Just curious to see what you guys think the best coin you have found is. Doesn't have to be your most expensive coin, just the one you like best. So far I think mine would be my first buffalo coin with a full date. I just started CRHing this year so I havent found any 1800's coins yet or even any from the teens/twenties. The buffalo is a 1937, full clear date, no mint...all the legs are there, but so far that is the oldest coin I have found. I know it's not worth a ton but I love the buffalo nickels and before finding that one I found 25ish dateless/partial date buffalos so finding that one was pretty cool for me.

Anyway, just wanted to see what your favorite coin is. I know some of you guys who have been at it for a long time probably have some really cool stuff tucked away in folders or something. HH!

1914 Barber Half Dollar - ENDER

This happens to be the LOWEST minted Barber Half ever produced (1914 no mint mark) - Only 124K minted. Well it was my favorite until I sold it for $130 :)

I found a 1972 Dbl die cent in 1987. Definitely my coolest find. What made it special was the fact that I lived in Idaho at the time and this coin was very far from it's Philadelphia birthplace. I was 13 years old and the coin was worth a lot of money to a young kid. I sold it for about $75. Wish I would kept it.

Well I have two for the price of one that I found in the same roll 4 Days before my birthday. It was a very exiting find since that day I took my first vacations in 8 years since I am in this country and went to Washington Dc to the museums and to Mount Vernon the the home of President Washington. Sorry about the photos they do not show the coins very well

1883 no cents...found it today along with 25 other v nickels. Also found an 1888 but its pretty beat to hell, and a 1912 with a mint mark, not sure what it is though since it's so worn. If its a 12 S thats the new favorite hahaha, but for now its my 1883. My new oldest.

I know you no longer have this in your posession since its technically illegal to own a counterfeit...but lets just say you decided to keep it, and you were going to get a quote on how much its worth, what do you think it would be?


I asked my local dealer and he said that they can be had for about 20-25 dollars but I did see one on eBay going for over $60 once.
