Do you have names for any of your important coins?

Coinstartled · June 15, 2017 4:19PM

The wealthy often name their estates and certainly their yachts. How about the coins.

Any "Mortgage Buster" or "Retirement In A Slab" type names?

TLeverage · June 15, 2017 4:23PM

"Wish I hadn't cracked that out" and "I guess I don't NEED health insurance".

BryceM · June 15, 2017 4:24PM

My wife has a name for the entire collection.

I can't repeat it here, but the first word is "Colossal....."

MsMorrisine · June 15, 2017 4:25PM

"Sell Last"

I have names for some of my silver, but not my coins.

DRUNNER · June 15, 2017 8:35PM

Bag Burn . . .

Several here will know of it by name . . . . perhaps at a future point, all will.

The ones I have with names tend to be toners or errors. Some are ones I came up with. Some had names before I acquired them. Here are a couple:

panexpoguy · June 16, 2017 6:46AM

'Car Payment'
'Year of Mortgage Payments'
'Two semesters at Ohio State'
'What the (*&%^ was I thinking'
'Sexual copper'

I don't have any that are important. Now I could call them impotent. That's fitting.

ThePennyLady · June 16, 2017 8:01AM

This is an 1862 Indian cent in my personal collection that I found raw and is now attributed to me as "discovering" it. It's now in a PCGS MS63 holder. It's called, for obvious reasons, "The Penis Coin."

BillDugan1959 · June 16, 2017 8:51AM

Just for some of the coins that I am really buried in.

steveben · June 16, 2017 8:58AM

Should be slabbed and attributed as 'The Penis Coin!'

AMRC · June 16, 2017 9:21AM

"Expensive." But nothing beats the "Penis" coin.

it's a good thing you slabbed it, you have no idea where its been!

also, this would be a good coin for bets...because heads always wins.

Treashunt · June 16, 2017 10:40AM

I call them:

"Mine."

Appropriate that it is a Civil War coin.

uscoinguy · June 16, 2017 8:48PM

Ezmoney · June 16, 2017 9:21PM

Several...."what was I drinking?" "Stupid Money!" "Sweet behind"....some would say reverse.All my coins have a name connected to it, or a provenance. If not because of a characteristic, definitely because of a color or connection to how I aquired it it.

Not sure which is worst. " your penis was coined" or " your penis was slabbed"

ldhair · June 17, 2017 4:56AM
