|
|
Cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, dollars, pfennings, schillings, reales, yen, baht, euros, pesos?
I've been a half dollar dude for about a year and a half now. I'll probably change my mind eventually though. I tend to do that occasionally.
So, how bout you guys? Whats your favorite denomination of coin? And why?

My favorite is the dong, lol.
For US coins, I seem to spend more time with dimes than anything else, second would be cents. |

Currently: nickels and cents, because their easiest to search, but I dabble in whatever foreign I can get my hands on. |

I'd say cents were my favorite. But I really like them all- US, World, Ancient... I like the infinite variety of coins available and the history that goes along with them.

The Franklin Half Dollar is my favorite coin. I love the Liberty Bell on the reverse. Back in the early 60's, everyone had a Walker or Franklin in their pocket. The Half dollar just went "POOF" after 1964.  daffy

Thats a hard one I will collect about any thing but snakes. I like old silver such as the Morgan and the Liberty and Barber to look at. But they are hard to come by. I like the Jefferson becouse it is a good looking coin and easy to come by. I got a 1942D in change last week in good condision. |

Ben Franklin Half Dollar. Franklin was a Scientist, Printer, Inventor, Signer of the Declaration Of Independence. A very brilliant mind for someone who completed the 5th grade. The Liberty Bell reverse is about as American as it gets. My Favorite Ben Franklin Quote "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Benjamin Franklin" daffy

I like that Ben Franklin quote. He did have a good sense of humor from what I've heard. I will be reading a biography of him sometime this year, just finished reading one on George Washington. |

From what I have picked up in other forums, He was quite a "Lady's" Man also. Liked his Beer & Wine.

Ben was the one who recommended that men find themselves an older woman, because of their "experience". I like his thinking. |
