Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and Im thankful for many things. Family and of course, all of you on these forums. The hobby would not nearly be as fun if we could not share our interests here in this little social club on the internet.
Please post a coin, token, or medal that just makes you happy to be its owner.
Ive posted this one several times, but here it goes again:
It's a very early work by Victor David Brenner, an unissued award for football. The scene of all the players piling on top of each other is just so well executed! It is a real joy to examine under a glass and wonder what it was like for the artist to come up with such tiny details.
Happy Thanksgiving, all. Enjoy the football and turkey and be safe.

This was the one coin that I really wished I had chased more in the Northern Lights auctions and I’m thrilled to finally own it!
@DCW I’ve always admired that one. Such fantastic detail and representation of the US.
@duck620 can you show me the other side of the first Ohio you posted. Since I’m from Ohio and grew up there I’m always interested in all things Ohio

Amazing clash, special............
My only trade dollar...........
I am thankful this holiday that my health has leveled off. It stopped going downhill in a hurry and maybe I’ll get a break
and stick around several more years on this great forum. I’ve met so many great wonderful people here and made some very dear friends. For this, no words can say how thankful I am.
.
I’ve managed to sell our home and retire in our new state of residence and put the rest in investments that should work out well. Sold quite a bit of coins, medals and tokens in which many forum member here will be the happy new owners for a long time ( I hope). And I thank each and everyone for the well wishes and those who participated in the auctions.
.
It will be a rather quite thanksgiving for us here but, will be a restful day after the last most hectic year of my life.
.
I’m also very thankful that I still have quite a few great coins, tokens and medals that I love.
Happy thanksgiving to each and every one of you!

A French award, but given to an American, so I'm posting it anyway.
A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and our hosts! It’s an honor to share this hobby with such great folks!

I never thought that I could ever own a coin like this, and I mean never!
Mr_Spud
I am grateful to own this one, and several like it. Many years ago, first starting out as a collector, coins like these seemed unobtainable. Coming back several years ago after a long hiatus, the passion was reignited and I have really enjoyed being back here (especially for the friends made) and getting to find and own some special (to me) coins.
This one almost didn't come home with me. Had it not been for a last second adjustment to the number I had on my bid page as I was entering bids, I would have missed her by less than the cost of my desert that night.

Great idea for the thread! Thank you! I'm thankful for all the coins in my "collection", but i found this little gal a week or so ago, and wow! Just wow!
As is, readable, in circulation 1918S! I'm new to the hobby, so I'm easily excitable.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Twenty years ago, a purchase on ebay was often a disappointment. A lot of shipping back and forth. This Lincoln was a pleasant surprise. The purchase price was under $100. The photos did not reveal the level of detail in the strike. Having assembled and sold a registry set of Lincolns with varieties, I am thankful to still have this one to enjoy. It has since been reholdered and stickered gold by CAC. Thanks for the thread Dennis! Hope you and the family have a great day!

Love the autumn colors on these!
It’s a common date and only graded PCGS 65. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to have this piece in my primary buffalo nickel collection. It is without question a standout due to its natural beauty.
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃
My first seated quarter purchase that started my journey back into collecting. Love the originality of this one.
Thankful for Andrew at the CU, who phones me when rolls come in. Four rolls of 2000P Sacs came my way as well.
Spatchcocked with aioli herb rub.
Like @BryceM , I’ll post my Pilgrim Commem, but showing the other date.
I’m thankful for the continued education and knowledge I receive from all forum members about our wonderful hobby, and for seeing photos of coins from other collectors that are not in my collection. It’s those photos that have inspired me to create sets that I never thought I would put together!
Happy Thanksgiving!
