What's your most favorite coin in your collection? It doesn't have to be the most expensive. Share yours if you care to.
In 2015 I entered a contest here on CoinTalk.. and I won! I had the coin graded by NGC. It is definitely my favorite coin!
This coin was a pocket piece first of the Grandfather and then the Father of my wife. It spent 60 years traversing the oceans as both were Norwegian merchant seamen and coin collectors. It traveled over 100,000 miles. It now resides in my pocket.
Some of the best coins are the sentimental pieces that we hold dear to our heart. Exactly like yours! I have a few French coins in my collection that my Great Uncle brought back from France after WW1.
Not the most valuable, and not the first (or 2nd or 3rd) time showing it, but this one, even though it is labeled ‘details:cleaned’. I usually don’t mention that, and it gets many praises.
I have one I think is better, but it was found by a friend and I traded for it. The coin collecting kids in town held swap meets and traded back and forth. We would meet quite often. Here is one I traded for. It is hard to believe he had found a nicer one. But we worked hard and were very competitive. But, we made honest trades and not interested in pure profit.
