What was your single finest find of 2012 ???????????????

[tigerbeetle]

I realize folks have been listing fine finds in here throughout 2012 but what was that one score that stood above the rest. It might not even be the most valuable, just the one that meant the most.

A 1836 2 Reale before I left Maryland to move to Minnesota on Dec 10th 2012...

I suppose it would be my 1801 Large Cent 1/000, my oldest coin to date. Kudos to my At Pro. Hopin' everyone has a great 2013!

My favorite all time find was a cast iron Sambo cap gun. Here's a link:

Finally getting a JOB! Then it would have to be the gold rings.

Best find of 2012 is definitely my 1903s Key Date Barber dime in amazing condition.

 

[WHADIFIND]

For me, it would have to be the Seated Half.

Mine would be the Denarus of Claudius
Claudius (AD 41-54), Denarius, Lugdunum, AD 46-47, TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG P M TR P VI IMP XI, laureate head right, rev S P Q R / P P / OB C S in three lines in oak-wreath, 3.83g (RIC 41)

For sure the most expensive coin in my collection, and the rarest!!

Not all treasures are in the ground. I can't take a photo of this yet. It is a copper medal dated 1874-1937 from the San Francisco Mint. It even has an s mint mark also a portrail of the San Francisco Mint building. This is on the obverse. On the reverse is a spread eagle over a map of the U.S. and the Treasury Department above that. I found it in an antique shop for $8.00. What is it actually worth?

Without a doubt the John Mecke watch paper engraved plate, which is now in the hands of the National Watch & Clock Maker's Museum in PA.

since i got rolling with this in august of 2012 with no problems i must say coin wise is the 1829 half dime, and then the early 1800's flat button

 

[Silver Searcher]

Forgot about my Saxon Penny, Eadgar pre-reform, circumscription cross type. 959-972... Bit nibbled on the flan, but seen worse. I hope to top this coin in 2013, but it might be a tough ask.

A sterling silver Tiffany and company ring which cleaned up beautifully so I bought a sterling silver chain for it and it was one of my wife's Christmas presents this year.

 

[CASPER-2]

one of my personal bests of 2012
family crest "seal" ring
probably late 1800's - early 1900's

 

[JimDon]

Easily my 18kt gold and 1 carat TW diamond anniversary ring. Made banner also. Dream come true.

Mine has to be my Union Officer Sword Buckle, found in the school yard across the street from home.
