Just got delivery on my “White Whale” CWT Store Card. Never thought I would own it, but never say never I guess. Need to decide on my next dream coin. It’ll probably be a W. Jackson Store Card, a rarity 10.

I've been hoping that a complete run of gold proof sets will show up in my desk drawer -- but so far, nothing except some excess dust and an expired stink bug.

What coins would you like to collect? I know you've mentioned several times that the coins you like to collect are out of your budget so you don't collect any coins at all. But, what do you like? I'm curious what are your collector preferences?

18th and early 19th century US types; patterns; sandblast proofs; British, German and Russian types; medieval silver; Greek states....just 'ordinary stuff.'
Comments
Here are some that I saw at the time but didn't win.
William H. Key Fire Department Parade medal in white metal.
John J. Ford Jr. California Gold Mines specimen.
Columbian Exposition Medal by St. Gaudens.
61-D gold dollar
Overland Trail Collection Showcase
Dahlonega Type Set-2008 PCGS Best Exhibited Set
Gloucester Token in a dealer's junk box. In the 1970's we certified one of these handed down in a Virginia family.
Was that the one that finally allowed for the complete legend to be understood?

Not to my knowledge. It went right back to the family. I have no idea if they put it up for auction at a later date.

Yes. I can't find them anywhere and I am willing to pay $200 just to see one!
