I have to be repititious, but it's without a doubt my avatar and I should get over it but I just can't seem to.
It took me as long as it takes to make a phone call and I'll try to pick another someday, but it will ...maybe... be far in the future as I'm too prejudiced.
@MorgansForever Your 1921 Morgan Dollar has great Eye Appeal!
In addition to being Prooflike, it also appears to have some nice Cameo Contrast with Frosty Devices combined with Reflective Prooflike fields, especially on the obverse. — Also uncommon on a 1921 Morgan.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful coin with us!

I usually hesitate on every purchase, but this one comes the closest to 'without hesitation', as I didn't dicker on my LCS's asking price. I needed an Alabama, and the 2x2 was a bonus.

I had just been outbid on a significant lot and this came up for sale privately, much to my surprise. It was pricey but a better deal than the coin I lost: there's always another coin
I purchased this 1893-CC $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle without hesitation a number of years ago, when the market value was significantly lower than it is today.

Not me, I would have snapped that coin in a second.

Got this ultra rare 1913 type one three and one half legged buffalo nickel off of flea bay. Did not hesitate to pull the trigger on this one. Discovered in 1988 and first auctioned in 2003, there are now still less that 10 uncirculated pieces known
and just a few more circulated specimens. Probably less than 20 in collectors’ hands.

I love that massive die break through the 7 going towards the center of the obverse!! I would have bought that before the dealer even knew he sold it..

No hesitation on these two, after looking for years for each one.

Have been looking for a draped bust small eagle dollar with similar qualities in F15 or VF20, when found, will not hesitate...

Always wanted a trade dollar with a couple of chops on it.

At the end of last month it seems like every time I got on Ebay something neat came up and I was pulling the trigger quickly.
Had to wait for this 1 to end but got it also.

That quarter is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I would have pounced on that in a heartbeat to add it to my collection! great reflectivity and color!
Loved it the minute I saw it.
I love that massive die break through the 7 going towards the center of the obverse!! I would have bought that before the dealer even knew he sold it..
Here's a couple I knew the second I saw them, they had to come home with me.
This one I bought and sent to CAC. When the dealer quoted me the price, I had a Grinch like smile come over my face.
All three purchased this year sight unseen.

Man! Roosevelt got hit in the face with a mud pie!! Poor guy.
Won the auction for this about 15 years ago, didn't hesitate to bid nor keep bidding,
She's still the highlight of my type set
