Twelve Days of Christmas.... Day 11

in steemsilvergold •  5 years ago  (edited)

Afternoon everyone.....

For the next twelve days I will be putting my tags on hold and doing a twelve days of Christmas post.

The post is going to be like a Santa’s wish list for stackers......Each day I will post a bar, round or coin that I would love to get as a gift.

Here are the kinda rules I made up for this little posting sequence.

  1. I will start off with the lower dollar items building up to the one thing that would truly blow me away if I got it as a gift.

  2. The items have to be realistic. No one is going to gift you an 1895CC Morgan silver dollar. Unless you are related to Bill Gates or any other billionaire.

  3. The top item can not exceed a value of $2000.

If you like this idea feel free to join in on the fun. If not I hope you enjoy the little bit of fun I’m going to have deciding what I’d like daily.

I have not made any list of items, I’m just going to take it day by day.

So here is today’s choice.

Today is a very special coin to me. It was the very first gold coin that I ever owned. It was a gift to me from my now late grandfather. Unfortunately the one that he gave me was sold along with all the rest of my collection years ago.

While one gifted to me now would be amazing, it won’t replace the one that was given to me by my grandfather.

The coin is a Saint Gaudens gold double eagle. I love this piece and the one that I have pictured is the same year one that I originally owned.

Hopefully some day I can get another.

Eleventh Day of Christmas.......

That is considered by many as the most beautiful American coin. I think a little differently. To me it is the second one. The first is the Oregon Commemorative Half-Dollar. An unbiased opinion of a commemorative collector...

While I think it is an amazing design, for some reason I love the Indian head gold coins the best. The $2.5, the $5 and the $10 are my favorites in gold.
I love all of the commemorative half dollars but my favorite is the California Diamond Jubilee half. The Oregon one is also great, just my opinion.

I should have posted the same time as you. I completed my article last night but need a couple more hours before posting!.
I hope you will still be surprised !!! What can I say... we’re besties and we think alike!!!

That coin is high on my list of wants. One day...

A classic U.S. Gold coin, I so wish I had one....
As kids my buddy's dad was a collector, and he had a 55 gallon aquarium and under the gravel were Saint Gaudens Gold coins!!😳

WTF???? You shouldve grab them

After all the fish had died, my buddy’s sister was having a yard sale and sold the aquarium.
It didn’t have any water, just old and dirty....
Their Dad freaked out .... he had a dozen Gold coins under the gravel still!!😳
They were able to retrieve them before the aquarium was picked up!!!😅
Crazy!!!!
Their Dad is who got me collecting coins 🤗
