Favorite US coins

[Peter_Spaeth]

Without regard to value, just aesthetics. My top 5 would probably be the St. Gaudens $20, the Indian Head $10, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, the Liberty Cap Large Cent, and the Peace Dollar, but it's so hard to name just 5.

Coming from somebody who doesn't collect or know anything about coins. I've always loved the Sacagawea Dollar.

I know it's modern so probably not a very popular choice for most.

Gold is always cool.

I really like the 20 cent piece
3 cent piece (silver) tiny little buggers
Half dimes
Fugio cent

And the one I like the most are the silver trade dollars with chop marks. So freaking cool if you ask me.

With a hat tip to the inverse Indian headed gold coins. The inverse is really a neat design.

In addition to the ones Peter mentioned, I'm partial to the Seated Liberty quarter, half dollar and dollar.

Dangit Peter; this thread is making me want to go buy a Double Eagle!

I put together a type set set. The 1, 2.5 and five gold were relatively easy. The 10 and 20, are out of reach now.

I also know nothing about coins. I also like the small dollar coins like the Sacagawea and Susan B Anthony coins. My favorite is the Ben Franklin 50 cent piece.

but i have numerous Sacagawea gold coins and $2 bills along with many Susan B's.

Three that I used to collect: Peace Dollars, steel cents. standing liberties. All 'raw, circulated' , most through change from my purchases or friends working the till. Period of time when banks used to sell bags of loose coins was good too. All sold to fund purchases over the years.

I've always been partial to the stellas. ($4 gold) Not that I will or ever could own one.
