Labor Day weekend is upon us!
Post something you are proud to own after working hard all year.

This is a spectacular error and features one of the most iconic designs of all Civil War tokens, William Bridgens' cigar smoking eagle.

Very nice @DCW . I really haven’t worked hard this year but in a way it’s been a very hard year.
But, not complaining. I will say the hardest one I had to work for, meaning chasing it since it sold back at 2007 auction has to be this one. But, most people would have guessed it.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Congrats.
Absolutely love that one, and I too have been chasing it since the Dice-Hicks sale!
I'm calling dibs if you ever sell. 😆
Have a great weekend, Stef

Not sure how to show a picture of my whole collection. That’s really what was hard to earn for me. But sentimentally, I should show a picture of my family. Hard to earn and late in coming but a blessing nonetheless.

I collect coal scrip. The men who had use it really worked for it. Respect to them.
I live 20 minutes from Seneca Falls, and haven't been able to locate even a normal strike of the Skidmore token. Congrats !

I always like seeing the cars... the memo did not reach everyone in that we did not see a Studebaker Avanti or a1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II
See my icon here and on this forum and I suspect you might have a better chance of seeing my 1734 Crown than a Lincoln Continental Mark II
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Happy Labor Day, everyone! These coins, cars, and properties are the fruits of our Labor. We live in the greatest nation in the world, where we can succeed or fail based on our on intellect and ambition.
It is a day to reflect not only on our hard work, but on the good old United States of America for the opportunities we all have.
Enjoy the day!

Worked hard for this one: PF 67+ Cam/CAC. Proud to be it's temporary caretaker.
Sweet!
This is my sons Monty. It was my dads and I took it to HS prom 1989. My son took it to his HS prom too.
Very nice. Mine's an Aerocoupe (very rare) with 60K on the clock. It sat in dry storage for 25 years without being cranked. I've been trying to buy it for the past 21 years but the owner wouldn't sell. She died in June 2020 and I bought it from the estate six weeks ago. I gave it new tires, gas and a battery and she's purring like a kitten!

Tried to buy this twice at auction, a third time from a dealer, and finally I put together a massive trade to acquire it earlier this year:

My first "big boy" coin, about $1200 back in 2003. Took that plunge and haven't looked back.

Very nice!!! My Master Sergeant had a 1973 Mach 1. I thought it was the baddest car on the planet.
My oldest daughter just had almost the exact same house built for her in Edmond, OK. It even has that pillar in front with the house number. Very nice!!! Enjoy!!! (Grandma did have a hard time getting up to the 2nd floor.)
Turn of the century year 1900 regular strike coins. I didn’t go as far as every mintmark which would have been beyond my budget. They are a mix of MS and AU, no gems but examples that show all of the design details.
Absolutely stunning! Of all the incredible toned coins you have posted, that comes close to taking the cake!

This was 3 years in the making until April
These are my reward for selling our rent house a few months ago. They just showed up on Friday.
2nd house I owned and then rented a few years and then sold for a (small) profit. Bought at the height of the last bubble, right as I got my first “real” job. Worked hard to keep that roof over my family’s head.
This rare little gem I worked out a deal for last year. I never thought my wife would own such incredible coins when I started collecting. 😂 The hard work has definitely paid off.
