Post Your Favorite Numismatic Purchases Of 2015!

That's one heck of an error note coinfrog. A 1917 legal tender with an 1899 silver certificate reverse

Both nice notes and the serial number 5 legal tender

Any acquisitions made in 2015 that you are proud of, we want to see.

Next year I'll make sure to include collecting supplies to the opening post and I should also probably add numismatic literature to the list as well.

No pics but I can tell you, 1853 3cs and 1882 Seated dime.

davec13 - I thought I had deleted that lousy B/E pic. It's really a super note.

Wow, barryg, those are amazing! I wish I had your kind of money :D

Here are my favorites (so far). I just got into coin collecting this year...





I'm still going back and forth about whether I should sell them, because they were a fair amount of money (for a college student), but I really love them, and they are definitely my favorites.

Well, all you need to do is get a college degree, work for 20+ years, get married to a woman who also has a college degree and has been working for 20+ years and then have a close relative die and leave you an inheritance. Nothing to it, really...

It is what matters most.

I have made a few good and fortunate purchases in 2015. For example, an 1878 CC half Dollar (NGC EF45), a coin which I had wanted for many years, or an 1803 draped bust cent and a coronet 1823 N-2 cent in very nice condition.
However, by far the most significant is this 1798 large cent. I liked it when I saw it, but only really became aware of its significance once I had it in hand. It is (in my opinion) at the very top of the condition census for the variety. As a variety it is an R-4 and therefore scarce, but in this condition it is a major rarity. The stuff that gets a copper collectors heart racing.
