Hard coin to a Seated Dime collector to top IMO

    That 1867 is sweet!

    Tough question...

    Although I finally acquired a Myddelton Token that I love (recently posted pics in a couple of other threads), I'd say my single best addition was this:

    1787 Fugio Restrike in Silver, MS62 [PCGS] Smith-Eliasberg, Newman 104-FF variety, low Rarity-6.

    That chain cent is very, very nice! I'd say a chain cent is high on my want list for 2008...it's the kind of coin that makes my heart flutter every time I see one. image

    It has to be the 1841 seated dollar from the Fall Baltimore show.

    I hope this turns into a 100+ post thread all with coins like these.

    i've wanted one of these since the first time i saw one.. unless i hit the lotto, or get my hands on a time machine.. i'll never own the entire Panama Pacific set (my dream set of coins).. to think that 10,000 of the total Mintage were melted after the Exposition.. because people in 1915 balked at paying $2.00 for a $1.00 Gold coin is remarkable.. and yet, perhaps not, considering $2.00 was a lot of money back then.. if you do an eBay search for 1915-S Panama Pacific, you'll see a sudden glut of these tiny Gold coins raw, with their original 1915 envelopes.. i don't know where they all suddenly came from.. and i wonder what the envelope alone would cost.. if i could find one without the coin, it'd be the perfect "holder" into which to keep this slab..

    Thanks

    I honestly hadn't thought about it at all until I saw this thread. Turns out that I didn't buy any big coins for my DMPL set at all this year. Surprises me but also is a sign that among the dates that remain open quality pieces just haven't made it to the market lately.

    There were some memorable VAM cherries this year and a few nice VAM buys. Off the top of my head, though there were many, many more:

    1878 VAM-14.16 NGC 55PL -- already slabbed and attributed, perhaps the big buy of the year
    1879-O VAM-28 PCGS 58
    1880 VAM-32A NGC 64 -- cherry
    1880-O VAM-55 PCGS 63 -- cherry
    1881-S VAM-1B PCGS 63 -- cherry
    1883-O VAM-1d ANACS 65DMPL -- cherry
    1883-O VAM-21a NGC 65 -- cherry
    1888-S VAM-13 PCGS 64 -- cherry
    1889 VAM-22 NGC 64 -- cherry
    1890 VAM-15a PCGS 64 -- cherry
    1892-S VAM-2 PCGS 45 -- cherry
    1901-O VAM-1a LDS NGC 64 -- cherry
    1901-O VAM-39a LDS NGC 65 -- cherry
    1921 VAM-3a2 PCGS 65 -- cherry
    1921-D VAM-3a PCGS 66 -- cherry (though it was competed as the VAM so not really)

    If I was to choose one that I found to be a most satisfying find, it would be the 1881-S VAM-1b. I had been looking for one for some time and finally found it. The reverse is the important side for this variety and it is wonderfully rainbow toned.

    The most important coin is probably the VAM-14.16 though.

    edited to add>>>here's the VAM-1b

    1914-d in 65red. It's fantastic!! Maybe I can get some pictures up

    Probably the 1893 Morgan in XF45. I'm doing a raw year set and a slabbed one in the Morgans. I have the 92,93,94, 95 for the slab set yet, but only the 1895 (probably New Orleans) to finish the raw set.
    Sorry I don't have photos.

    No pics available, but I think it's a toss up between an 05 O Barber Half in PC 5 and a 1919 SLQ in NGC FH 6. I've been looking for a nice Barber Half in 5 for my type set for four years, and a type II (recessed date) Stander in FH 6 for three years.

    Of course, both coins are naturally toned and attractive. Thank you Anaconda and Mark Feld. Prices for both coins were reasonable. You don't have to pay large premiums for nicely toned coins.

    Given that I have primarily been chasing two series in the last two years, I have to select one from each ...

    For the Barber quarters, I will pass over the obvious choice of the 1901-S PCGS MS66 and select instead the very beautiful and also very underrated 1909-O PCGS MS66 ex Dale Friend, which was a wonderful birthday present in Milwaukee. And for the Morgan dollars, the stupendous 1881-S PCGS MS68 ex Ron Sirna, a coin that was formerly the featured solo star of full-page color ads by ANACS advertising their new slabs (the coin was ANACS MS68 prior to gaining the same numerical honor at PCGS).

    This thread really highlights the extreme differences in our collecting budgets. Here is my very modest "best of '07" aquisition. It completed my 12 piece type gold set. Very well struck for this issue I think, most have lightness in the hair behind the ear, and again in the numerals of the date. Its entombed as a 55 by the way.

    That's a beautiful three dollar gold piece, and I really love that'17-D cent above. I think that rather than highlighting the differences between our budgets, this thread highlights the commonality of our shared enjoyment of the hobby!!! We may each participate at levels that are appropriate for our individual circumstances, but we can all share the pleasure equally.

    Let's see more of this year's favorite additions !!!
