    I really wish this coin had not come up again! Suggestion, send it in to our host. SEGS and I may have a different definition for "Enhanced Surfaces." :wink:

    There goes the neighborhood. :D

    I noticed that I got 6 badges in the past week or so. I think they were catching up with some housekeeping ,as some of them were old news (I got badges for 1000 Likes at the same time as 1500 likes, for example). .

    Here's my dream coin. Gonna take winning the the lottery for me to obtain one,however.This one is especially nice in my opinion. I would pay upwards of $10M for it....

    I'm confident that my new icon, which has 22 likes at this writing, will carry me to victory in this contest.

    Having said that, being awarded a fourth star would be reward enough for me. Stars do not come easy for me but they mean so so much to me... >:)

    I bought this 1853 half cent from a pawn shop, I did not notice it was altered until I got it home. The alteration is what makes it one of my favorite coins (how can you pick just one favorite?)

    I believe this alteration to be period to the piece, perhaps during the civil war. I think it is impressive what David Hooton was able to do with such a small area to work with.

    It may have been done for him as a birthday gift.

    I could never post just one favorite, as each and every coin to me is very special. This one was a big gamble for me back in 2010. An old veteran collector had gotten into my head and talked me into purchasing original coins. I bought this one along with my fully original, pearl-centered and chestnut brown, 1918 S CAC. I purchased this particular one, as well, because I thought it had original surfaces, too. Well, I've gone back and forth on whether I like it or not but, to this day, I could not find a better one for the price and I really like the looks of the Trueview. So, in my set it remains amongst the others. It has a beautiful blue and violet color/tone, when tilted in the light at just the right angle.

    Thanks for the chance @paradisefound we love you girl! <3

    I guess I am getting old. When I saw the picture of a 1972 proof set I wondered why a common low value set like that would be someone's favorite. But, as a birth year and gifted set that makes total sense.

    My own birthyear set is just a tad older and contains silver. B) When i was being gifted a set back in the day it was an inexpensive set as well, but it is a special memento.

    Just something about a toned Carson City GSA...... I call this my OMG coin, because this is what I thought when I first laid eyes on it. Still feel that way to this day, many, many years later.

    Edited to add: Photo by Todd Pollock, and not "juiced" in the slightest!

    Gotta also say OMG!!!

    I guess I've been hanging out here too long.....am I correct that those two little black tabs mean that it is still in the GSA holder?

    Something from the GSA sale

    Congrats on your milestone.
