However, pursuing quality remains an ongoing challenge on my budget. I have tried to develop a discerning eye for nice coins that are still obtainable on a working-class salary. Aesthetic "eye appeal" is my first goal and historical, artistic, or cultural appeal a very close second. In keeping with the "eclectic" attribute, I'm also trying to add as wide a variety as possible of time periods, cultures, and geographic regions here. <a href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k" rel="nofollow">"Eclectic Box" gallery on CollectiveCoin</a> (the current lineup)<a href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/SL50Qie7LLIUhnykKUjI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/SL50Qie7LLIUhnykKUjI" rel="nofollow">"Bygones" from the Eclectic Box</a> (gone, but not forgotten) Until mid-2016, I stuck to the "box of 20" principle, where the collection was always 20 coins (in other words, if I wanted to add one, I had to sell one).  I have since abandoned the 20-coin limit and let the collection grow, and as of November 2018 it had doubled in size to 40 pieces. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-june-16-2018.318245/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-june-16-2018.318245/">Last update: June 16, 2018</a> Number of coins as of last update: 38Number of coins as of this update: 40 Individual coin photos are not shown to scale.
