U1chicago's top 9 US for 2021 - video edition

Another year is almost in the books and so it's time to share my favorite purchases of 2021.

The list is in order of date acquired-I liked these too much to figure out an order based on favorites.
There is some variety although the dominant theme is toners. Morgans are a coin I tend to focus on but this year only one made the list (it is very worthy though). Columbians are another favorite of mine and two made the list: a 58 star toner was a must have from the moment I saw it pop up for sale and the prooflike was another long term goal. This forum has inspired me to look at tokens more (thanks @Zoins ), so it's no surprise that several made the list and one came courtesy of @coinsarefun (a big thank you for the Prima Beer token). We round out the list with a few other common coins with uncommon color: a Silver Eagle (never planned on buying a toned one until I saw this), a Proof Franklin (harkens back to one of my first collections-a proof Franklin set but now with color), and a mint state Quarter (nice color on a date that isn't as often found with such).

Each item has a video and you can use the arrows on the sides to scroll to see the other side.
Please feel free to comment with which is your favorite.
