In Boosibri's Trophy Coin thread a new member, Browe, posted a coin picture with a comment that he has had the coin for over a year but he still enjoys looking at it. Do you have a coin, medal of other Numismatic artifact that you really enjoy looking at?? It could even be a catalogue or book that you find yourself drawn to repeatedly. I know that I have some medals that I inevitably look at whenever I search through a box to find something, they just seem to satisfy my coin-nerd soul.
Do you have something like that?? You don't have to post a picture(though that would be cool), but what sucks you in Numismatically speaking every time. And thank you, Browe!!

Some things "pop out" or stand out. I cannot say they're "eye candy". They're just likable to some and collectible to others. Sort of like our phone chats. Some things in my day are a highlight.
Over the course of the past 5 years, I tried to complete this set, by purchasing raw coins that were problem free.
It didn't start out that way (problem free). Submitted these for grading, recently.
Of course they will not look the same in PCGS holders, but … I just gotta know "How good's my eye, Candy ? "

It commemorates a critical sea battle during the Ango-Spanish War where ships would align themselves along side of each other to fire their cannons (these type of naval warships were called "sail of the line"). British Admiral Jervis led his 15 ships to defeat the Spanish 27 ship fleet in the "Battle of Cape St. Vincent". The token shows Neptune, king of the sea, recognizing Jervis' achievement.
There is more to learn about the history of this battle and it's significance. The condition of the token for its age is impressive. And, I enjoy the seeing Neptune's horse chariot and the reverse misspelling of "pursued".

I don't pick and choose what hops in, or pops out at a coin shop and I totally agree.

At risk of overposting this one, I must say it is the one that visually grabs me the most every time I go through the box and look at my actual coins (rather than just the pictures of them).
