Another DECADE over. What was your FAVORITE purchase?

ChrisRx

Since I only started getting back into coins in 2006 I had too late of a start.

So, what about YOU?

COIN PURCHASE!

silverpop

this 1919 Silver dime

AnkurJ

I also started around 2006.

After much thought I decided it's a 2-way tie. Oddly enough they're both foreign coins... even though I don't consider myself a foreign coin collector:

I only started in 08. Even so I can't say any one is a favorite over any others. Way, way too hard to choose!

Commemorative:

DAM

Here's one of them...

Barndog

if it has to be a coin, it is likely this one:

beyond

superb but for that center dot

And two cameo WLH proofs in one week is more than one usually sees in a year.

MidLifeCrisis

Hmmm....so hard to choose.

Maybe this one

This one ranks right up there.

I LOVE that 1938 proof walker Skyman! Is that Cam or DCAM?

Had a lot of fun finding these in lots:


But I think my favorite straight up purchase was this strong VG08 NGC 1916-d dime:

GrillFlame

I have three: an Oregon trail commem, and two GSA Morgan Dollars, 1883 and 1884 respectively.

Sorry no pics

I've made a lot a great coin buys in the last 10 years, but hands down it has to be the purchase I made earlier this year:

RYK

Without question, this was my favorite purchase of the decade, if not all time. It is a scarce coin (about 150 known) of my favorite denomination, historic because of the Civil War link and likelihood that it was struck by the Confederacy, and I more than quintupled my money when I sold it late in the decade.

It's in a cameo holder.

This one has stirred up the most response on the forum.

Wow, that is way cool. CRAZY!

TexasNationals

Not even close to my most expensive purchase, but for some reason she really speaks to me!

ernie11

I don't have the income to be in the big leagues of collectors. This 1885 quarter eagle was my favorite.

ricko

All my purchases are favorites..... otherwise I would not buy them. Cheers, RickO

Skyman- this 58-D is sweet..

It would have to be the late Wayne Anderson's (founder of the Conder Token Collectors Club) Wild Man token:

derryb

Picked up three raw 2006 W 3 coin gold eagle anniversary sets for 4400 each from the same seller a few months back. Eight of the coins came back 70 with one of the regular proofs coming in at 69. It made for a good flip to fund my passion $20 gold.

Love it!

Shamika

This one. A PCGS MS63 1926-S Buffalo Nickel.

UHR in 70

Tough question. Probably this one. Nothing real special, except that it's a totally honest circulated coin of a type I really like, with an appealing look and no particular marks or distractions beyond solid pocket wear and 180 years of grime.

Cameonut

An unopened 1961 proof set - purchased at a show from a first-time dealer in 2004 - that contained this doubled die reverse Franklin. PCGS PF66. Ching!
