It's all right, GR58. This thread is a place to show off your collection, and you have some great coins in yours! Like I told everyone else, post as many and as often as you want!

jlgaudlitz95, the antimony coin was produced in Kweichow Province in 1931 / 1933. More information can be found here:

I have a vague memory that I paid more than a fair bit two - three years ago. This particlar coin is not affordable any longer. The lowest I've seen last year was in thousand of dollars which is understandable. Probably pops up in the market less than once a year.

Very hard to narrow down to just one, but if I had to do it I think I'd go with this little jewel. Minted the year the American Civil War started. Of all my coins this is easily the prettiest in hand.

I love the toning on that Half Dime, but probably looks better in hand. That's a nice one

Tbone. Did PCGS grade this coin? I think I saw it on Facebook as their coin of the day a couple weeks ago.

I must agree with GR58, with so many coins there really is no absolute favorite of them all. You may have a favorite design, a favorite denomination or a favorite momenta coin in addition to a favorite of each series. many times your last acquisition is your most favorite until your next purchase. Then of course there is your favorite photo as you may not be able to capture the true appearance of some of your favorite coins.

I had a thread once of your top twelve coins that showed some really great examples but that was years ago, maybe it is time to resurrect another such thread.

@ jakedacc

It is PCGS graded. It's the one they use for their example on Coinfacts. Interesting to hear it was used on Facebook, I'll have to look for it.

Another one of my favorites. A 1799/8 Draped Bust Dollar,15 star reverse. Aside from the light scratch on the reverse that you have to hold on a certain angle to see,it looks fine.

This was a hard choice for me but I ended up going with the Two Cent Piece that took the longest for me to find and obtain. This one was the last piece acquired in my proof and circulation strike sets after about 6 years.

my first coin I ever bought. Thought holding on to a key date for 15 or 20 years might be an ok investment. It has been about 3 years now and for the meantime I am not so sure the plan will work out. Oh well its still a nice to coin to look at. Post-Your-Favorite-Coin-In-Your-Collection! Post-Your-Favorite-Coin-In-Your-Collection! Post-Your-Favorite-Coin-In-Your-Collection!
