Gold Coin Holder

People that I talk to think that the favorite coin of most collectors is generally the rarest or most expensive coin in their collection. My favorite is neither.

Mine is a gold coin designated DMPL (Deep Mirror Proof-Like) on its PCGS holder. The coin is quite common with literally thousands graded higher. The reason I like it best is because the look of the coin is like nothing I've ever seen on a gold coin. Eye appeal is everything on this coin.

So what is your favorite coin and why is it your favorite?

I used to be a bartender and people would give me coins from all over the world. The one that sticks out the most was a coin celebrating the 750th year anniversary of the city of Berlin. It was very special because the people that gave it to me had been robbed of almost everything they had brought with them on their vacation to the U.S., but the robbers hadn't found this particular coin. They came into the bar I worked in and I befriended them. They gave me the coin which unfortuneately was lost in Hurricane Katrina along with all my other coins. The coin may be gone but my memory of those two people will stay with me forever.
