Also known as the "hey, I got a good pic of my favorite coin and wanted to share" thread.

Too difficult.

Well, perhaps my most sentimentally-valued non-dug coin is also, as it happens, an 1827 square-base-2 Bust half.

I've had it since 1977, when I was a mere kid. But it ain't as nice as yours. It's a cleaned but colorfully retoned EF45, with a slight rim bump. Cleaned it myself when I was a dumb kid, but it's had over two decades to retone and looks very pretty now- despite the fact it would never slab.

Very Nice Half

My favorite is always the newest added to the collection. This one has been with me for about a week. A nice trade from Wayne Herndon.

Here's another one. I love the pic, really. It's a good MS63 market graded to 64 (as most CCs are).

here is one a nice 66

BAJJERFAN · October 1, 2004 10:54AM

and this 94 in 62 which is scarce as hen's teeth these days.

ER · October 1, 2004 10:57AM

Keep them coming, guys.

Oldnewbie · October 1, 2004 10:57AM

My very first Flowing Hair dollar. I've wanted one since I was a kid but could never afford one until now. This one is so original looking it's scary. I just bought it from Evan at Aspen Park Rare Coins.

The photo dosn't do justice to the coin. To say I'm happy would be an understatement.

My icon coin:

BAJJERFAN · October 1, 2004 11:20AM

A nice 03-S in 63 with blazing luster!!

BAJJERFAN · October 1, 2004 11:21AM

An equally nice 04-S in 63 too!!

Stuart,
Fantastic !!!!! It doesn't get much better than that !!!

Craton · October 1, 2004 1:02PM

A VERY cool coin that I wish that I never would have sold.

Damn I love proof Morgans.

TommyType · October 1, 2004 1:51PM

Somebody ALWAYS comes along and ruins the grading curve.

And...Mr. Stuart sir? I know you don't know me, but I'm about to do you a BIG favor. I will trade that recent date dollar of yours for this 1798. I'll even throw in the file marks for FREE.

Nice "Two Leaves" dollar.

Edit: Dang, is my face red.

stman · October 1, 2004 2:08PM

I wish, it's a half, if you were referring to me thanks though.

Actually this is my favorite...

Myqqy · October 1, 2004 2:08PM

This particular morgan is a common date, but I love the colors on it......

Oldnewbie · October 1, 2004 2:25PM

Oh crap, is my "Newbieish" showing??? I've got a lot to learn. I took a quick look and thought it was a two leaf dollar.

I'm still having fun, however, and trusting my fate (as I learn more and more) into HONEST dealers.
