I have a lot of coins so it is hard to pick a favorite but here's one that I like a lot - see below for reasons:   1825 Large Diameter Quarter Mintage: 144,000 I like this coin because it combines relatively low mintage, age and a circulation cameo effect with its unusual size - 27.5mm which was changed in 1831 to the present 24.3. In the US, John Quincy Adams became the 6th president and the Erie Canal opened. In world news (I looked this up), Nicholas I of Russia succeeds his older brother Alexander I. Imperial Russian Army officers stage the Decembrist revolt against Nicholas's accession in Saint Petersburg but it is put down*. * note the foreshadowing of future events...interesting |

Hey guys, love your coins! But we need more people )at least 10) so we can make a proper poll.
Thanks for participating!
Also @KenKat, @muddler, @That_Coin_Dude we need more people to submit and I'll make a poll. I'm sorry if you don't get the results fast enough, it seems not much people have posted. Have a great day y'all

1847 Gothic Crown from Great Britain:     An iconic British coin, possibly struck to 'commemorate' the 10th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign. Mintage 8,000. Quite unusual to find a circulated one. I got mine in an auction held by a major UK dealer long before the days of ebay, and paid what was then the highest amounr I'd ever spent on a coin. But it was a coin I'd wanted ever since I started collecting! |

My avatar ~ my coin1971 "No S" Proof Jefferson nickel
PF66 ANACS Cameo From PCGS Facts Quote:The 1971 No S Proof Jefferson nickel was accidentally struck with a proof die that was missing the S mint mark. This is the only coin in the entire Jefferson nickel series that has been struck without containing the intended mint mark. The coins were found in 1971 Proof Sets and there are possibly several hundred examples known. In Proof without cameo or deep cameo surfaces, there are possibly several hundred in existence. With cameo surfaces there are probably also a couple hundred examples known. Finally, with Deep Cameo surfaces they are very difficult to come by and possibly no more than 50 examples exist displaying the Deep Cameo surfaces. The Mint released a statement estimating that a maximum of 1,655 were released.

So very difficult for me to pick a favorite! Or, for that matter, even 50 favorites... However, 19th century proof coins I find wonderful - very low mintages and fully detailed devices sometimes missing in even higher mint state grades. 1870 Seated Liberty w/ Motto Quarter PCGS PR65CAM Proof mintage: 1,000 Until 1858, Seated Liberty quarter proof mintages were between 1 and 50 coins, and mintages only exceeded 1000 coins in about five years for the entire series from 1838 through 1891. On this example, there is some evidence of die rust in the reverse fields, particularly under the eagle's wing on the left side. There is some minimal toning along the edges of the obverse and reverse.   |
