Post your best purchases for 2021

In 2010 I was lucky enough to win 3 rolls of the silver .25 .50. 1.00 oz coins wow they are very pretty ,and mintages very low! I kept 1 set of 3 for my self as they sold so fast...at one time you couls go to the bank of Mexico and they had both a Spanish & English posted the total mintages.

Here is a toned Franklin in a rattler I got this year:

 

This is one of my best purchases for 2021. 1899-P, UNC+.
Just a little bit cheeky, but still nice.

 

That is a nice one!

 

I've posted this coin in a couple other threads recently but this one is by far my best ever purchase. I got it raw from a LCS that bought a large old collection this past summer. I sent it in to PCGS to be graded and it came back better than expected (PR64DCAM). Not surprisingly, following my success with this and another coin I purchased from the collection, the LCS decided not to sell me any more coins from the collection until after they come back from NGC.

 

Sure are some great post....and we still have a little ways to go in 2021 to post your best purchases and gifts of the year!
It's great that we were able to still enjoy our hobby and support our membership.
Keep them....coming....folks

 

Gawd I love that coin! I get weak in the knees for a nice seated but spectacular doesn’t even touch her!

I have always really loved this design. Nope, doesn't fit in any set as I never have owned a commemorative but I saw it, wanted it, bought it.

 

Love the show everyone thank you. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Small planchet Pine Tree shilling, ca. 1676-82. My now earliest colonial era coin.

 

There blue you know?

 

That makes a big difference. I was always told that if they were brown you were full of something. By the way, mine are blue too
