Which coin design of the 19th century do you feel is superior in terms of aesthetics and design eye-appeal?
And what about it makes it eye-appealing perhaps more than othersimage

    I love the image on Draped Bust coins. They have the most realistic representation of Liberty, I think. image

    i am partial to three dollar gold/type3 gold dollars, i might go with type 2 gold dollars but finding one how they were intended to look is nearly impossible.

    I appreciate an original look. Bottom line: I like an original coin. jws

    I've got a thing for Anne Willing Bingham. Any coin she was on is OK in my book!
