I love items with a personal connection to an event, place, or person.
President Ronald Reagan's personal presentation medal, made by the Medallic Art Company (MACO), was awarded to world leaders and cabinet members. This particular example was presented to Sir Bernard Ingham, Chief Press Secretary to Margaret Thatcher.
What's your favorite numismatic item?

I love the medals of the presidents in the first half of the 20th century
I had a large collection of Lincolniana at one time. I collected medals by King number, RNC badges, you name it. Books, CDV’s, ribbons, went nuts. Sold everything several years ago when I got back into US coins. Everything that is except my Brenner plaque, some prints and photos, busts, things that I could display. Still have my Lincoln postcards and stamps as well. Not much of a market for those. My favorite medal I think was a Bovy medal in its presentation case. Campaign medals may have been my main focus. Fun but addictive.
