    Hard to post just 1. But, it allowed me to pay off the mortgage just before Covid hit. I sleep better now. :D

    I’m going to take a moment to grieve for this glorious coin ... 🥲 And you didn’t even let me say goodbye.

    Lot's of pretty coins here.

    No pic, but sold a $2.50 Indian 1911-D in rattler MS-63 in 1998 - 1999 to help pay for a house remodel. Easily a 64 in today's market, and I sold it in a downturn for that date/mm. C'est la vie.

    Admittedly, I'm not a big US coin guy, but I wish I kept this Fugio (apologies for the bad photos, only ones I can find from back then)

    For world coins, it would have to be this 1859 DPN9 T1 Large Cent that I won for less than $500 on ebay... graded MS-63

    Hated to hear this. One of my favorite coins here on the forum.

    Nothing special other than it was special. Of the couple hundred Jeffs I've sold over the years, this is the one that still causes me to ask myself, "What the aych eee double hockey sticks were you thinking?" It was even prettier in hand. Look forward. Look forward ...

    Wow that is stunning! Appears to be PL as well.
    I’m sure the current owner is proud to own it. I just hope it’s still in the ogh.

    I regret buying this coin more than selling it, I paid way too much and chalk it up to a learning experience with that dealer. Still stings.
