"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. (Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal.
It was a good year with several noteble buys but the final buy of the year was the Best by far. 1688 American Plantations Token Arms Transposed. Not only an R7 rarity that hardly ever appears for sale I got it as a Full Cherrypick off Heritage at about 1/10 of its value! .
I have a few favorites. Because I love Large Cents so much, this would probably rate number one.
1849 Braided Hair Cent. N-22. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State B/C (N-6). MS-65 RB (PCGS). CAC
Pedigree: Howard R. Newcomb; Stack's sale of the Floyd T. Starr Collection, June 1984, lot 603; Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the R. E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. Collection, Part III, September 2009, lot 951; Legend Numismatics; Cardinal Collection.
My father gave me his WW2 Victory Medal (right), and his father's WW1 Victory Medal (left) this year.

I guess my house is my favorite purchase
This was my favorite because of the drama. My house was a fair enough investment, on the flip side
