awesome collection. my favorite would be German States (Teutonic Order): silver 1/4-thaler of Grand Master Maximilian of Austria, ca. 1615
it is very interesting looking to me. I like world coins.

 

very impressive collection, you go for quality and have a really wide range of collecting...keep up the good work!

 

Hat's off, @lordmarcovan ! All I can say is—WOW! I mean that in all sincerity! I reserve my WOW's for only the most awesome and inspiring events that I witness—such as a total solar eclipse or a spectacular fireworks display.

 

Bubba say, "Where da cord ta plug inta da eclectic?"

 

Very nice, Rob. A great eye for beauty.

 

Outstanding collection.
I never could understand how a person could limit themselves to just 20 coins.

 

I couldn't see it on the way up, but once having had a bigger collection, I can see hitting it on the way down.

 

Outstanding! One thing I particularly like about your collection is that it demonstrates almost the entire gamut of collecting and the endless ways of putting together a collection — all in one spot!

 

Your collection is growing very nicely. There are several
nice pieces that just "tug" at your heart. The 1/8 Thaler
klippe is my favorite. The off-center George IV shilling
is another favorite considering your personal history with
the piece. Hopefully you will add a few more Medieval
pieces since that period in time is my favorite. In this day
when there are millions of coins for purchase, you have
shown the rest of us what patience, knowledge and most
importantly, a "discerning eye" can accomplish. BRAVO!!

 

Never disappointed in your selections, in fact I use them as a benchmark to compare to other specimens. As I have stated before, glad to see you're expanding the box & already 15 over the original limit....don't get carried away. Sorry about the gold pieces, but you know there will always be more chances. Excellent work (love the '13 Buffalo, btw)!
