My CC seated comes close if the condition were better it would be #1 but this seated dime I found is probably the nicest I've ever found, especially the reverse.

I have two most favorite coins from 2016 and both were dug by others. I was privileged to be a witness to both with Air Force Mike and Dewsweeper when they both dug their very first Standers. Both are very beautiful coins and have bought great memories of 2016. Mike's coin, a 1920 is pictured in his post earlier in this thread. Now Mike has a wonderful smile but the beam he had that morning was priceless. With Brad who seldom is in loss of words, well his 1925 Stander (picture below)took him shaking like a leaf in a wind storm back to his carriage to really pinch himself in total silence. Being with these guys and sharing their moments was the best by far for me. Now I hope I get the same opportunity with IDX Monster and Gameoftag as they also are in pursuit of the illusive coin the Standing Liberty Quarter. Jack

This is my favorite coin find of 2016.

My goal for 2017 is to find the missing piece... until then.. I prefer to think of this as a key date Washington

My best coin of the year - 1869 Sheild nickel

Although I hit it with my shovel. This is my favorite and my oldest. THis is a pretty old coin for my area of Minnesota.
