What is your favorite circulated coin?

DRG

Mine is a nice AU 1913 T1 Buffalo. Not one particular coin, but any nice AU T1.

Something about a lightly circulated T1 buffalo.

They just look they way a coin is suppose to look.

There may be more attractive uncirculated coins, but a little wear on a T1 almost makes it look better. There are not many coins I would say that about.

1822 bust dime

VF Morgans appeal to me.

I like these.

There have been a few posts on this topic lately.

Barbers, no question.

I really like the Early Lincolns. (pre-1930) XF-AU with very slight rub.

The beautiful early strikes on these coins are only enhanced by the nice brown color.

1894-S dime.

Barber halves.

G - VG Liberty Nickels have a neat look to them, I think. My first "old coin" as a kid was a 1906 V-nickel probably VG...

Buffalo nickels and bust dollars. And commems.

I really like circulated Barber and Bust half dollars. They look nicer to me worn with a bit of contrast...Mike

I'm with wam98... I really like the look of original, problem-free VF20-25 Morgans.

1853-O half dollar, no arrows and rays

There are 3 known and between 1975 and 1982, they were all in MD, the lowest grade (G) being the one that I owned. The finest known is a VF.

Barber Quarters and Halves without question.....

Just like these.....

Buffalo nickels and Mercury dimes.

My favorite would be this one.

Draped Bust dollars, halves and quarters. I also like seated dollars.

That is just to complicated of a question for me. My mind changes to fast as I look at coins at a coin show or just open albums and look at them. I guess if I had to get rid of everything I have and only keep on type of coin it would be the Lincoln Cent. Been saving them for over 50 and almosat 60 years so not to easy to like anything else.

high relief Peace dollars look good worn. Morgans also.

AU58 Ikes that would otherwise grade mid-MS but cost pennies on the dollar, literally.... out for now but good to be on board , been lurking too long.

I always liked the 3¢ Nickel, and like Barber Halves too.

Any mid range circulated Barber - nickel, dime, quarter or half.

Mr Spud: Really like the photoshopped picture of the 1897 dime !!!!!

Mr. Ziggy, right on the money, thanks for the pic! Too bad it isn't a peg leg, though I have yet to see one (a 71-D peg) in my limited travels.

As to 100proof, fresh meat I ain't, unless you like your meat aged 64 years. But a novice to be sure and focused on modern dollars since that's about all my increasingly senility can handle.

Curley

None...I only collect UNC. Nothing wrong with circulated; they just don't appeal to me. But there is no wrong or right way to collect so more power to everyone to complete their collections the way it is meaningful to them.

XF-AU Seated Halves with original look....not dipped white!

There are some excellent choices here and Colorfulcoins makes a great argument but
I like a really nice G or VG clad quarter. It needs to be nice even wear on a decently
struck coin and they are none too common but a few layers of honest wear on these
will make everything but a gem look a lot better.
