I saw that one and was thinking it looked similar. See my other thread (I tagged you) where I reference your custom set.
These are my two favorites of your 2024 purchases. You always giving my good competition for new additions to our shared method of collection, Box-of-XX coins. I suspect sometimes we may even compete on GC bidding.
@geekpryde I enjoy following your collection and we probably have competed for some of the same coins at GC. I'm sure we have beat each other before so it all evens out.
Stunning additions. They're all marvelously delightful to behold. You must be exceedingly patient in your quest for acquisition....
Thank you! I will be honest and say that while I try to be patient and picky, I don't always stick to that strategy. I had my share of "duds" this year (not sure I want to do a bottom 10 list, especially since many of those were sold). Some of those "duds" were decent coins that I overpaid for (hoping they would be nicer in hand than the online photo). My goal is to decrease the number of bad buys each year. Sometimes it works and other times the coin buying itch gets the best of me.
