Guilty pleasure coin?

[Fishface220]

Anyone else have a guilty pleasure coin / bar in their stack?

Something that goes against the plan to just stack bullion was the 2 x back to the future coins. Paid about the going rate at the time but was never part of the bigger picture. 

Could have been a lot worse I know but still shake my head when I see them. (And yep, I’ll be buying the 3rd one as well)

These are mine, I am obsessed with keeping everything neatly in tubes, all categorised and in order.  These are then loose but I cant possibly part with them

My collection/stack of coins is almost exclusively composed of UK Royal Mint items.  The only 3 exceptions to this stack include my guilty pleasure coin, which is a Niue Turtle 1 oz silver bullion coin.  I just love the design, so bought one in 2018.

This is the only coin set I have ever collected, just to dip my toe in. Collecting not for me but I do really like them.

Yes I realize this thread is likely going to be everyone posting numismatics, but have you seen the premiums on these?  My guilty pleasure:

Not a bad looking set to go rogue on.

Love all things Titanic as unfortunate as it was, so this is my guilty pleasure.

My pleasure. Not coin, only guilty.😁

I've taken a shine to Cartwheel twopences, not silver, not cheap but wow. Just wow.

Not coin, but pure silver and very comfy 😊

They don't look comfy!

I agree.
Cartwheel twopence shown top left in the photo below, alongside some of my other favourite older coins. 

It's a beast of a lump, just imagine having some of those in your pockets 200 or so years ago!

Hmm some dreamy coins there!

Don't you just love the George IV half crown reverses? I can't work out if I like the first reverse (1820-21) or the third reverse (1824-1829) the best.

Edward VII florins never get boring either.

[Stuntman]

I agree with you entirely!

My favourite is the 1820-21 reverse (there is an exceptionally rare 1823 version too, as you probably know).  My own 1821 example above (the 'heavier garnishing' variety) is one of my very favourite coins altogether.
