    I like this coin because the font used on the lettering is the coolest I have seen on a US coin.

    Since I now have seen in a pic that you have multiple commem toners of the exact same type...
    You should give away a few of those extra's.
    Makes no sense to have the same thing twice.

    I like untoned white coins, and this one definately hasn't been dipped:

    Why do I like it?
    Its a buff
    Its a proof
    I paid to much to not like it...

    This coin I named "claws" because it had such nice detail on the talons.... (1881s)

    I like this one because my kids can look at it all they want and not mess it up (anymore than it already is since it is encased in acrylic!!). It also doubles as a very formidable weapon!

    I love this one....it's hard to believe that it has been circulated around so much and nobody thought twice about it.

    Criminey... is that an actual mint error? Filled die? Never seen anything like it.
  • eyoung429eyoung429 Posts: 6,374 ✭
    Yep, it's a grease strike-through. Here is a closeup...you can actually see where the metal is stressed.

    I like this one because it has natural toning and a higher grade to go with it.

    Dizzyfoxx...congratulations on 4000 posts!
    I like this coin that is graded by PCGS as MS66Red, I got it on ebay from Manofcoins.
    The colors on the coin don't show, but it has real nice golds along the border, seems like it came from a roll. I need to reshoot itimage

    You should do a giveaway for the Y.N.'s, I do them weekly on the swap, tag, giveaway board. I'm not wealthy, I just think the more you give back to the hobby the better you will feel- the Y.N.'s love giveaways too!!!!!!!

    This is a coin you just gotta love

    Ok here is my new favorite it is a New Zealand Kiwi Silver Dollar. It is my favorite for two reasons. 1st because it is mt news silver dollar and I enjoy bullion silve dollars from al over the world. 2nd is because it is a great looking coin.

    And if you wanted a US coin then here you go.

    I like this one because of the toning on it Pus it is part of my type set



    Thanks for the chance. image

    Congrats on your milestone, dizzyfoxx!

    I like this coin because no one else in the whole wide world has one just like it

    image

    in fact, only 3 or 4 dozen people have one of these at all, in any condition. I like it because of it's age, and beauty, and history. I like it because it was probably a charm on a girl's bracelet 200 years ago, and was therefore not lost nor worn down to nothing nor melted. I like it because it was owned and appreciated by many folks since then, and all resisted the urge to clean it, or patch the hole, or "do" anything else to it except hold it and think about where it come from and where it been, and enjoy having it, for now...

    My one and only toned Franklin - and my birth year to boot PCGS MS65. Looks a bit under exposed - good, I get to image it again.image

    BTW diz, if your going to be giving away your Grant, San Diego, Oregon, etc., (I'm not picky) thanks in advance for the chance! Well, someone had to say it!
