No. My most expensive would have to be a couple 1999 Silver Proof sets, which I keep as investments, with a few other silver proof sets. My favorite would have to be a 1859-O Seated Half Dollar in VG-8. My grandfather gave it to me, along with others, and it holds a lot of sentimental value.
Nope. My favorite coins are a few well worn Large Cents my great grandmother's father gave her in a little leather change purse. My most expensive coins are a couple of tougher date $5 Libs but I look at those beat up Large Cents way more often.

Nope. My most expensive coin is nice to look at, but not as nice as quite a few other things. I posted on a similar thread a few days ago about my more-or-less all time fav, but my darling at the moment is an 1828 quarter I bought/traded for last weekend. Only a marginal VG, but the surfaces are super-gucky original with this wonderful iridescent green-blue hue the verges on chartreuse at the periphery. I can't stop picking it up to look at it. It'll be joining its family at the bank by the end of the week; I'm trying to get my fill before then.
Yes....but that is now in the past tense as the coin was sold back in March. And at this point I really can't say I have a favorite coin any more. I probably have a dozen or more than I like a lot, but none are favorites. Most of them are the more expensive coins I own however.
My answer is I don't know. My favorite is my 19-s Lincoln which is in a pcgs ms64rd holder, so not my most expensive by ms64 pricing, but it sure seems like a gem, and would be far away my most expensive if I ever got the upgrade (well, unless my 17-s also upgraded!)
I love all my coins equally, learnt that from raising 4 kids. I got too may coins to show pics of here, but kids pics...well, you probably would rather see the coins, lol.

Hi, that's easy. My favorite will always be my Proof "Mercury" 10c. I just always wanted one and as a child I thought I'd never own one. Now I do - it is my icon coin
<---- Was until I sold it. But it is still my favorite coin!!!

I collect mostly SLQ's, and I have more expensive key dates that I'm not as enthusiastic about as some of my more beautiful well struck AU coins.

My most "valuable" to me are the ones that were my grandfathers. I have some gold pieces and stuff like that and I would Never part with it.

Not by a long shot.
