Buffalo nickel. Both the Native and the buffalo are stoic, weathered and proud. Their fall from grace is deeply saddening and I'm glad they are honored in this coin. Bonus points; hobo nickels are very cool.
I have always been partial to the early coinage, so I would pick the 1807 dime.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
The Buffalo nickel and Indian cent. Probably because I collect and can relate to them . (I can remember the days of picking them out of my pocket change.) Same with Liberty quarters and Franklin half dollars.

A well struck Buffalo Nickel is a thing of beauty.

That’s an easy one. The buffalo nickel of course. It’s thee most beautiful coin struck by our mint and no matter where you are in the world when ya look at it it screams United States .
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
I would also pick the 1807. I love the look of old circulated silver and the bust design. Just imagine everything that coin has seen in the past 211 years,
I agree with BuffaloIronTail I like that buffalo. It is truly a thing of beauty. Although all the coins are exceptional, I think the Buffalo is Just Majestic.

I agree with @Toma regarding the Buffalo Nickel's character and if it had been a 1913 T1 I would have probably picked it in similar strike and condition, I have had the 1890 proof LSD(and where were you guys when I tried to sell it but couldn't?) I love the 1807 half dollar but I would have to pick the Isabella(even though it is a Commemorative). All are quite nice in their own way.

Buffalo nickel design. It's the only artistic, creative one in the bunch. Notice how the artist used the full space of the coin for his design. It is a dynamic, powerful composition built of skillful lines and planes. The others are just isolated shapes plopped into a round form with or without various silly ornaments....they have no power; they say nothing.

They're all beautiful coins, but I'm drawn to the IHC. It was the series I first started to collect as a kid... sentimental value...

i like the 1890 seated liberty proof dime
The 1881 3 center! It's probably worth the most and I love the look of it.
Best looking to me 1890 dime.

The proof Buffalo
All of the coins look nice, but if it was just one I'd pick the 1807 dime since I don't have that type in my collection.

1890 Dime and I know nothing about that series. It just looks flawless according to that picture!
1807 dime, classic.
The 1890 Seated Liberty Dime looks outstanding.... Cheers, RickO
I have to go with the proof Buffalo. It's just so hammered....
The Capped Bust quarter.

1807 dime.

The Buffalo, of course!
I'll take the shield nickel
That’s an easy one. The buffalo nickel of course. It’s thee most beautiful coin struck by our mint and no matter where you are in the world when ya look at it it screams United States .
I like early federal coinage. My preference is the 1807 dime and the CBQ in that order.
Three cent because it is very rare to see them in that condition. I like them all
Best place to buy !

1807 , nice obverse
Yep on the 1807 dime. Scarcer in circ that the other fancier graded but commoner coins.
Besides, I am a sucker for the old stuff.
Of course I'll go for the CC.
