I know that there is some coin collectors on this forum. What are some of the more special coins to collect? PM me if you are feeling shy. Thank you for your time. My favorite is one of the Ohio State quarters called Perry's victory. You know, celebrating the USA victory of the War of 1812.

I like the old Silver Dollars myself.I like the looks of them and I like the feel of them.I even like the sound of them when you toss them on a table.

St Gaudinaswas a sculptor who designed the iconic $20 double eagle gold coin in circulation in the early 1900s among others My favorite USA coin is anything with silver in it. More precisely the Mercury dime [img] https://images.app.goo.gl/KnzUdWksGoJkcMnZ7[/img] Second place is any of the America the Beautiful series quarters struck in silver. Frankly I think Canada and Mexico made the coolest silver coins.

Anything made by Augustus Saint Gaudins Can you please tell me more? I'm not familiar with the name. The 20 Gold st. Gaud. May be the one he is most known for, but he made others. The same design appears on the half oz. gold, quarter oz. gold, tenth oz. gold. You can google his name and see the designs, they are pretty much the standard all others strive to attain. Both for their beauty as well the Patriotic symbolism. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I kinda like the liberty series coins. They include the seated liberty, standing liberty, and walking liberty.

I don’t collect as a rule but those I have found metal detecting I keep separate in a glass jar.
Have quite a few wheat pennies, a couple of Indian head pennies, quite a few silver coins from old Dimes and quarters up to the 64 ones, a few Silver dollars, some old nickels too
I get them out every time some one is interested in coins when family is together, cause I am The oldest most young people never have seen any of them, don’t even know what any may Be worth !!
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
