I bought the 2011 1911 silver dollar commemorative simply b/c I like the regal look. Since I was a kid, and before I ever saw this effigy, the word "king" always brought a very similar picture to my mind. Unfortunately I missed the entire proof set since it was sold out by the time I heard of it  These have dropped in price after the initial ebay rush, so maybe some day I will get one. I love the look of the new gold w/diamond coin, but that's out of my reach right now. |

The most expensive Canadian coin I purchased was an 1892 50 Cent graded VF and the most expensive world coin was a boring old bullion 2011 Australian Platinum Platypus.
Been fairly quiet as of late although I recently picked up about $28 face value pre-1967 silver coinage for well under melt including pretty nice 1935, 1936, and 1937 Dollars.

I've only acquired four Canadian coins this year; one of them was a 1913 gold $5. At AU$570, it was my second-most expensive purchase of the year, after an ancient Roman JVDAEA CAPTA denarius.
