Nice Fugio!
Great Idea for a thread! Can we post more that one? I've got a three way tie for first place.

That's a lovely Fugio! I've acquired some lovely coins this year, but this Paramount red holder 1884 Morgan is a favorite, even though it's not the highest graded or most valuable.

I am old and dumb. Time has passed me by, it seems. I'd love to post pictures but I have no idea how to take the quality pictures I see in this forum. Will any digital camera work? If so I can probably get my techno-genius son to help me turn them into a post. That said my very favorite purchase was a stunning PCGS MS-66fh 1917 type one SLQ. It was a good year, as shown by runners up: PCGS MS-63 1877-s Trade dollar PCGS MS-63 1837 SL dime PCGS MS-64 1849 SL dime PCGS MS-64 1858 SL quarter Hope to learn how to share pics. Happy hunting and good wishes to all for 2019. |

It is difficult to choose one, but if I have to choose one then it has to be this Ike I bought from Darth Morgan...  1978-D Eisenhower dollar |

Of course, that is my favourite Ike acquisition of 2018. My favourite non-Ike acquisition of 2018 is this beauty...  1914-D Lincoln Cent |

Ok thanks for the exception! It took a lot of patience to find these three. One of the holy grails of Seated dollar collectors. The ultra scarce 1862 business strike. With a low mintage of only 11,540, it is estimated that only 350 survived. The TPG numbers are inflated due to many misidentified proofs residing in business strike holders. I found this original example at an auction during the summer.   The 1840 is the first year the mint produced business strikes for Seated dollars. Not so scarce but a gorgeous and lustrous example I was very lucky to find with CAC approval in April.   And this 1848 Seated dollar. The most scarce Seated dollar of the 1840's. It has a low mintage of only 15,000. I found this very pretty example in au-58 with CAC approval at a Legend Coin auction this summer.    |

This is my favorite. Very tough town in southern Oklahoma.   |

Nice one, Sky - that is a tough bank for sure (half dozen or so total notes known of all kinds). My favorite would be:   |

Hmm... The 3.8 Kilos of 90% I got at face value from a bank sounds about right for me.

Thanks Jbuck!
Nice one Frog! I think that's the first picture of one of your acquisitions that I have ever seen. Did you buy a rig from our friend in the photography section?

Sorry for the sidebar on what will be without a doubt an epic thread! I wish I had some US coins to share. I had some great buys in 2018... but all World Coins :) Edited by cableguy815

I have too many to list but if I had to pick just one this would be it. It's my only proof like morgan and I can't stop staring at it... While my pictures don't show it the mirrors are amazing.   |
