Such a cool piece too😎
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
It was a honest to goodness “scratch and sniff”. THC was unknown nor did I attempt to put it in the bong🙄
Ha! Is that coin Indica or Sativa?
@Eldorado9
I’ve have a digital album “Benin Cannabis Collection”. Three are Sativa-if you have the new iPhone 12 you can scratch yourself 😜
Awesome! Is it possible to win a Registry Set award for that?
I think you forgot the “LOL” after your post. Registry Set Award? Ha, they didn’t even respond to my polite request to add
a set to the registry. But in their defense, I live in Texas where it is still a hangin’ offense! I’m thinking PCGS just didn’t need the possible / likely grief!
I just hope I don’t get arrested for having something that just “smells” funny.
I'm not joking.
There's a Registry Set award for Niue with a population of 1,620.
Benin has a population of over 7000x times more at 11.7 Million!

I have several coins that make me smile....mainly because, for the last decade, that type of coin is what I collect. This one, I keep by my computer, and smile when I look at it... Cheers, RickO
when I see your coin it too makes me smile because I know the History behind it.
I also smile when I see new comments on the post "Special Shout Out to CoinScratchFever From a YN"
It restores my faith in the good that people do for others with no expectations of something in return

That coin makes me laugh out loud simply for the year And from what I can tell this one's gonna be even better.
Side note to big tech: You can't fire me, I quit. Cancelled myself

Many lessons learned from this coin regarding grading, crossing, cracking and CAC. Not core to my collection but a keeper as a reminder of those lessons learned. Also, just a pretty coin!
The first coin in my latest collecting endeavor: a 12-piece gold type set. My goal is for all of the Liberty types ($2.50, $5, $10, $20) to be 19th Century.
1840-C Quarter Eagle -- Charlotte Mint
This coin carries special significance for me as I grew up in North Carolina and I have done some gold mining in the area where the gold for this coin was likely mined— the Broad River area. For me, this coin is more than just a coin, it is part of a great story for the history of Southern Gold and currency in the United States for the mid 1800s.

Love them toners that seem to be backlit.
I confess, they don't make me smile. They make me laugh.
1989 Congress Bicentennial Silver Dollar
Unfortunately I only have the Heritage images for this but I love this coin. I am thinking of crossing to PCGS primarily for the TrueView.
Not a coin, but a medal. One that I was lucky enough to find, and have inbound.

Thought someone might like a shot at one of these. You don't see them come up often.
No connection with the seller, and I'm keeping mine!
Good luck!

And for a coin in my collection that makes me smile, this Modern UHR does the trick:
The UHR as it was featured in the U.S. Mint's exhibit at the Portland Money Show just after its release.
That is a beautiful coin @RegistryCoin !
Striking Ben Franklin die by Frederick C. Key & Sons.
This also has a great provenance going back to Max Mehl!
Here are better photos better cropped photos, also from Heritage.
In tribute to the coin above.
In 100 years I believe this one will share in the prominence as the one above.
My great grandchildren will vye for it in the estate wondering how it was that great grandpappy came into owning it.

I did not think it was possible for the Carter Quarter to look any uglier...
Looks like the Bob Hope dollar!
If any coin in one’s collection doesn’t bring joy, then it is time to sell!
