Four.

If you count specimens, I'd take Stellar's chain cent first and the Amon Carter 1794 dollar second. If not, then I'd have to settle for an 1827 Original quarter.

superlative

i take it the chain is the coin known in copper circles as "THE COIN!"...........???

Uh, none. i would like a copper proof from the 1830's someday.

None. Great coins to own.

This Lovejoy Collection 1834 mint state dime coin is truly proof-like and is the closest thing to my owning a proof coin pre 1840.

Sweet dime!

the ultimate usa proof coin is 1834 as this is the first year of the special diplomatic sets and the greatest proof set the king of siam proof set with the coins mostly dated 1834 with the dated 1804 dollar and ten dollar still struck in 1834

a sexy date the 1834 in proof
