<< <i>Just won this one in the Minot Sale by Stacks so it's my newest favorite:
Lee, that was a great deal.
That should holder at PCGS and bring you quite a profit.
Gorgeous coin!!!
From Stack's..........1921 Missouri. MS-64
and a completely original coin in every respect. There is a very well balanced blend of russet, gold, and subtle green toning over rich satin-velvet mint lustre. Scarce in any grade, and particularly difficult to acquire at the condition level offered here.

Not a bad list
2) Texas- I love the winged Victory on the reverse- very classical. The obverse Eagle over the Lone Star is also very cool and symbolic.
3) Pan-Pac Gold $1- It's a busy design on a small coin, but the dolphin design on the reverse symbolizing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (I presume) has always appealed to me.
4) Stone Mountain- Stonewall and Bobby Lee- enough said.

My favorites are four of the lesser known and lower mintage ones:
1. Buford T. Pusser memorial half-dollar
2. the 'profiles in sportsmanship' half-dollar with Shoeless Joe Jackson
3. The 'Johnny Reb victory half-dollar' (extremely low mintage)
4. the 'Crazy lookin' Old men' half dollar: St. Gaudens on the obverse, John Brown on the reverse
