    I like both, but trains are my thing. Here's New Hope RR # 40 and 2-Lincoln Cents that it squashed.
    I did this Dec. 27, 2017.

    I like both but you can't do 160 mph on a coin. My 2015 won't be a classic for many years but she's on the way. Only have 12,500 miles on it. The last 5 miles I collected a bunch of @#$% lovebugs on the bumper, what a way to go.

    I knew I had more photos of an AMX. The owner told me that if you really cracked up the A/C, you had "snow" coming out of the vents!

    Hiere is one of my favorite classic cars, the 1959 Cadillac when the tail fins reached their zenth.

    I love both, but have an 03 Acura, bought new and still drives the same as the day I took it off the lot. It helps towards my coin budget.

    Still shopping for a classic Camaro or Corvette, maybe someday..

    For now, the coins will have to do.

    Cars for me. More memories associated with them. 64 or 65 Mustang or the Cougar. Found out it's harder to "drive" a coin. :)

    Fun thread. Love that Jaguar (XKE?) in the first photo. I used to walk by a Jag dealer who had a plethora of those on his lot back when I was a college student. Kept me motivated to keep studying. :)

    While this one isn't mine, I do own one of same color which is in need of restoration.

    And this is me and one of my rides back in my college days:

    I think I see an Elvis sighting in that Caddy's back seat!

    OK, one more I once drove:

    Anyone recognize this classic? It was being offered as a period car for the filming of a Nicolas Cage film. In the photo I took you can see the actor as well.

    I sold a few of my coins and bought this 1962 Buick LeSabre. My son has no interest in coins but loves cars. Better for me to sell them than leave them for him and my wife to deal with. We take it to local car shows.

    I have young kids so classic cars without modern safety features not really practical right now. I recently traded in my Dodge Challenger for a family vehicle. Sad, but I can always get another muscle car in the future.

    My wife is happy I collect coins and not cars as they certainly take up less space. She said I can have one classic car eventually, just one. I need to choose wisely.

    Marilyn Monroe is sitting next to him. You can barely see her red scarf. She is wearing her “Seven Year Itch” dress without the benefit of the subway vent.

    Love those classic lines!

    Coins no doubt .

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Wow, that E-type Jaguar, my favorite. I don't have the mechanical skills to own one however.

  • cameonut2011cameonut2011 Posts: 10,181 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I prefer coins for storage reasons. In the event of a fire, grabbing a brief case or duffel bag full of coins is easy.

    Throw that duffel bag in your classic sports car and go !

    Nice one. I'm a fan of 1962-1972 Buicks.
    Here is my 1968 Buick GS-Colorado:

    Coins, but those are some pretty cool cars! Always dig when the local car shows gather in Denver area in the summer. Love seeing the classics!

    GSAs, OBW rolls, Seated, Walkers. Anything old and Colorado-focused, CO nationals.



    Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.

    My first Porsche. '66 912. I drove it in college in Rhode Island, 1970 - 73. Winters be damned.

    A few years later I took it off the road when the passenger seat fell through the floorboard. Porsche didn't galvanize until the mid 70's.

    I sold it several years later. Dumb, but broke.
    Lance.
