I felt the only proper way for me to participate in this thread was to find a coin as crusty as I am. I almost got there.
I see several of us are the same age. I put together my own set from LCS coins as a kid but I'm too lazy to go dig them out, happen to have an old image of one.
My birth year is a difficult one and this is the second thread that I almost passed up. I have never found a coin this year that I like for my collection. Here is the poster child at PCGS for BN.
