You have this now? I used to own it. I thought it was with someone else unless it was you I spoke to on IG a while back. Amazing one in hand, stunning! Wish I still had it

This cent wasn’t quite like this when I got it a few years ago. I took it out of the album to photograph it, and marveled at what happened in the meantime. It’s in an Intercept Sheild album so I don’t expect any more changes.
Also love this modest proof from my birth year set. The warm colored toning just pleases me more than blast white would do.

The seller's photo looked like this, only showing dark surfaces and a XF-AU circulated cameo appearance that I like. No hint of any colorful toning at all.
I was delighted with the color when it arrived. Turn up the exposure and light, and out pops the color. This edited Trueview shows much of its color. At AU53, it's not worth enough to merit grading, but I "adore" this Lincoln so much that it was among the first four coins I had graded from my collection ahead of other, more valuable coins.
Edited for horrible writing.
This coin has a ton of eye appeal for me AND also what I'd call "character". Guess I would say I adore your Lincoln Comm!

William Pitt, the Englishman who fought hard in Parliament to repeal the Stamp Act of 1766.
The Stamp Act, and the anger it elicited among the American Colonists, can be considered the first act of the long road which led to the American Revolution 10 years later and ultimately, American Independence.
William Pitt was honoured and held in high steem for his actions by the American Colonists, and this Farthing (along with the Halfpenny) reflect this.
This is my first pre-33 us gold coin. It, along with some posters here, started me working on a set of 12. Included with that set I want to get at least 1 coin from every mint as well as adding a classic head $2.5 and $5 at some point.
Tonedeaf is a nickname given to me in reference to my guitar playing ability.
This was the very first FS 68-D Jeff ever graded when I saw it in the mint cello I was so excited. There has only been 1 more in the last 20 years. Gorgeous mint set toning for such a rare coin. The hack on the face is disappointing but I love this coin and always marvel at it.
This is not my scarcest or nicest T$ but I have an irrational love for it. It is fully PL and would have been the first chopped T$ to earn that designation if not for a tiny bit of rub on the eagle's head keeping it AU.

This coin plus a few others are on my list after I finish building my lake. Beautiful coin.

I really like this William Pitt Farthing, 1766.

This coin is a witness to this historical era.
Don’t come across these too often
One of my newest additions and yes a coin I “adore”

I love my MS 65 double eagle!
I remember seeing that on past threads, it is a beauty, indeed!
This is one that I have that looks similar and is one that I’m fond of:

Can't tell from the luster coming off it in that photo. I could enjoy a blast Pan Pac or Lincoln. They are beautiful in any color state.
Can't post file type of video.
Haven’t found the right Pan Pacific yet, but here’s a blast white Lincoln.

I really miss this p55 small eagle. Resides in an NGC62 holder now.
It only took me forever and a day to find this relatively clean cheek specimen. I do adore this coin.
My only ancient; special to me for reasons that don't need relating, in addition to the obvious ones:
Not a MS coin, but it has something else going for it. I love the light golden patina on this one.
Awesome coins everyone.
