    Its gotta be the coin that almost was, the J 1988 or its sister, the J 1989.

    What these patterns became ain't so shabby either.

    I have asked myself that question for years and still don't have a solid answer. Last week it was the Trade$ in MS. This week it's a dream for a Seated $ in MS. I think I may be shifting to the Peace $ for next week. I found a 34S in the group I've been searching and saw a sweet 22 in 7 and fell in love.

    My favorite coin that I don`t own and won`t unless I win a lottery is a $5 or $10 Turban Head Gold Eagle ( perferably the Small Eagle Reverse Type ).

    My favorite that I do own is a 1879 - S graded MS66:

    I used to own this one, but the scratches on the obverse used to keep me up at night so I sold it.

    The Barber half dollar.

    I know that many do not fancy the barber series, but I cannot help that, I cannot help myself. I try to love other series, I try to buy morgans, walkers, merc's, standing Liberties, I purchase Seated coins, bust coins, large cents, small cents, but there is no staying power, no glue to keep me on.

    I prefer the Barber half dollar.

    That I own, my 66 graded 92 S barber half.

    That I wish I had an 1891 Barber pattern half or better yet the complete set.

    An original 1804 dollar. I've seen two or three (as well as 1 or 2 restrikes), and was lucky enough to actually hold one, although it was slabbed- the 1804 dollar in the King of Siam set.

    It ain't a US coin.
    It is British. It's Una and the Lion. (No I don't have a picture but someone does)
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    I gotta copy fcloud, b/c it falls within my shortset confines, and is basically the most expensive coin for the set, except the 1945 in high MS-FB... but I consider the 41/1 to be the hardest to get for me, for my set... but in general, it's definately Mercurys, Barber Dimes are a close second (I love grey toned circ Barber Dimes), and the Uber-Awesome Morgan Dime pattern... *drool*

    I love anything draped bust or flowing hair. I would say my flowing hair silver dollar is my favorite that I own, in part because it was a gift from my husband.

    1913 type 1 Buffalo nickel. In my opinion, the design is perfect on both the obverse and reverse.

    I'd have to go with the 1787 Brasher Doubloon with the punchmark "EB" on the breast. My all time favorite.
