    Best or Favorite?
    I don't really have a "Best" since I haven't really designed any. But I do have a lot of favorites.

    Here are a few:

    That was supposed to be a few of my Gallery Mint photos. I have a bunch of them. They are copies of some really rare designs. The repros were done by a guy named Joe Rust, who unfortunately passed away recently. I still appreciate the artistry and the design by the original engravers whoever they were.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    I'm not sure.
    Taking the thread title literally, for designs that I have created, there are several classic-style designs and one modern-style design.

    Classic:

    Modern:

    I don’t know about “best”, but I’d say my favorites are the $10 Indian, the Pan Pac quarter eagle, Walking Liberty Half. I
    Also love the “sun over mountains” CAR gold escudos.

    Other passions include golf, Moto Guzzi motorcycles, and Euro motorcycles in general.

    My favorite is also the Panama Pacific Exposition quarter eagle showing Ms. Liberty riding on the back of a Hippocampus (half horse and half sea monster) while holding a caduceus symbolizing the conquest of smallpox disease while building the canal.
