Do you have names for any of your important coins?

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

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

    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:

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

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

    "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.

    Appropriate that it is a Civil War coin.

    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.

    For the most part, no. But I do have one coin that spoke to me and seemed to require a name.
