Man, a lot of nice coins displayed in this thread but if the Cardinal posting can't inspire, you're not a coin collector. Thanks for sharing those -- the half disme is really something. I wonder which coin it is in the CoinFacts census from Ron Guth.
Anyway, my humbler selection I purchased at auction last year with the help of a very good dealer. I may have overpaid and likely paid more than anyone has for a 1917 Walker, but I have never regretted it:

lol... 2 ok in 70 as an 8 y/o i paid some like $5 for an "altered 44-d Lincoln" so i could have a 14-d of my own off a bid board after mowing lawns...lol it gets worse... a crazy a/t frankie for $175 for a lil raw candy colored set...should of just bought some markers myself or borrowed my daughters easy bake oven i swear
everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see
I paid what is probably a record price for a common date Saint in a blemish free black first generation NGC slab.

Of course it was for a fraction of an ounce in the form of an MS 63, 3 cent silver trime.
