Shilling NGC  Details, Charles I, my 1921 SLQ that I bought for a details price, hoping it would grade straight [sad trombone], my 1875 P 20 cent piece ANACS details, my 1877 micro S trade dollar NGC details - I confess now that I look I have a $5 Indian gold and a 1870 Seated Liberty Dollar that are straight graded that I also really really like, plus most of my top SLQs.  Out of curiosity - do you buy and sell or hold as investments?  I think that would change my calculation.  My coins aren't any sort of investment or all that valuable, really, so they are just for fun, I also have some Captain Midnight badges from the 40s I just bought.  I think they are neat![/QUOTE]
