Post a pic of your favorite coin in your entire collection

CladiatorCladiator Posts: 18,343 ✭✭✭✭✭
How about everyone put up a photograph of the one coin in their collection that is their personal favorite. So no one ends up hogging the thread lets try to keep it to just one coin and just one pic per side of that coin. If we get lots of participants this could end up being a pretty cool thread! Here is mine. image

    I collect early commemoratives but this is my favorite coin. I don't think I'll ever let it go.

    Not my most expensive coin (I bought this raw at a coin show 18 years ago) or my best toned coin, but here's the member of my type set I want to be buried with (pardon the amateurish photos)

    I have alot of favorites.

    Here is one of them.

    It's all beat up , worn, absolutely no eye appeal and worth very little yet, this coin has brought me more joy than
    any other piece in my collection of coins.

    My first Half I ever dug.

    Thanks Weiss!

    I guess this coin deserves the #2 position in my collection because it was the piece that got me turned on to early U.S. coinage. I've owned this one for more than 30 yeras.

    My 1805 dime might have been used to make some “illegitimate children” at one time. It’s got some plaster or something like that inside the a couple of the letters and the “8” in the date.

    As for stories, I’m sure than some counterfeit coins could tell some good ones too. Quite often the activities of rouges make for better reading than the actions of honest people.

    That's a nice Dollar, Stuart. I don't have an Bust dollars that quite like that.
