Hey guy's, I know this can really be a tough question for some of you. So, If you had to choose just one, which would it be? Value might not even play a part, it's the one that you really enjoy handling, owning, hunted down and/or gazing at the most!
Here's mine. This one has my VOTE!
1864L AG 03 RPD PoP 1
My running mate.
1968s PF. 66 DDR
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.8

Great questions, I'll have to think about that. I only have 49 coins, could be a tough choice.

I guess it would be my most recent purchase, if only because it would remind me that even in crazy 2020, I did accomplish one good thing

Not my most expensive, but two of my favorites. The Frank completed the set and was an anniversary present. The Micro S is one I’ve wanted for a long time but never found one I liked that fit my budget (at least at that moment). Also my first and only CAC coin.
Vote for Pedro!
Really love these two.

With how the night is going. I vote this monstrosity.
In tribute of how we rarely seem to elect (or even nominate) the best persons for the job, I vote this coin of mine:
Looking for that blank planchet ,to go with my stare.
