This 1921 buffalo nickel was purchased from Andy at "Angel Dee's" I bought this piece about 10 years ago and is a mainstay in my collection. In my life I have never seen such a beautiful buffalo nickel. It's also my mothers birth year.
This is without question my favorite coin in my collection.
Do you have to take iodine tablets when you handle that coin for long periods of time? That thing is gorgeous!!!

Yes, now I can post the pic but it shows up as a 'file' [see below] and people have to click on it to see it.
I used to be able to just post the pic ?
And yes this is a favorite, not sure it is THE favorite though.

1630BostonPosts, there appears to be a new button / drop down on the top line when you post a message or edit. The next to the last one on the right is to attach a file (NOT TO ATTACH AN IMAGE / PHOTO). The one on the far right is to attach an IMAGE. Using this will attach and post the photo.
You can then click on preview to see if you have the photo included. Once you have it right, click on "Post Comment."
I had this problem this morning also. It appears that they added the new button last night (?).
For 30 or so years I have collected the Dollars of 1798 by Die Marriage and Die State. I especially love late die states.
Here is one of my favorite 1798 Dollars, a Very Late Die State 1798 B-16, BB-110 (Bolender-16, Bowers Borckardt-110) die marriage in PCGS MS62 CAC. This is an R-6 die marriage, with 20-30 known examples. The majority of the these are found in lower grades.
This is the only Mint State example of the Die Marriage, and the only example with a cud. Very few early dollars are known with cuds.
Bolender published his book The United States Early Silver Dollars from 1794 to 1803 in 1950. At the time of publication he had only seen one example of this die marriage! The Bolender example grades PCGS AU55 today, and is the second finest known example to me. The Bolender 1798 B-16, BB-110 is part of the Miller early dollar collection and can be seen on my website at:
1630Boston - Your 1799 Dollar appears to be a nice example of the 1799/8 B-3, BB-141 die marriage with the "15 Star Reverse."
There is part of the 8 showing under the second 9 in the date, resulting in the 1799/8 overdated obverse die.
For those not familiar with the 15 Star Reverse (vs. the "normal" 13 Star Reverse), look closely at the bottom of the first and last clouds on the reverse. If your eyes are sharp or you use a magnifying glass on the photo, you can see a star point peeking out from the lower part of each of these two clouds!
This same reverse die was also paired with regular 1799 dated obverse (with no overdate).
I originally bought it in an OGH as a 62. It received the 62+ and then cac'd. With that said I believe it should be in a 3 holder. The glamour shot makes it look better than at actually is. It dosent show the slight hairlines that it is.

Modest, honest, original:
One of my favorites because of the rarity and history.
This one has stunning color in hand. Reminds me of a Midwest summertime sunset
I Have several but always like these two
Lafayette Grading Set

First Charlotte mint coin... the one that started it all.
I kind of like this one. Looks better than 64.

Any Ideas.

Tough to choose. I suppose it would be the 1815/2 AU58+. I've shown it before. Hope you don't mind seeing it again.

Yes they added a new button to the interface.
The far right hand button gets you the pic inside the message
The button second from the right, gets you an attached file
My 1921 peace......I just love the crusty look!
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
If you want an image to appear alongside your text just drag it in. No need to use any of the tool buttons.

Not my most expensive large cent, but I find it unusually eye appealing. Bought from CRO.

Beautiful Large Cent Sonorandesertrat ! Looks like it would be exceptionally lustrous and iridescent in person.
I like!

It is 1799/8
Good observation
Not sure about the die marriage though, I will check.

I'm sure you guys are sick of my posting it but this has been my favorite since I purchased it.
Worth a bigger image.....................
PR62+
Sorry if I've posted this 1814 E/A 63 CAC before, but the post did say your favorite coin....
Dave
Nice additions.
As others have said, it is tough to choose but today I choose this one.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Only a 62?? Wow!
I originally bought it in an OGH as a 62. It received the 62+ and then cac'd. With that said I believe it should be in a 3 holder. The glamour shot makes it look better than at actually is. It dosent show the slight hairlines that it is.
Mot really my favorite, but when I asked Watson to find my favorite coin, it chose this one.
