Favorite Coin?

[Qwest]

Does anybody have that one coin that just puts a smile on your face whenever you dig one? Or if you have yet to find one, which coin would be your ultimate bucket lister?

For me, any coin if it’s silver.

I would love to find a V Nickel!

I agree! It would be nice to find a gold coin, but I'm a silver guy for sure!

I'm always liking the Franklin Halves!

For me it's the Mercury dime. Obviously not a huge windfall, but when I was a three years old I found one taped to the underside of a desk that my mom had brought home from a lawn sale. To this day I still feel a thrill when I see one – the coin that started it all.

A coin that puts a smile on my face every time is a large cent... I just love seeing any big copper come out of the ground! One of my bucketlisters is any Spanish silver... I've got a good feeling about this fall/winter.

My favorite coin to find is the ihp. I love the design and it never gets old when one pops out. A seated dime is my white whale. I've found fugios, state coppers, reales, called bust dimes, seated half dimes and etc. But after 5 years I've yet to dig a seated dime.

My first ever silver was a 1917 Stander, beautiful coin!

Mercury dimes are my personal fave coin design, I've only found so far, but every time I beep a dime signal, I always hope it's a Merc, lol

Hard choice between a Buffalo Nickel and a Mercury Dine. I'd go with the Nickel if I can make out the date.

I would love to find a Flying Eagle cent.

Don, They do exist I dug one in 2001. Graded by PCGS Fine

I really enjoy finding Barber Quarters, and Walking Liberty Halves. That being said, even after over 30 years of detecting, I still get excited to see any old U.S. Copper or Silver come out of the dirt.

Found a few walking liberty halves, one of if not the best looking coin this country ever minted.

I have found one Peace dollar so I got the hard one but a Morgan is still high on my list.
