This one just makes me happy this time of year. It's a rare silver striking of the famous Civil War token.
Post a coin, medal, or token that you're most thankful for. Be safe, everyone. I'm thankful for all of you.

I am thankful for this coin which was in my father's collection and became the starting point for my type set. It was resting raw with others in a display frame when he gave it to me prior to his passing. Happy Thanksgiving !!

This arrived the day before Thanksgiving last year. I was thankful to cherry this crusty AG overdate and enjoy it while waiting for a larger order to arrive. It's one of my favorite coins for its off the chart, out of bounds crustiness. And it's a WB-1, where the overdate is visible in-hand.

Here are a couple.

Wonderful and rare piece by William Henry Bridgens!
Here are two I'm thankful to have from the same die sinker! The first is from @DCW and the second is from @SteveHayden! Thanks!
I remember that one!

Wow there are some great coins in here.
We have so much to be thankful for.
I am very thankful that this girl came to live with me earlier this year. She traces her history back to the Hamilton Collection, and the Chalkley Collection prior to that.
From the Hamilton selection, this was part of the description;
_The later state of the 1815/2 reverse die is identified by the numerous die cracks appearing near the rims and connecting many of the devices. Some clashing from the obverse appears as well. This key date consisted of 47,150 pieces, all struck from the single O-101 die pair. Bright luster complements the silver-rose surfaces, imparting bold eye appeal and eminent collectibility. This piece was described in the Chalkley Collection as being "especially well struck in the centers," which we agree with. Needless to say, this is a coin that many Bust half nuts would love to add to their collections. _

Same to you, Todd!
I am glad I bought the Libertas Americana Medal just before the prices went way up.
Nice stuff here.
My pics are on an old hard drive. Not sure if I can recover them or not.
A couple here look familiar though

One of my favorites pickups this year. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
I bought 3 $20 Liberties this year. All three were the top 3 dates I wanted. This was at the top of the wishlist.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
That is just spectacular!
2025 maybe the year I venture into Bust Halves.
