    <<< Who has the most COOL and EXPENSIVE U.S. coin. >>>


    My vote would go for whoever owns the 1870-S $3.00 gold piece or the Judd1776 pattern piece or one of the 1822 or 1825/4 Half Eagles.

    Marty has the most COOL coins (see his sig), and they aren't even EXPENSIVE.image

  • You are kidding?

    I think we have enough pissing contests around here. All we need is another "my coin is better than your coin" thread to argue over.

    I think "most cool" and "most expensive" are two very different, though not necessarily mutually exclusive, categories.

    Actually, legally speaking you don't. Sad but true.

    Since it's part of the Smithsonian collection, we all have a partial interest in it. TRUE!

    but leave room for the morgan collectors to top this.

    I think it's not owned by the public.

    I vote TDN wins this, he's just gotta post a coin image.

    Interest, yes, but no ownership rights whatsoever.

    the '49 is "ours" in the sense that the Lincoln Memorial monument is "ours"

    an undivided 1/275,000,000 interest and you can look at it but not take any.

    That's like saying the Queen of England could sell the Crown Jewels. She may technically *own* them, but they could only be sold at her peril.

  • If I had a Pan-Pac $50, either round or octaganal, I think that would do it. But, the the South Carolina lottery would play a major part in my ever owning such a coin.

  • My vote is for Regulated's coin. Do you actually own that?
  • FC........excuse my ignorance on this, but why is that coin so cool or expensive??
  • carlcarl Posts: 2,054
    I do. I still have all the 1943 Lincolns from my Dad. He is gone now. These are cool because they remind me of him more than other things now gone. Expensive. There is no price on something that is priceless. No one could replace any of them. No one could buy any of them for any price. I remember when I was a little kid and thought those really pennies looked so weird and cool. My Dad must have really gone out of his way to accumulate those for me. I ended up with 26 rolls of them. Each coin is a momento of my Dad. They are the most expesive, coolest, greatest coins in the world.

  • TDN: Just post your 1870-S, and kill this thread. Here's the coin I got from Israel's daughter.

    Stewart Blay has the most cool US coin, if not the most expensive one. It's expense in this market is hard to gage.
