Today marks 20 years that I’ve been taking up space here.
Lots of changes in that time. Loss some old friends, made some new ones.
It’s been a good outlet for me.
Post your favorite coin that resides in your collection.

    Congrats on 20 years!!!

    Only 208 minted (Per Yonaka) and no known 1751's that exist making it the first coin of the series. 1752 Peru Milled 2 reales. Every other year of the series has 30 000 or more minted per year. They come up for sale very rarely maybe once every 5 years or so. This one was a gift from a close family member not long ago so makes it extra special to me.

    My favorite modern gold piece, mainly because it's almost the same dia. as a Buffalo nickel, a bit larger.

    Congratulations on 20 years!

    My first thread in the new CU forum was January 2002. Not sure if they archived the stuff before that.
