OK,

 

Why not?

 

Here's mine.
It's AU-50

 

Here are a few of my favorites. I have too many to post them all, lol.

 

This one is my favorite because I won it in a CoinTalk competition a few years ago!
Sent it to NGC to get graded... MS69
​

 

It's lovely, but I think they were a tad generous with the grade...........

 

Here's the coin in my avatar.

 

Beautiful coin

 

I need a better picture of this lady:

 

All beautiful coins! I personally like the pre-33 gold better because of the historic value.

 

Mike at ToughCoins found me that one at the Baltimore show.

 

Those $10 Indian gold eagles have grown on me. Here's mine.

 

Probably a combination of two factors:
-- it's a key coin and they are often given a little extra nudge in grading
-- I took those images years ago; my technique and equipment have improved considerably since then.

 

Nary a thing wrong with your images........

 

A new favorite, at least for a while:


United States dollar 1849

My first gold dollar, Philadelphia mint, open wreath variety.
