I like that I call my 1877 Indian cent "The Golden Princess"
IMO it is the finest ,most attractive mint state 1877 on the planet
PS the way how I obtained the coin is also a story .

I have a Queenie, Big Blue, Bomber and Gagger, as in that's a total Gagger- leaves you speechless.
All mental notes when I look at them but for one friend who refers to them the same.
Smoke On The Water.
Because the obverse of the cent is Deep Purple.
For someone who can afford a real gold coin, that would not be necessary.

Central American red copper is insanely rare. You will likely understand the price structure better than most.
Laura gave pet names to almost all of the Northern Lights pt 3 in the last auction
As much as I enjoy and appreciate old coins, I am not on a first name basis with inanimate objects.
Same. Except for some gf's in high school long ago.

Personally, I think if you start giving your coins pet names, I would consider that a warning sign of possible future mental illness.
