin below, an 1879 quarter that I've had for 32 years. It was slabbed in 1988 by PCGS as MS65.

    A pcgs 64rd 1919-s Lincoln Cent. Pretty much looks perfect at first glance, with absolutely gorgeous color and luster and strike (kind of like David's 54P!) but I guess a small carbon speck extremely well hidden on his coat accounts for the grade.

    Runner ups, 1917-s (64rd) and 1926-s (64rb) Lincolns with pretty similar looks and quality as the 19-s!!
