    The Longsword bracteate and that German token with the cat I love! Though the Zürich city scene is pretty sweet too.

    I discovered that cat token type when somebody posted one here. Decided I had to find one of my own! So I did, and I think it graded out pretty well at PCGS.

    As to the bracteate, I was tempted to upgrade to the absolutely stunning one that Atlas presently has for sale, but decided I’m happy with mine, which is nearly as nice, and cost me about a third as much as theirs.

    The Zurich cityview probably gets more comments than any of my other coins. I bought that from Atlas several years ago.

    They're both very close but the new one, with the patina, looks a bit better IMO.

    I know I took a little time off of CoinTalk for awhile, but Rob, this is quite an upgrade from the box o’ 20 I remember! I definitely appreciate the variety of coins, countries, themes, etc, of your collection! Mine is similarly eclectic, and I’ve definitely purchased examples of coins after seeing them for the first time in your “box.”

    Well, for starters, it hasn't been a "Box of 20" for about six years now! Got a bit bloated. ;)
