My first $1k+ non-gold coin, my first pre-modern proof, and a radical departure from my emphasis on gold among my higher end coins.

Good original surfaces, a late die state piece showing dramatic die cracks. Of this rare date, this is the more common variety, using an overdated 1838c die.
Noted for distinct original toned surfaces and backed by CAC, this coin was, according to a dealer, previously graded higher by NGC. It is featured in the PCGS Coinfacts photo library, and is a good example of a coin that cannot be priced by standard guides alone.

A regrade; I had hoped for a 62+. I bought this coin before knowing its real relative rarity, intrigued by the O mint mark and passing on a more common date in MS63. I got home and discovered on CoinFacts what a bargain I had.

This coin marks the re-launch of my coin collecting in 2008, and for three years was my top coin. It was recently regraded through SecurePlus, keeping its MS65 grade and proving that its subdued tone is is not a sign of tampering but proof of its original surfaces.

First coin for 2015, this just missed appearing at the FUN. CAC backed, still has traces of luster
My big purchase for the year at the ANA Money Show in Dallas, the same day I first became an ANA member. Cathey and Mom were with me to enjoy the show. CAC approved.
