I have the same problem as Nickel Guy. I'm obsessed with nickels, mainly War Nickels. My nickel collection is nearing 12,000 coins, 5500 of these are War Nickels. |

My 1936 DDO-002 that I found in a bunch of wheat pennies  . It does have some corrosion on the back though  Sometimes I just take it out to look at it because it's my first DDO |

Very nice, coin_obsessed! I suppose that makes your username appropriate.  |

That is one gorgeous dime, Tbone!  With me I suppose it has to be my 1847 Gothic crown. I had been looking for one in my price range for ages and when one came up in an auction with a reputable dealer in the north of England I put in a maximum bid of £600 on it. I was so pleased when I phoned the dealer and he informed me that I'd got the coin!   Another coin I really like (and often get out and admire) is the 2010 Britannia, and I've always been a fan of the 'Hercule' type French 5F and 10F coins, and Morgan dollars. I guess I like big silver! Edited by NumisRob

I don't understand it, but I have a 1880 S Morgan dollar graded MS 63 by ANACS that I enjoy pulling out at least 3 times a week. I submitted it myself and it has a DMPL Reverse that is not mentioned on the slab. Edited by coin197

I think you should set up a display in front of your house and charge people to take a peek! |

I've always been obsessed with the 1922 Plain Lincoln. I love the story and mystery surrounding its production, but never thought I'd be lucky enough to actually own one. A few years ago I got a not-bad sample of it off of eBay--I think I paid around $100 for it. I always get a kick out of looking at it and consider myself fortunate to have it. I also bought an okay 1795 large cent off ebay. $40-such a deal! The date is readable as well as the letters on the rim. It boggles my mind that I have a coin that's so old and was made when George Washington was president. I can stare at it endlessly. Edited by jpsned

I am an error collector... so almost every one in my collection has a uniqueness to it... the one I love the most is probably this one. I found these two coins three years apart, both at a coin show in Montreal. One is a triple-clipped Canadian 1982 Constitution nickel dollar. The second coin in the slab is a triple clipped blank nickel dollar planchet, with matching clips!! These are large coins, so there were only 4 blanks punched from the rolling strip at a time, so that meant out of a mintage of 10 million, there could only be 4 (or possibly 8) triple clipped nickel dollars out there with this clip pattern, and I can't even imagine the odds of one not being struck. For me to find these two pieces separately is something I cannot begin to describe.

I collect many things, so I needed to put a couple more in here. I have been in love with this little piece of exonumia since the day I bought it, and I still love it. A small private mint in British Columbia, Canada (Lasqueti Island), struck this half ounce silver coin.  Lastly, my favourite NCLT coin. This is the Kaskawulsh Glacier, in the Yukon. I am a glacial processes geologist, and I have personally visited the site. In fact, I tried to go to the same place as the photo was depicted on the Canada 1992 Yukon 25-cent coin. The silver proof strike of this coin is one I love, and I give it to scientists who come overseas to visit or work with me.
