Post your favorite coin purchase of 2017

It's hard to believe, but 2017 is almost entirely in the rear view mirror. Post your favorite coin purchase of the year. Here's mine, a (PCGS) VF30 Flowing Hair $1.

This one’s probably my favorite because it closed out my large diameter capped bust quarter date set (or at least until I blow my money on an 1824).

 

Well first off @Skyman beautiful coin! My favorite purchase of 2017 happens to be from the same year but waaaayyyyy lower grade.



1795 Liberty Cap 1c. Plain edge

 

To go with my

 

I guess my favorite US purchase this year is my 1915 Pan-Pac comemmorative.

 

I have a few favorite purchases for 2017....here's two that I had to have,what's funny is both purchased the same show from the same dealer.

 

I added only very few US coins to my collection in 2017, but this is certainly my favorite:
an 1802 Draped Bust cent, variety S-238.
S-238 is the scarcest variety of the 1802 cents (besides the NC's), and this one is certainly within the top 4 best known examples. Found in Europe.

 

Wow that 1820 cent is wicket nice.

 

Very nice!

 

Love those old ANACS holders.

 

I double that comment!!

 

Happy New Year....

 

The original picture looks like the sun setting behind the trees. Me likey!

 

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

You're all making me drool all over my keyboard.

 

Bought this one for $55. Sold it for $2500! (Couldn't keep it. My business needed a shot in the arm). Pure dumb luck, though. Thought I was buying a 1882-O and it turned out to be an 1882-CC, which is worth HUGE money in GSA softpacks.
