Post your favorite coin purchased in 2008.

[SkyMan]

Here's a simple one, post your favorite coin that you purchased in 2008, you can even post an extra 1 or 2 other coins if you can't quite make up your mind (but NO more than 3 in total).

 

Here's unquestionably my favorite coin purchance of 2008. To the best of my knowledge (of course I could be wrong) it was the only gold coin flown during the Mercury, Gemini or Apollo flights. The FIRST US spacewalk occured on Gemini 4.

 

 

 

Here's why the coin is so special:

 

Within the series, toned Franklins, that I specialize in, this coin was unquestionably my favorite purchase of 2008. There were no mint sets made during 1950, so finding a decently toned 1950 P or D is a very tough endeavour.

 

 

MAY YOUR 2009 BE FILLED WITH HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE AND PROSPERITY!!!

Happy New Year everyone

[EZ_E]

Among my top 3 favorites, anyway.

[BillJones]

It was not the expensive piece I bought in 2008, but it is my favorite. I never dreamed I'd own a 1795 gold eagle!

 

[pendragon1998]

I'll stick to US coins and say it's probably a tie between these two:

 

1943-P PCGS MS65FS Jefferson Nickel

 

1943-P PCGS MS65FB (rattler holder) Mercury Dime

 

I've also picked up a handful of world coins I'm rather fond of too.

[Jeffrey Cardona]

Picked up this baby raw for $8 off of Ebay...and came back from NGC PF70!

(thumbs u

[EZ_E]

That is my favorite modern half dollar commemorative. Nice p/u!

 

I bought a $5 Constitution on the marketplace that came back MS70.

A couple of Proofs

Well I didn't get to buy a whole lot this year except a few Jeffs for my dansco and trying to keep my Prez dollars alive. So I would have to say that the Silver story was probably my favorite purchase this year.

[jtryka]

Since this was the only addition to my Saint set this year, I suppose it's my favorite by default!

[awb]

Nice looking set, Boby What are the three cois below the silver crtificate?

[TomB]

Uber-cool stuff, SkyMan. (thumbs u Off the top of my head I think I was able to pick up eight really nice coins this year. I don't have images of all of them, which makes the decision of what coin to post a bit easier-

[bsshog40]

Nice looking set, Boby What are the three cois below the silver crtificate?

 

Thanks adam. There is a 21' Morgan, 25' Peace, and a little capsule of silver granules.

[ldhair]

This one is my favorite.

[awb]

Whoa, I need to change the batteries in my keyboard. I do know "Bobby" has three Bs. Ignore the other missed key strokes!

[SkyMan]

Some really LOVELY material everyone!!!

[dean1345]

It is a toss up to me so I will list both

 

 

1810 Classic Head Half Cent NGC AU53

 

 

1886 Type 2 Proof Indian Head Cent NGC PF65BN*

[EZ_E]

WoW, Tom! If you were the only criteria then I'd say that there are many wonderful coins available in the market but we all know that that's just not true!

[bsshog40]

Whoa, I need to change the batteries in my keyboard. I do know "Bobby" has three Bs. Ignore the other missed key strokes!

 

Better 2 "B's" than 2 "O's"

[EZ_E]

That was a good one, Booby! haha......

Leave it to you Vic!!

Personally I like O2.

[EZ_E]

Personally I like O2.

 

Really! And the double "B" can be harsh in reference to a TPGS.

[Dwaine]

 

 

[bsshog40]

Nice one's there dwaine!! That's a purty 70's set!

[Dwaine]

Thanks Bobby. It is really nice and Bob Campbell did a great job with the pictures.

 

I am debating about sending the set off to NGC to put into a Multi - holder as I think it would make a great muli-holder set. Now if I could just find a small date that looks similar to the large date it would be perfect.

[physics-fan3.14]

I got a lot of really great coins this year, so its going to be hard to narrow it down. I guess these probably win. 1829/1827 Bustie PCGS XF-40, and 1958D NGC MS-65FBL toner from Shane.

 

 

[astrostu]

Hmm. I'd have to say some modern junk would be this year's favorites. Can I post two? I'll be re-doing the photos of the first one, probably, now that I've figured out how to make the fields black. The first one I like 'cause of the design - I really like both obv. and rev. on this. The second is because it's my first purchase of a non-US coin and marks the start of my Panda collection that I hope to fill out (and Britannias) in 2009.

WoW! Those are really exceptional pictures! I love that photoshop, too. What program is it?

 

Jason, that CBH has the perfect circulated look to it!
