    A nice grade, nicely toned type coin. I have a weakness for unexpected upgrading!

    Proof Conder tokens. I have about half a dozen of them now and I'm chasing four more in an auction next week. They are just amazingly beautiful and the idea that I can pick up these 210 year old proof coins at such affordable prices compells me to buy them whenever possible.

    Chopmarked minors are hard for me to pass up since they are at least somewhat scarce. Nice, original early 20th century Canadian silver 5 and 10 cent pieces are also hard for me not to buy since they're usually cheap relative to their scarcity.

    I tend to be a sucker for Today's Best Deal. At local shows I ask dealers I have known for some time what their best deal is today. They usually have something recently purchased that they are trying to turn quickly or something that has been stinking up their inventory that they just want to get out of. Either way, one man's garbage may often be my treasure.
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    I can't resist pre-WWI proof coinage with heavy, frosted devices, deeeeeeeeeeeep mirrors and pristine hairline free surfaces. I'm doing the Homer Simpson drool right now just thinking about them!
