Wow, that's quite the coincidence. You have good taste in coins :smile

 

lehigh, its great to see an example of a cameo war nickel! very nice!
and that cent... well yikes!

 

Oh, I have a few goodies tucked away

My fav right now is the Bust Half I bought a month ago. My next non Lincoln will be a Bust Dollar next week hopefully, and a 1783 Washington Copper with any luck.

 

1909S VDB Lincoln
1877 IHC
1916D Barber
Fugio Cent
1856/1857/1858,sm&ll FE cents
1898o Barber I found in a roll two year ago
1949S Franklin FBL
1921 Peace Dollar
Set of all slabbed Lincoln Proofs 36-08

I find it interesting that a lot of the top ten coins people own are big $$$, I have a few "top ten coins" coins but at lot of them cost under $100.00, my #1 is a 1909 S that me and my kids found going thru a bag of wheats, That coin started a family hobby. Another Best coin was watching my 9 year old going thru change and finding the last lincoln cent to fill his common date folder.

Now I do have a 1922 No D /die 2, lots of 1916 s walkers, a few 1909 s vdb's ect but they just dot have the same ranking as a other coins that were found sitting at the kitchen table.

 

nice, but I would delete that last one--
unless you want a visit from the Secret Service!
