geekpryde's 2025 Purchases Review, Box-of-25 Random Coins

Here are the coins I purchased in 2025

Box-of-25 Set (random coins I like):

This coin was purchased for my Type set, but then I bought a new example. Problem is, I wax-and-wane on which coin I like better, so I wont be selling this "dupe" any time soon as it may very well end up back in my Set as the representative coin for the Type 4 Seated Liberty Dimes.


I purchased a few Clad Roosevelt dimes for the Type Set, this one ended up not being selected for my main collection, but I also didn't want to sell it (yet).



I love this coin. I was never planning on "upgrading" it, but something fell into my lap soon after buying this coin, when I wasn't even looking. As much as I love the "look" of this coin, it's now probably going to stay in the side collection for the long term.



Sort of an average Clad Quarter I was thinking about for the Type set, but didn't make the cut. Two photos of the same coin from different lighting angles.



A nice "Even looking" Five Centavos for my Type set, but I wanted an MS example to match the rest of US Philippines coins in my Type set, so I upgraded it but decided to not sell the original coin.



A stunningly bright, white, lustrous coin. Likely going to end up in my Type set, but I do really like the lower graded but Toned currently occupying the spot, so this coin is relegated to the side for now, but wont be sold.



As a testament to how little I know about the US Philippines Type coins, I wrongly assumed this coin was part of that set. However, this is a "world" coin commemorative, so not strictly part of the set, although it sort of still fits in in my mind. So I hem and haw about if this should be on the outside looking in, or just moved to inside the set with an asterisk. I really love the champagne look of the reverse.



That's it for coins purchased in 2025 for my side collection.

From the coins above, I really could sell them all except for the CircCam 25C Seated coin, and the MS66 Twenty centavos.
