Well, that is a nice one indeed.

Ok I can have a 2nd one:
Not sure I could have only 1 (or two!)
But not a bad choice!!
Second one doesn't seem to have been properly neutralized after having been dipped.
Albino coins at these grade levels are risky as there's no way to know if the person who dipped them had the skill set to do so until they start to turn.
Do all 76-CC Twenty centers have the doubled Liberty ?
Why don't the slabs say they are double die coins? Just curious don't know much about th series
HAPPY COLLECTING
I wonder if the Morgan VAM with the mint mark struck in the wreath was a force of habit to some workers who had stamped or seen stamped in the wreath on these and carried the mistake to force of habit.
Very nice, Top notch.
Hoard the keys.
I'd pick the 1870-S $3 gold. It's the only US gold coin that is unique.

...apart from the 1849 $20 and the 1907 Indian head $20 ?

Re: The Doubled Die Obv. 76-CC Twenty Cent Piece:
Yes, only one of the six Obv. dies
sent to Carson City were used.
The one used has that wonderful
Doubled Die Obverse.
Those are patterns and never had legal tender status.

Well... it certainly is special... and I would dearly love to have one... especially the first one....That being said, I am not sure if it was the ONLY coin I could own, that I would select that one... there are so many to consider... It would take me a while to make such a choice. Cheers, RickO

Best place to buy !

I'll see that one and raise you....
The OP didn't include the price - $460,000.
Even if I sold my entire collection, I think I would come up short. Do you mean what could you buy instead of your current collection?
If that's the case and I had to pick one coin (historic, beautiful, interesting, rare) I might choose this:

If it had to be US, I would go with a 1795 small eagle $5 - probably around the same value.

No words needed....
That type is at the top of my list as well. I had the opportunity to buy a drachm a few years ago but couldn't swing the seven figure pricetag.
I know the owner of that piece and unfortunately he won't sell it (nor will he ever need the money). He has a drachm and hemidrachm also of Athens gold... a heck of a small set!
The "ONLY" coin ever minted uglier than the SBA Dollar!
