    Mine is one of my better date Morgans that I got a few years ago, after selling my complete Morgan set. It is the very cameo looking reverse of an 1883cc MS 65 PL that I own. Originally, I had a toned 1896 Morgan, but changed the avitar after Shane sold all of my toned Morgans, Peace Dollars, and Toned Kennedys on consignment.

    Mine is a championship ring from one of my favorite sports teams, the Chicago Blackhawks. Before this year, they were the only major sport team from Chicago to win anything (the only other titles in the 21St century were the 2005 White Sox and now the 2016 Cubs).

    Mine is a 1920 King Double Bell Euphonium. It was the instrument that got me into collecting musical instruments. I have since sold it for another one that play MUCH better.

    Nor did I.

    I love Krugerrands, and the sprinbok. My avatar is the springbok on the back of a 1966 1 Rand.

    I think it's very cool. I hope to get my hands on the silver one. Hell, I'd LOVE to get my hands on the 50oz gold....but then I'd wake up. haha

    Looking, and watching and learning. I got two eyes and two ears and only one mouth. There is a reason for that.

    Mine is an 1859-O Half Dollar that I purchased off of a gentleman who upgraded his. It is darker in hand but a real beauty under a good amount of light. A very happy addition to my US Type Set and one of my better purchases.

    That's not me, but a stand-in for the scene I had shot for my website.

    It's supposed to remind collectors of the hobby we enjoy, and the solitude we often find with coins in our private corner of the home.

    I was born in 1958 and Franklins were the largest coins minted during that year. Also, 1958 P & D Franklins can tone up Awesomely!!!

    Every time I look at that, I think of Henry Chapman at his desk. I pass what was once his office in Center City frequently; it's now a residential building. What I wouldn't give to rent that place....

    Mine if my proof half penny. I've wanted one for years and finally picked one up. Side note-does anyone else have a voice they play in their head when they read certain peoples comments? Or is that just me?

    Wooden ships to me are symbolic of adventure just as coin collecting is an adventure. Of couse the interpretation of adventure standards may differ between coin collectors just as they did between wooden ship sailors who were conscripted, shanghaied or proud owners of Jackson Pollock style paintings etched into their backs with a cat o' nine tails.
