<p>[QUOTE="Joshycfl, post: 1713684, member: 16811"]I thought it would be nice to see what <b><u>you</u></b> thought was that one coin you can't let go. Maybe this one coin has an amazing story to it, or that this coin exemplifies some of the key characteristics in what you look for in collecting. Maybe it's that one coin that has a special sentimental value to it that is worth more than anyone can pay you for. All I ask is that you post just one coin, and give a brief description as to why you chose it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For me, it was a simple choice. I chose my 1938-D Jefferson nickel. This coin was one of those "risky" ebay purchases, the pictures were poor, and I paid around $4 for it. I was shocked to see what actually came in the mail. I've had this coin for about a year now, and for some reason its always the coin i turn to first when looking at my collection. Not many of my coins have any sentimental value to it, heck i hardly hold on to coins very long at all. But this coin will stay with me for a while. It has that "hard to describe" feeling to it. This coin shows virtually flawless surfaces, well struck, and in my opinion has amazing eye appeal. This coin is by no means my most expensive coin in my collection, but if I had to sell all but one coin I would be inclined to keep this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1306.photobucket.com/user/joshkestner/media/Jefferson/DSC04797_zps21df6fe9.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1306.photobucket.com/user/joshkestner/media/Jefferson/DSC04797_zps21df6fe9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s569/joshkestner/Jefferson/DSC04797_zps21df6fe9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://s1306.photobucket.com/user/joshkestner/media/Jefferson/DSC04798_zpseaaab060.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1306.photobucket.com/user/joshkestner/media/Jefferson/DSC04798_zpseaaab060.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s569/joshkestner/Jefferson/DSC04798_zpseaaab060.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So take a minute or two, and think real hard about that <b><u>one</u></b> coin that you can't let go.
