    I have some shiny coins, but my favorites seem to be circulated. As of today, I'll go with this one... 20210420_165956.jpg 20210420_170024.jpg

    Couldn't pick a favorite one, but here is a top pick that you don't see every day.
    300 years old.
    1707 200 Reis and it looks to be stamped over an older Spanish coin?

    My favorite coin. This is probably the the first coin I kept - the start of my numismatic career as a kid in New Orleans.

    I think one of them has to be this vintage roll find of mine from last year...the elusive "1 in Neck".
    I'm still so excited about it...pretty sure I'm sending it to get graded this year!
    Only about a dozen graded, ever, both PCGS and NGC!

    Clearly, everyone has a much better collection than I do - LOL! However, if I had to choose just one, I suppose it would be this one...

    Yes, there are prettier ladies at the ball, but this is the the coin that started my first independent set. I have many in similar grade for the entire set, and yes, several could be upgraded, but this one still brings a small grin when I remember the thought, "You know, I think I want a set of these."

    This is definitely my favorite world coin. I was just discovering classic Hungarian coinage and I found this design while looking through a catalog and quickly found this example raw on eBay. This was the first world coin I submitted for slabbing as I was primarily a US collector at the time.

    This coin would end up starting my classic Hungarian type set (1848-1945), my Hungarian Millennium Expo set (1896) which also includes medals and non-numismatic material, and my Hungarian korona date set (1892-1916), the tail end of which won NGC's best presented set in 2020.
