Post a Coin That You Bought at an ANA

ANA Shows tend to be one of the numismatic highlights of the year for those fortunate enough to attend, with a vast array of numismatic material from which to choose. Here is a coin that I bought from Doug Winter, which was auctioned at the first ANA that I ever attended: the 1993 Baltimore summer show. It is an 1850-D gold dollar, one of the most underrated, from the Billy Fuller Collection of Charlotte and Dahlonega gold, which was auctioned by Heritage in Baltimore.

The 1993 Baltimore ANA was a special one for me, a show that I attended with my late Father. The numismatic treasures that I obtained help to keep the pleasant memories fresh in my mind. The photography is courtesy of Todd Pollock (BluCC Photos).

I think this coin was my first ANA purchase:

Picked this beauty up in Pittsburgh. The reverse is incredibly deep!

My 1809/6 1/2c.

I bought this at Spring ANA in Portland a few years ago.
What makes the purchase of this coin extra memorable for for me is that when I went back to the dealer's table to purchase it I had an opportunity to show it to three forum members who happend to be on that aisle at the time WTCG, Meltdown, and Bochiman.

btw, that's an mgoodm3 image.

My only purchase from the Chicago ANA last year. Purchased from Rick Snow from a stack of new pieces he had buried and unpriced in the back of his case. This Todd Pollock pic truly does not do justice to the popping luster on this copper.....
