Post a picture of your favorite coin from your entire collection

Please limit it to one coin (I know that can be difficult - don't worry, coins don't have feelings and won't be jealous of your favorite)

    These are all excellent coins, but I'm just waiting for tradedollarnut to swoop in and leave something nuclear.

    No picture, but mine is a 1799 Draped Bust Dollar in VF.

    Northcoin...thanks for the history lesson on your double eagle. Is there a reason it's been left in the Segs holder instead of crossing to PCGS? I'm not that familiar with Segs that's why I ask. It is an incredible piece of numismatic history and I'm glad I asked for favorites. I had never seen this coin or read about its background before.
    I am really enjoying viewing these masterpieces you all have shown thus far. Being a relative novice to collecting and not having funds to own most of these it is an awesome opportunity to enjoy the beauty and history that others possess and graciously share. Thank you.

    your question is answered in the OP. it's because of the provenance.

    You didn't say US Coin.....

    How could it not be a nearly 2,000 year old coin with my name on it? I need to take better photos.

    Nice coin

    @steveben - I just saw your response which is exactly correct. (I could have saved myself from my more lengthy response if I had caught yours first :) )

    I liked the long response. The details of its history are fascinating. Hope you get to Paris for the comparison of the museum piece and are able to share photographs of the two side by side with us at a future date.

  • So many favorites but here's one that hits close to home for me.

    Really? I have more!
    I need to break out my camera and laptop and take pictures because I'm just taking them from my cell phone and it's way to slow of a process

    I'd still have to say this girl. Picked her up at Long Beach a year or two ago for the ridiculous sum of $50 raw. The dealer must have thought it was AT but I knew better and he didn't even see that it was a very popular VAM too :smile:


    The more you VAM..
