My top buy was a coin shop!!!!
As far as a coin goes it was a 1911 uncirculated Aussie penny. Nice coin, 75% lustre. The king jumps out at you. Aussie predecimal collectors would appreciate it.
BTW...Becky... I like the swiss coins. I picked up a few of these early this year. Sold most of them but still have 4 or 5 sitting in my safe for a lucky buyer. I would love to keep them but I have to draw a line in the sand.

Tough acts to follow; I can't compete with Eliasberg and the other very unusual coins. My best buy for 2005 was a raw 1892-CC Morgan which PCGS graded at MS-63, in line with its tougher standards on Morgans. Two years ago, it would have easily made MS-64, but I'm not gonna play the crack-out game and resubmit it.

My top buy was pretty much my whole collection. Peace dollar Set (AU-MS) Ike Set w/ Proofs. Silver Eagle Set Franklin half Set Kenndy Half Set Washington quarter Set Merc Dime Set (still needing a 16-d... anyone got one for sale in the ag/g range?) Key Lincoln Dates (S, S VDB, 14d) It may not be much to some of you, but for just starting out, I think I did pretty good in about a two-month span. |

Hey JD, there's a local gentleman in town here that has a BEAUTY of a 16D!!! (Not sure what he's asking...but he's a real good ol' country boy that runs a pharmacy and dabbles on the side.) Next time my wife and I go in, I'll ask for you. He also has a 1877 Indian Head cent (HIGH AU!!!), and several other REAL BEAUTIFUL rarities!!! Read this post and you'll see what I mean! https://goccf.com/t/3256Go about half-way down the page and you'll see the posting. |

My top buy has nothing to do with expense...just pleasure of discovering Australian coinage. I started, and brought up to date my silver Lunar Coin set. Beautiful coins. Also, a great pleasurable experience for 2005 was completing my Franklin half dollar collection. |

My favorite for 2005 was a 1963 proof Franklin half. I bought it for $10 and sent it to ANACS where it graded PF-68 Cameo. Charlie |

I'd have to say my top buy was my cherrypick of the 1874 Seated dime I bought in December, the one I mentioned here last month which has only one arrow in the date prominent. I've been discussing the coin with series specialist Gerry Fortin and he seems to think I have a "discovery coin" for a new variety, one which uses the same obverse as the F-106 variety which has only three pieces known but with a different reverse than F-106.  |

That is a sweet cherrypick! I am green with envy[:p]
Did you say that you won that in a Heritage auction?
