What is the most beautiful coin?

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago

I've wondered that for a while.

Is it the St. Gaudens double eagle? Possible

How about the Peruvian Una Libra? Now this is nice!!

Or how about the Mexican Venti Pesos?

It has to be gold right??

Don't be so sure...

I give you one of my favorite coins. The humble and understated Canadian Voyageur dollar. One of the best coin designs I can think of.

These are my "go to" silver for stacking. I buy them as often as I can and for as cheap as I can, because they are by and above my favorite thing to stack. I fill tubes with them and just put them in the vault.

Now I know I'm biased, being a flat-lander Canuck and all. And I suppose If I were American, I'd stack Morgan's and Peace Dollars... Well, I stack them too, lol, but the good ole Canadian Dollar is my favorite,and I think it's timeless design puts it on the list for the most beautiful coin ever.

Tell me what you think in the comments below, post pics of what you think are the most beautiful coins... Obviously bullion doesn't count, only actual used circulation coins count here.

Stay awesome #SSG

Love it fat-e! Though i too love the walking liberty, merc, peace and morgan, i have long maintained that Canadian silver dollars have the best hand-feel hands down. It’s a perfect coin to have a sum of. And, interestingly, though 80%, or perhaps because of, the Cad dollar sings a much sweeter tune when “pinged.” Check it out yourselves 😎👍 🇨🇦

Ding Ding. The sing is it. It sounds better than most. You clink them like a poker player does their chips...

My favorite coins are the Mercury Dime, Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the $10 Gold Indian.

Oh buddy, the Merc dime is special for sure! Actually all of your pics are great. I also like the seated liberty.

The half-kennedy is my favorite. For the iconic president.

A good choice. And Iconic indeed.

Tough to single out one coin as the best.
My favorite Canadian dollar would be the 1949 Dollar of the Mathew, Newfoundland Commemorative. Mint Master Thomas Shingles even carved the die by hand too.

The '49 is one of my favorite coins of all time. It's fantastic.

My favorite coin is the silver $.50 CAN. The second is the Oregon commemorative (USA).

St Gaudens maybe it. I'm partial to proof Libertads myself 😎

The double eagle is a pretty awesome coin.
