Thanks for your generosity.
as for a coin, at this time, a Silver American Eagle, (or gold), would work.

I think
it would be good
to own an authentic ancient
with a noble dame on it
who looks like me;
and, if it were gold,
oh, fugghedaboudit!

As far as a coin, any nice Ancient coin makes me excited.

 

My husband had a 1912s V Nickel that he paid on weekly. It was by far his favorite. He was drafted and never made it back. I've looked countless times for it to no avail. I've held it and wish I'd find it. It is by far our favorite coin. I'm never giving up.

If you don't post a quote with your coin preference you will probably be disqualified from the give away. Not like I need the competition, but, considering your hubby gave his life for our country, I figured you deserved a "heads up."

Oh good, you caught it!

(I can't figure out how to post photos. Don't have a problem with it anywhere else. Even googled instructions from previous CT post and that didn't work. My favorite coin is a 1902 barber quarter that I bought at an estate sale in a junk box of stuff that cost $25. I had it graded by PCGS. It went at PR63)

 

If that doesn't win , I'm not sure I'm ever going to hear again such words on coin talk. Bravo

 

Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice shame on me! But in this case, Fool me once and the coin gets hammered!

@H8_modern

Please, I have a question.

It seems entrants are posting photographs of coins they like which they already own. The type of coin I am liking now more than any other is similar to what I described and showed in my entry - but I don't own anything like it. Is it acceptable for your give away that my preferred or favorite coin be one that I don't actually own?

Thank you in advance for the clarification.
