  Mint state Kennedys will sometimes show a slide type dark mark on the cheek and/or hits that kill the visual appeal easily.

  The Morgan Dollar and the Liberty $20 gold piece, followed by the Peace dollar.

  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 ... ?

  I'd say $20 Libs. Those things just get chewed up.

  $2.5 and $5 Indian gold aren't exactly resilient.

  Liberty Double Eagles and Franklin half dollars, followed closely by Morgan and Peace dollars. Modern eagles (Post 1834), both kinds, also have the problems of hits, as well.

  Ikes are so big, bald and weighty, it's tough to find a baby-face!
