well that depends on the deffinition per person...I know I have a wheat and an indian worth more than my oldest coin.But lets see,Im not a coin hunter,but I have found a counterfeit 1828 half cent,1817 large cent,1827 half cent,1829 large cent ,1838 large cent all of these found at the same spot...Personally I like the half cents.
I also found two flying eagles which I like alot.Then my silver 1852 three cent piece is another nice one.Other than these I have some seated coins which are pretty ok and a lot of Indians but my key date 1864 is absolutly beautiful,you've seen that one.Thats about it for me.

In no particular order, 1794 large cent (head of 1793 variety), 1803 large cent (small date, large fraction variety), 1826 1/2 franc (thought it was a dime until I cleaned it) 1858 Flying Eagle cent, 1861 Indian Head, all of the 1870s Indian heads minus the 1877, 1891 and 1893 V nickels, 2 1864 two cent pieces, 1836 Large cent. Aww heck, Ill guess Ill just make it easier. Any penny before 1880, any nickel before 1920, any silver before 1916, or any non minted denomination, such as half cents, two cent pieces, three cent pieces and half dimes.

1857 Seated Liberty Dime or Half Dime. It's been awhile, I'm not sure anymore. The coin was beautiful. I got a nice chunk of change for it, so I sold it. It was about 5 years ago.
