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.

I don't have one favorite, but I haven't posted this one in a long time. Amazing how fast 20 years go by. Congrats!
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?
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.
US half dollars (1839-1891) condition G04 to F12
My how time flies! I just went 21 years here in May.
I love so many of them, it's impossible to pick a favorite. This one just came from a board-member friend, and I am thrilled to add her to the growing harem of Capped Bust Half Dollars I have been lucky enough to put together.

My favorite modern gold piece, mainly because it's almost the same dia. as a Buffalo nickel, a bit larger.
Congrats! Here's one I've been looking at lately...

My first thread in the new CU forum was January 2002. Not sure if they archived the stuff before that.
Congrats! I love them all.

This is not necessarily my favorite overall, but it’s my favorite US coin.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Twenty years! That sounds like so long, doesn't it?

Congrats on 20 years! I have two favorite coins. This CC gold half eagle is my new favorite US coin and this Macedonian Tetradrachm is my new favorite Ancient coin!
Happy 20th........
