What Would You Rather Have...(POLL)

LeeBone · January 24, 2013 8:00AM

Just wondering what the majority would say

LogPotato · January 24, 2013 8:15AM

None of those interest me.

silverpop · January 24, 2013 8:18AM

doubt any of the coins listed would get my notice

AnkurJ · January 24, 2013 8:41AM

None

mozin · January 24, 2013 8:52AM

No interest in any of the coins listed.

AUandAG · January 24, 2013 8:56AM

Hmmmmm, Lee, that's a nobrainer! 92cc!

bob

SmallTownCoins · January 24, 2013 9:13AM

55/55
16-d
92cc
In that order

yellowkid · January 24, 2013 9:21AM

Put me down as "none," I'll always take a type coin with eye appeal over a rarity.

RYK · January 24, 2013 9:23AM

I selected "None" but gun-to-my-head, and I had to pick from the three, it would be the 55DDO. I have always wanted one of those.

mbogoman · January 24, 2013 9:29AM

Already have #1 in higher, don't collect Mercs, so I'd take the 92-CC as it would be an upgrade to my AU58...

MICHAELDIXON · January 24, 2013 9:38AM

Owned and sold many of the listed coins, so none interest me.

Me too! Kind of taken aback by all the "no interest" folks. I'd like to know why "no interest".

Most collectors cut there teeth on the Wheat Cent folders/albums. The 1955/55 Dbl die is a highly popular, rare error variety to collect.
Mercury Dimes are very popular Date/MM collectibles and the '16-D is the rarest and again very popular among collectors.
As for the 92-CC, I've been assembling a collection of MS-63/64 Morgans in PCGS plastic so this is a no-brainer for me.

For those who feigned "no interest" howzabout expounding on why you don't like these?

BustCuds · January 24, 2013 9:42AM

None of the above...Take a Bustie anyday

They aren't Barbers.

TheRaven · January 24, 2013 9:47AM

I would take the 16-D.....

Always wanted one of these and this would allow me to put a nice set of Mercury Dimes together......

thisnamztaken · January 24, 2013 10:27AM

If the '92 CC had a gold bean on it, or at least looked like it was under-graded, I'd choose that one if I was forced too, but none of them really ring my chime.

12voltman · January 24, 2013 11:47AM

Just don't care for Lincolns or Morgans so I'd go for the merc. It'd be nice to have one but I'll never be motivated to buy one.

CoinRaritiesOnline · January 24, 2013 12:23PM

DDO.

Broadstruck · January 24, 2013 12:30PM

I'm in the none crowd

Justlooking · January 24, 2013 1:08PM

Everbody love the 55 DD.

sniocsu · January 24, 2013 2:15PM

None of the above.

AuroraRarities · January 24, 2013 2:24PM

Certainly, all of the coins are interesting in their own right. However, if forced to choose from a list, none of the items you mentioned are as interesting to me as a twenty cent, bust or seated half dollar, half dime, or other 1800's type coin.

No right or wrong, just a matter of each collector's preference.

mariner67 · January 24, 2013 3:30PM

<< Everbody love the 55 DD. >>

Yes. Especially the new one The Penny Lady procured!

VanHalen · January 24, 2013 3:43PM

A '16-D Merc in solid F12 would be nice. I've never owned a 1916-D dime and a strong F12 sounds very appealing to me.

LochNESS · January 24, 2013 3:45PM

I chose the Morgan because it has the highest grade. I prefer coins with superb eye appeal and very few circulated coins can do it for me, sadly. I say sadly because when I was a young boy and first began collecting I would easily fall in love with a VG or even G if the type was identified easily. But recent years have got me buying 60 or better.

1tommy · January 24, 2013 8:52PM

<< Everbody loves the 55 DD. >>

I have always wanted one of those...........Enjoy

s4ny · January 24, 2013 9:24PM

cc Morgan

TwoSides2aCoin · January 24, 2013 9:44PM

I want the 55 DDO in 55. And it has to look like a 58. It's for my 58th b/day in a few weeks. 1955 was a fabulous year. That's when I got here and it's one of my "dream coins". It's even within reach now. How many of us give up our wants for "the majority" ? If you're from a large family , you know where I'm coming from.

TwoSides2aCoin · January 24, 2013 9:47PM

I voted "none of the above". FYI

BillJones · January 24, 2013 10:29PM

None.

I'm looking for some Type I gold dollars and the Charlotte and Dahlonega coins I need to finish my type sets. I'd also like to find a nice "O mint" half eagle.

Treashunt · January 24, 2013 10:34PM

How about a 1913 S Barber quarter in Fine-12?

To what "feigning" are you refering?

1. I refuse (yes, even back when "cutting my teeth" as a new collector) to collect ANYTHING which honors the man who is almost single-handedly responsible for the destruction of the US Constitution so no '55 doubled die for me.
2. I have no burning desire to put together a set of Mercs in any condition where an F-12 '16-D wouldn't stick out like a herpes sore on a hooker's mouth.
3. IMO, the Morgan dollar is the ugliest regular issue silver coin design in the history of the US mint. I have no interest in ever filling that hole in my US type set.

I'm in the voted no group. And yes, some folks cut their teeth on those, me included. I don't eat a jar of applesauce for dinner anymore. I now prefer pre-1836 coinage.

Mowgli · January 25, 2013 4:12AM

I have the 55 DDO and 16-D already and have never been interested in Morgans.

ricko · January 25, 2013 5:40AM

55 DDO and then another 92 CC...Cheers, RickO

09sVDB · January 25, 2013 7:21AM

Have the Merc. Have enough Morgans so therefore the 55/55 would fit

2ltdjorn · January 25, 2013 7:33AM

I love Double Ds!

NotSure · January 25, 2013 7:58AM

I own a '55 DD in the exact grade in the poll, graded by our hosts, and love it's 'chocolatey lusciousness'. I'd love to get one in MS RD someday.

Though, I WILL say, I wish I could afford to be in the 'not interested' crowd. (This is not a not a knock, believe me, as some of the stuff you guys show, especially Broadstruck, and, let us not forget the gorgeous crusty gold RYK graces us with, and in some cases, the sellers on the BST, boy, you guys have nice stuff, and alot of it DOES make these coins pale in comparison (Morgans are not my specialty, so, I can only gauge it by it's general popularity, rarty, etc...).

Then again, there are tons (well, not literally, but you know what I mean) of the '55 DD, and even more '16-D Mercs, out there in all grades in circulated condition, not sure about the Morgan, so I can see why there are those who would say 'no' to all, in the specified grades.

nwcoast · January 25, 2013 8:01AM

The 55 DDO has always been super cool in my book and a dream coin since I was a kid.
Being that's my birth year adds fuel to the fire.
I'm seriously selling off some more common materials so that I might just acquire one this year.
Partially inspired by the stunning sight of The Penny Lady's gorgeous example.
It's such a dramatic DDO that it's a must for my collection at some point.
