It's that time of year. Post a coin, medal, or token that you are thankful to own.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. As most of us are off today, there is some time between family gatherings and guests to reflect upon our collections.
Post a coin, medal, or token you are thankful to own!
Henry Clay, The Eloquent Defender of National Rights by Joseph Merriam (1860) NGC MS65 ex. John J. Ford
This is a rare piece, and one of the most eye appealing medals in my Merriam collection. Joseph Merriam struck these along with other medals of US Presidents, politicians and well known citizens of the day at the dawn of the US Civil War. All of his material is quite scarce, as he struck them in very limited quantities. Medals from his shop struck in solid silver are extremely rare, if not unique.
I'm thankful this one made its way to my collection a few years ago.
Thanks also go out to @Broadstruck for seeing this one in John Kraljevich's inventory and thinking of me.

My most beautiful ERROR ...... One of the Kind; a GIFT from CU members
Will later generations of collectors flock to have a grading insert signed by Joe Orlando? Not trying to ruffle any feathers, just a thought.

That level of detail is just incredible.

Latin American Collection
Cool stuff John.
I have seen other members post these types of detailed medals and ...bigger is better!
The only plasters of an accepted US Mint coin that are privately available. The design was subsequently unaccepted, but that's the only reason why they are available.
Some of my nicest additions to my set this year

Thankful for family, a solid roof over my head, a decent paying job, good benefits and the awesome people here on the forums. One of my special pieces as least to me. Bought here on the BST from Todd P.
