You obviously know your coins!
Personally, my favorites are: Walking Liberty halves, Standing Liberty quarters, and Peace Dollars. Have a smattering of circulation find wheat cents & Indian heads, but nothing high-grade. (i’m in the almost-retired cohort, coins were BIG in the 1960’s and I got back in big-time, in the late 80’s. Feeling good about it all!)
The Cent on the Rover is pretty cool nonetheless! It’s been subjected to Mars atmosphere, radiation, and “blowing dust,”
etc., for 2000 days.
Tangent— I’d love for say,a Musk, to retrieve it from Mars and submit it for 3rd party grading at PCGS, etc. HA!
SVDB...been looking for that for 50 years.
I started taking “Wheaties” out of circulation in the late ‘60’s. Gave up on the SVDB but still yearned for a ‘55S.
I had so many wheat straw pennies that I was able to roll them up by year.
Sold some to a guy at work and he GAVE me a ‘55S, still shiny, Extra Fine condition.
Not a serious collector, but I do enjoy them. Have a few collections between just starting and complete, Franklin halves, Indian head pennies, Morgan dollars... Someday there’ll more time lol.
