I'd be happy with it too. She's better than what most collectors have. Which is none.
Well...you set the bar quite high...beautiful coin. I worked hard for these two at the time...
Take care...CC
Impressive examples from Carson City! Thanks for sharing
I worked a lot to get this tuff Merc variety.
I worked hard for this!!!! Just got it yesterday!
Wow, I had no idea how rare those are. Nice example!
I have to ask: what is it?
Sorry I Was sort of wondering that myself. I was liking the red color which made me buy it!
It’s nothing as Beautiful as your coin different league!
Here is the discription.

In 1964 I made $50 at $1.25 an hour and bought this little darling:
United States $20 1927

Since exonumia has been posted, I'll assume anything goes. I worked pretty hard for this one.
All is fair game, Thanks for sharing @kbbpll !

This pair took a while to both earn and find.. someone offer me a similar looking 1797 in 15 or 20!

Definitely a pair to be proud of @Baley , thanks for the pics!
This is the second one I've had. The first, a VF, had to be sold for "home improvement." This one will be staying home.
Oddly enough there are 2 coins I have always wanted and both are English Provincial (conder) tokens.
One is a silver proof, exceedingly rare. For the Red Lion Inn. First of all it took years fro one to come available,
which ended up in England, so I had. To stay up all night and hear and see the bidding live. It was down to me and one guy in the audience. The bidding was furious and many oooo’s and ahhhh’s could be heard. I really though I would lose this one.
But I stood strong, stepped up and know it’s mine forever while I’m on this planet.

The second one is also a Conder token. This design resonates with me on many levels. They are rare but not exceedingly.
But to find one that is really nice and has that super red/brown mix that I like took very many years.
This to will be with forever.

I have always worked hard for my coins....and each one is special - so no pictures
My CC Morgan series was a bit of a long haul though...Started with GSA's in original, unopened containers... then added a couple more...then it became a bit of an obsession until complete...I now tend to avoid series....much more relaxing. Cheers, RickO
I recall having to work hard to get 8 other Morgan off center and broadstruck errors sold off to buy my avatar.
Well it may not be a super expensive coin but it’s my hard earned overtime money blue collar cash baby

Congratulations on the 11-d!

The 1907 High Relief was always a favorite for me and I was finally able to afford in purchasing one 17 years ago.
This coin depicts the Colosseum and was minted for and handed out at its inaugural games. It was a sacrifice to purchase at that point and is still one of my favorites:
Thanks for all the great coins and stories everyone, appreciate the info!
waited a long time for a DBSE dollar that had the look I like and fit the budget.
Low grade but ever since I knew coins could be rare, I wanted one.
@kaz OFF CENTER BUST!
I'm STILL working on that one. I sure wish Perkins would take down the CAC VF30 in his SOLD section.
Looked at and bid on quite a few 1825 B-1 quarters over the years, after having the variety on my want list for so long, finally secured this PCGS F12 example for my collection a couple years ago

I was born in 1958, and love Franklins. There was one 1958 Franklin proof die pairing that produced an amazing black and white cameo contrast on both the obverse and the reverse. There were probably on the order of 12 - 14 of the proofs produced before the cameo contrast started to deteriorate. It took me 16 years to find one of the first few struck from the pair.

1863 Good For a Scent/Excelsior Club 22 Elm St Civil War Token. R-10
When I started collecting tokens and medals from Joseph Merriam, this piece was the show stopper. Unobtainable. The only known survivor from the American Civil War, and it was entrenched in a world class collection of exonumia.
Well, about 5 years ago this dream coin of mine became available, and I convinced the seller to give me some time (a lot of time) to pay for it.
My biggest purchase in the hobby, and I've never regretted it.
