This forum has helped me take my coin collecting in different directions. I couldn’t post this earlier, because the auction just closed out. As with others, it appears my new favorite, while gold, is no longer US. That said, it’s old ✔️; it’s gold ✔️; I’m part Finnish ✔️; I actually liked the holder.
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
There's some really fantastic stuff in this thread! It's great to see what's happening with y'all. I had a hard time deciding but I guess this one's my favorite of 2020: (Edited to add- Thanks @sedulous for images.)
Probably not of great interest to most but this DDR proof was cherry picked off eBay and allowed me to have 100% completion on all Lincoln Proofs Variety sets that require this variety. I call it my Covid coin.

That is decent spread for a modern doubled die, esp a proof

So, the coin that excited me this year:
Such a tough coin and the photos don’t do it justice. Ex. Boosibri:
Favorite was the purchase of a shop in 2020. And on the other side ( of the shop) ; my wife ... what a blessing, in such a strange year.

Really love this one after looking for years for the right one. Japanese trade dollars of the 420 grains variety PL Obv
Love this one too!

I just like seeing coins that were never meant to be pocket pieces be pocket pieces

Not a coin I know, but Lincoln on a Lincoln Bank note was too nice to pass up.
Ok, and just FYI my eyes are not brown and they wont change.
I was steering towards my avatar coin, Canadian 25 cent.
But this takes the cake.
@TennesseeDave I’m not a fan of the trade dollar design generally, but your coin looks like a SUPERB example. Bravo!
