<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2307255, member: 46237&quot;]It&#039;s tough to pick just one, so here are my favorite copper, silver, and gold coin purchases from 2015.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite copper coin that I picked up this year was this stunning 1868KB Hungarian 4 Krajczar that a fellow Hungarian collector and friend of mine located for me while we were at the November Whitman Expo.

This one was a nice upgrade for me from my old XF45 example of the B-2 die marriage. This is one of only three die marriages to use reverse G, which was made for the 1834 proofs (including the King of Siam specimen) and later employed in business strikes. This reverse has a different looking eagle thought to have been engraved by Christian Gobrecht rather than William Kneass. This example has outstanding luster and attractive peripheral toning and is absolute top of the mark for an AU55.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464471[/ATTACH] </p><p>My favorite gold coin that I picked up this year is this Hungarian 1868GYF Dukat that I picked up from Nice Common Coins (bkozak33) in June. I love both the standing Franz Joseph I obverse and the angels reverse and it&#039;s a tough two-year type from a branch mint that stopped producing coins after 1871.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]464473[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
