Late to the Party but had 4 cups of coffee today. Wired to the hilt.
Partially, because my newest acquisition is an early Draped Bust dime - 1805 JR-1. The JR-1 variety has 5 berries on the olive branch on the reverse. Currently, it's the highest graded CAC JR-1. The 1805 JR-2 has 4 berries and it's a rarity 1, the JR-1 is considered a rarity 4. I was patiently waiting for a nice example for many years. Yeah, I am very picky.
Again, alot of very nice eye appealing coins in this thread! Way to go guys!
Oh God. Folgers. And Maxwell House. With desalinated water. And the requisite "JP-5" film. Oh my, that just has me longing for days gone by!!
36 years ago, I was this guy

I remember the fuel slick in the bug juice, while brushing my teeth. and of cousre the rush of JP5 while taking a shower. Those were the days of my life on an aircraft carrier.

Barry, my apologies, as I didn’t know you wanted that lovely coin. I was the underbidder that locked in the two bids before your high bid. UGH, I feel horrible! 😢

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Had a really hard time capturing the actual look of this one in hand. This is pretty far from perfect, but it's as close as I was able to get. The coin is nice, and there's nothing especially wrong with the coffee.
@EastonCollection Oh my, what a fantastic addition. I wasn't able to view in hand, but it looked (looks) so all the way there from the images. Congratulations!

I have got to chime in to say how much I like this beautiful piece.
Congratulations
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

The color of this nickel is neon with outstanding luster that will bowl you over in hand. I feel very fortunate to own this beautiful 23 Buff.
