Is your favorite coin your most expensive coin?

Is the coin you most enjoy oogling your top dollar coin (based on book or market value)?

  • Easy answer. No.

    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.

  • 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.

    my favorite is my 1916 DDO nickel and it is worth only 1/3-1/4 of my former favorite.....my 56 Flyer.


    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.

  • No, I have several nice inexpensive coins that I like better than some of the expensive rare pieces I have.

    No. My favorite coin is my 1819/18 half in XF-40. I just love the toning that it has.

    no
  • 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.

    Never always looking for a upgrade or something else.

    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.

  • No, my most expensive was a carson city Seated Dollar that I needed to fill a hole; the
    favorites have different reasons.

    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 image

    Best,
    Billy
  • My favorite coins have striking Eye Appeal. My most expensive are just rare.
