Feel free to post your favorite coin(s) from your collection here! If you ever get another coin that you like more, feel free to post it here too!
I’ll start. This may not be a straight graded coin but it was my first Carson City minted coin and it was a part of my first ANACS submission which I think makes it more special for me.

It still has a nice look to it. Must have been cleaned a very long time ago.

it's a coin forum. People like to post pictures of coins. Especially their "favorite". Would you like them to post pictures of (blech) stamps? (j/k)

Thought about this a bit, but it has to be my 1799 cent due to the date (Washington’s death), quality, overall look, and most importantly, the Mickley mystique.
I said to myself, honestly, if you had to, what’s the last coin you’d sell? That was this 1799.images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=169&sale=98&lot=260
Other passions include golf, Moto Guzzi motorcycles, and Euro motorcycles in general.

Thanks much @Goob, it’s one of those “just try and find another” type of coins, regardless of the resale value. Glad I stumbled upon it.

I've shared this one several times before. It's humble but honest. I was delighted with it when I bought it more than 20 years ago, and I have remained so.

Being a Franklin collector along with the high grade coins I also like the extremely low proof grades, like this 1955 PR55. There are only 5 of them if they didn't get melted, and only 1 PR53 according to PCGS population report.
So this PR55 has to be one of my Favs.
How bad of a day must the mint have had to put out a PR55.

How bad of a day must the mint have had to put out a PR55.That is a really cool half dollar! Of course, as PerryHall had stated, the half dollar did not come out of the mint as a PF55, so it must have been lightly circulated.

My main collection is Early Copper but I spent quite some time on my Type Set too so it was a tough choice. Not my most expensive coin, but it's the "one I usually come back to..."

I dreamed from acquiring this type, the Capped Bust, Small Eagle $5 gold, for a long time. It's far from my most valuable coin, but it's one of my favorites. I saw this coin at a Baltimore show. It took me less than a minute to decide to buy it.
