<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1563813, member: 36248&quot;]I recently read an article on CoinWeek that reinforced an idea I&#039;ve been playing around with in my head, which is that instead of collecting full series of coins by date as I have been doing, that I am thinking it will be more fun to collect by Type.&nbsp; This article introduced me to the concept of a &quot;box of twenty&quot;, which is a variation on Type collecting.&nbsp;&nbsp; From the article:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(great article by the way, you should go read it:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.coinweek.com/featured-news/coin-rarities-related-topics-choosing-grades-for-beginning-intermediate-collectors/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/featured-news/coin-rarities-related-topics-choosing-grades-for-beginning-intermediate-collectors/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinweek.com/featured-news/coin-rarities-related-topics-choosing-grades-for-beginning-intermediate-collectors/</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I really like the idea of limiting my collection to twenty really nice coins, from a variety of denominations, time periods, and maybe even countries.&nbsp; &nbsp; While I had fun *almost* finishing off my Proof Kennedy&#039;s in PF69UC, boy 80+ Kennedy proofs seem to start to all blend togeather.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Plus, in my experience it&#039;s NOT very fun/informative to show 80+ very similar looking coins to a non-coin person.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I have totally come around to this concept of a &quot;Box of twenty&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; My box isn&#039;t made up of crazy expensive rare coins (yet), but so far I&#039;ve filled 10 slots with a nice variety of interesting coins.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I am going to slow down coin buying to only a few a year, and get prettier more interesting high quality coins instead of just <i>&quot;filling holes&quot;</i>.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; When my box is filled, I&#039;m going to start swaping out lesser coins for better examples.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Maybe in 10 years, my 20 special coins will really be a nice little show-and-tell I can dazzle my guests with.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Right now it&#039;s rather humble, but without further ado:</p><p><br /></p><p>S$1 1923 NGC MS 65 CAC</p><p>[ATTACH]212501.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]212502.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>S$1 2012(W) EAGLE EARLY RELEASES NGC MS 70</p><p>[ATTACH]212505.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]212506.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
