The collection as presently seen online is far from complete; I'm still awaiting news on most of my newer purchases which are away at NGC, and then there's the stuff that hasn't even been submitted yet- or photographed, whatever. But here's the core of my onetime "Eclectic Box" collection, which has now been divided into three categories. https://www.colleconline.com/en/collections/4508/lordmarcovan Ancient & Medieval Coins World Coins (1601-present) US Coins & Tokens
Fantastic presentation of coins. Your added commentary makes a great personal touch and is my favorite part of the presentation.
Rob, outstanding presentation. Of all your wonderful US Coins (I didn't have the time to peruse the other two categories, yet) I fell in love with your grandfathers Champion Token. Your other coins are beautiful, but the story behind Dr. Robertson's token was captivating. All your other coins/commems/tokens have nice value. However, your grandfathers piece is priceless IMO. Well done my friend. Well done.
Thanks. You’re the first to comment on Granddaddy’s medal. Sadly, the Champion (now Evergreen) paper mill (Champion was the company that issued the medal) is now ceasing operations after more than a century, to the detriment of the whole town and surrounding area.
That's tough to hear, yet no surprise. Just look at the consolidation of virtually all companies in all categories. Before we know it there'll only be a few companies in each group.
