What do you think are the "best" coin of the currently circulating coins? Here is my list, I disclose those I own to show where I have bias.
Lincoln Cent 1909S VDB - started it all
Jefferson Nickel - 1942 type 1 in silver, possibly unique (I have this)
Roosevelt dime - 1975 No S , two known. ( I have a 1965 silver dime, 10-12 known)
Washington quarter -1965 silver quarter (I have this)
JFK half - 1971D silver, less than 5 known? (I have this.)

Of course, with the date being '65, and my birthyear '65, I'd want the grade to be 65, as well.
Your username reminds me of the chorus of a certain song.
Jefferson nickel 1943/2-P don't currently own one, only over-date in series
Roosevelt dime agree with you on the 1975 No S Proof I have one of the more common No S Proofs
Washington quarter and JFK half dollar have to go with the 1964 SMS variety inspected a set of these many years ago, never owned any
Sacagawea dollar the Cheerios pattern owned one for about 10 minutes
I know, the SAC $ really doesn't circulate, but then again, neither does the Kennedy half.
By the way, congratulations on owning some really rare wrong metal errors! You should post them sometime so we can all enjoy them!
Lincoln cent 1958 DDO never owned one, but I have held one in my hand

Tell is about the 10 minutes!
If you go DDO, why the 58 and not the 55?
Whats the stats on the 1943/2 Jefferson?

Need some help on how to post photos, if you can help, please let me know.
The best coins in circulation are probably things like bronze '83 or '85 cents and tybe "b" '72-D quarters in good shape. Of course many very valuable coins have been turning up in circulation since everyone quit looking 50 years ago. This certainly includes wonderful coins like the silver '65 issues. Of course these are mostly in MS or AU condition because theywere found early. There are likely to be a few more of these hiding in bags of silver that might never be found.
private message sent...good luck with the photo stuff easier than pie.
Didn't get the PM
I'm impressed by the silver '65's and '71 but wouldn't consider any silver at all as "circulating". I often toy with the idea that somewhere out there is a heavily worn 1964 clad dime or quarter that have been overlooked all these years. There is a unique 1964 clad quarter known.

I didn't mean my selections were circulating, I meant the best coins of each of the types that now circulate.
How many folk have one? I recently reacquired a second example. I have only heard of 4 others.

I wouldn't consider any of those "currently circulating," although by almost impossible odds you could find one circulating.
