<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8405561, member: 100459"]I've got a 1904 American Liberty Double Eagle. It was my first gold purchase or have owned. I was a late bloomer. I thought "IT" was the prettiest coin I had seen. I knew very little about coin collecting and grading coins. I found out that mine had scratches on its face. Maybe it did affect me somewhat, but it was the only gold that I had every owned and I was not going to let anyone have it.</p><p>We each have our favorites. Many years ago, I found a puppy under the hood of my car. I tried to find out who the owner was, but to no avail. Everyone told me that the puppy was the ugliest one they had ever seen and that I should take him to the pound. I was dead set against that, so I finally decided to keep him, even though others thought he was ugly. That puppy slept with me for 12 years and I knew there would be a time that I wouldn't have him anymore. That day finally came. He is still with me buried in the back yard. I put a brick where he lays with his name on it... Chewy. I didn't think I could ever get another puppy. It took me three years, but my vet called me. He said he had something he wanted to show me. When I went to him, he told me to hold out my hands. When I did, he placed a puppy in my right hand and then he told me to hold out my left hand, and there was the ugliest puppy I had ever seen. They were chi-weenies... a boy and a girl. My vet told me that someone had left them in a box at the door of his office. After I paid him, I took them home and put them in a playpen that Chewy had slept in when I was at work. One is a boy, named Beau (Beaucephus) and the other is Belle (Belladonna). I now have 2 bed partners.</p><p>We all have our favorites, whether it's a dog, a cat, or a gold coin. There will come a time that you will make a change.</p><p>Best of luck to you all, and thank you for sharing you love of collecting coins.
