Show-off your showcase and favourite coin in the showcase
Here is my current ever expanding project (tip of the hat to Mr Agre and Mr Lustig) or what started as a few 8 reales and is now evolving into a denomination set of everything Latin American or connected to it.

but this is one of my faves, as it's a desirable coin in a desirable grade and holder, that I'm sure even the most jaded dealers on the bourse would
still make an offer on:
And I like this one, as it's my only true 'green copper' large cent - and I don't see many of these around anywhere - and it's in an old rattler holder:
Gorgeous half.65?

BryceM, I'm in love with that standing liberty
I agree, best coin out of the lot IMO.

I love it too! I remember I was just a bit too late to the show when that one came available. Im still looking for a nice T1 for my type set.

The 1917 SLQ came from Tom Bush. I stumbled on it one evening while perusing a few dealer's sites. I wasn't really actively looking for a type I SLQ, but then, suddenly I was.

For me I love them all but this would have to be my favorite:

Latin American Collection
As you can see I am primarily a World and Ancients guy but I love US type coins, too.

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I'd do a showcase with my Box of 20, but it is a mixed PCGS and NGC set.
Everything here is eyecandy, but here are two that caught my eye the most so far:
If I have seen a more beautiful SLQ than that before, I don't remember it.
Egads! My jaw dropped so hard, my chin hit the desk. What's the grade on that moose?
Boosibri- is that 4-escudo in the OP in NGC plastic, and if so, how were you able to register it on this side of the street? I see white prongs.

AU58 LordM.
Bought it at a local coin show newly graded from an old collection where it had been raw. Paid the dealer $650.

It was originally in a NGC 64 and crossed over to a PCGS 64.
A few of the coins in my showcase are in ngc plastic. To allow for inclusion in the album I just search the Internet for as close an example that I can find to my coin in PCGS plastic and add it to inventory.
For example my Argentinian Sol is a 66 not a 62 or whatever it shows and my Spanish 4 reale is a 63 and not a 40.

Seems to me the 1795 Brand Knoxville Morelan or the 1800 Fairfield Morelan would be pretty good places to start. Godzilla and King Kong...
