$25 seems like a generally modest price point for a coin and can buy some neat or interesting things. What is/are your favorite coin/s bought for $25 or less.

This one.
I like the 2017-S Enhanced Finish Kennedy Halfs. They have a very pleasing look IMO. Here's a CoinFacts photo:
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Wow that is fantastic @SanctionII
Excellent cherry pick!

Bought that one for $2.00 and let it sit by my window for over a year. Another favorite of mine is the 1996-W dime I bought when I was starting off with the hobby.

Hands down, it's gotta be this one! For a grand total of $1.00!! Plus grading fees that is.
From the looks of the inside of this roll, I believe these coins have been there for 22 years.

Usually BU world silver coins like Mexico. For raw coin inventory. Plus get good markup my table / shows.
I suppose if you are old enough, or include inherited coins, or just stretch the point, every U.S. business strike coin was once 'bought' at face value, which was under $25. Right?

Hard to pick one, but here's a couple I like (and have pictures).
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

This was by far my best sub $25.00 purchase. It is now in a PCGS XF40 holder and moved on to a new owner.
This in 2004.. Of course $25 went further back then.
$16.48 in American money:
Smitten with DBLCs.
Way too many to show.... been collecting for many, many years.... Lots of lovely coins for under $25.... When I lived out West, coin shows were plentiful, small and large. Always some good deals to be found. Cheers, RickO
This one is probably my favorite, I bought it for $25 and learned later that this date/condition was worth $80 on an average day, felt pretty happy about that
This coin would work for the eye appeal thread too!

Nice job on the 1934 DDO, @Aspie_Rocco! I picked off one of those raw from ebay back in 2001 and paid $35 for it and then had it certified by PCGS as MS64 and sold it a month later for $1,700. The DDO was clearly visible in the ebay images, as well, but no one bid against me.

@Aspie_Rocco this S/D raw buff is sitting on a windowsill trying to tone 🤔
