Wow, time flies...

I ask that you post your favorite coin and how you acquired it. One per, please...

(Names will be placed in a hat and picked by my Daughter)

Winner will be announced on the 29th of December 2017, The prize will be a PCGS sample.

Thanks,
Steve~

    Wow it sure does, congrats on the 10 year mark!

    My favorite coin is easily the silver dollar. As a child in the 70's we had an elderly friend of the family, Mr. McDonald, that we met at Church and on occasion he would give my sisters and I silver dollars. I will never forget him or his kindness.

    Here is my favorite "right now." Bought it at a local regional show and just really enjoyed talking to the collector that was set up at a dealers table.

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow CommemKing that is a beautiful half dollar!!!!!
    My favorite coin is also a Morgan Silver Dollar, given to me by a friend almost 40 years ago sparking my interest in collecting!

  • hchcoinhchcoin Posts: 4,839 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @CommemKing love that design and coin. If I was going to buy one classic commemorative, that would be the one I want.

    You certainly have given back already over the past ten years. I have to say that first Incase my choice disqualify me. I bought this off the sight it’s so weird it has grown on me.

    Best place to buy !

    Congrats on ten years and thanks for the chance in your giveaway @ECHOES.

    My current favorite is this 1860-S quarter eagle, which I purchased on eBay three years ago. It's a moderately difficult date, but not overly so, and readily available in this condition. The toning, however, is special.

    Happy 10 years!
    My favorite coin is an 1803 100/000 large cent my dad bought for me circa 2007. I was about 13 at the time. I still own the coin and will never sell it.

    Thanks @ECHOES !

    Congrats on 10 years. I have learned more about coins on these boards than I could ever hope for through the Red Book! That's no slight to R.S. Yeoman either et, al.

    Here is a Morgan that was in my Great Grandfathers roll desk per my Grandmother. Should be my favorite aside from what I bought. Thanks!

    Fav coin is a 1921 peace.....why? It has a circulated cameo look to it that basically made me fall in love with it.

    Congratulations on 10 years! Thank you for being an excellent member of "The Boards"!

    WAY too many to pick one. I normally have a group of about 5 that are my favorites. Here's one I always enjoy. If I win, please give the sample to someone else, preferably a YN.

    Congrats on 10 long years! Here's to 10 more...
    This is a favorite of mine.
    Also one of my first "expensive" coin purchases after getting the bug from buying Franklins for 90% silver to filling up an album set. I found the whole 55 proof set in an antique store and paid $100 for the set. The rest of the set is long gone but this Franklin is a forever keeper.

    I'm sure people here are tired of seeing this, but it's still my favorite. Mark Feld was kind enough to review a few Heritage lots for me and we were on the phone as he reviewed them. When he got to this one he said something like "Oh Wow, what a great coin! This one is worthy of really stretching for."

    For such a big purchase I usually like to be on the phone with an agent during the auction but I was on a family vacation in Hawaii. I decided to just put in a strong bid and let the cards fall how they may. I still vividly remember sitting next to my wife on a beach on the North Shore of Oahu. I logged in to see if I won and was pleasantly surprised. When it showed up in the mail it was phenomenal. I haven't seen another 21 like it:

    This was my first HK-398. Did some serious negotiating to get it. Purchased raw, it now resides in a PCGS holder as an MS-63. I own three more now. Always looking for better or a lower number. And congrats and thanks for the giveaway!

    Cheers

    I'm a fan of Buffalo Nickels. But I've been trying to find a nice example of the 1911 Guatimoc token with the Coffee Tree reverse. Found the example below some time ago and love the simple design.
