coin choice

privaterarecoincollector

if money wouldnt matter, which two coins would you want to own, if you could choose and they would be available ?

tradedollarnut

Probably the two that I do happen to own

Zoins

The two gold half unions would be a nice set.

the first one I would take too.

Second one would be the 1795 Eagle.

Nice choices !!!

Sorry TDN - I would want the 1804 Childs dollar that the Pogue currently owns. That would be a perfect match with your 1794 dollar. Together, those are the sweet.

Perhaps there are much better choices, one of mine would be an EXHR; however, to answer the OP's question using only two coins I should take the Panama-Pacific Slugs and then have a nice complete registry set.

Well, aside from TDN's beautiful coins, I have always coveted (and my yet acquire) the $50 gold PanPac...just something about that coin... and I would also like a CC Morgan, in PCGS 69 DCAM....Just because... Cheers, RickO

I have always loved proof $20 libs in dcam.

Perhaps one day I shall buy one

The $50 gold PanPac made me start collecting when I saw it as a child. I was always partial to the octagonal, but if I had one, I'd want both... just hate to break up the set you know?

There are some good candidates from your type set

yes could be, I was totally blown away by the 1794 half Cent and the 1796 Cent when I saw them again for the first time. But then the Chain Cent is so important, the 1793 Liberty Cap has some red, the 1796 quarter Dollar looks like a specimen and the 1795 Ten is an unbelievable coin - I probably would not be able to choose two of them.

So how about the 1804 Ten in PR 65 and the Brasher Dubloon in 64.

I'd take PRC's 1795 $10, still my all-time favorite coin. Then the Pacific and Co. Territorial $5 in AU-58.

spacehayduke

48 CAL quarter eagle, 54-S quarter eagle, Oregon Beaver 5 dollar gold (sorry that is 3).....

Best, SH

Easy.

1. Brand-Rogers 1796 Half Dollar.
2. Koshkarian 1797 Half Dollar.

I haven't seen either in person, I would love to. Based on pictures, I like the Koshkarian's toning better but the 96 date better.

BryceM

Oh I dunno, but I like TDN's answer.

Maybe a couple of gem-state genuine 1964-D Peace dollars.

Jimnight

I would own a proof 70 1895 morgan silver dollar, probably would spend what ever it would take to find one, and a MS70 1916 D mercury dime and what ever it would take to find one.

Time to wake up now...

Yeah, this and the 1849 $20.

But I'd want them on display, probably lend to Smithsonian, go visit and examine closely every once in a while.

I've always loved the Pan-Pac octagonal slug and have had a special affinity for San Francisco gold, so:

(H/T CoinFacts)

privatecoin

1895 morgan dollar and 1849 double eagle.

oldabeintx

Where does "The Coin" reside these days? It would be one of the two.

CWT1863

Since I like Civil War era history I would probably pick a Confederate Half Dollar. And a 1804 Dollar for the second coin.

kaz

I'd like a Pan Pac gold set, in original holder.

yosclimber

But one would be just fine....
