Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2897779, member: 10461"]<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/eclecticboxbanner-06-2017-png.6645/full?d=1498389661" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> November 4, 2017: One coin has come in since last time (a <a href="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/XK8cB2rmTu2FAibex8wQ_Persian_gold.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/XK8cB2rmTu2FAibex8wQ_Persian_gold.jpg" rel="nofollow">Persian gold toman</a>), and none went out, which means the Eclectic Box now stands at a total of 26 pieces.  This means I have for the moment exceeded the capacity of my 25-slot slab box, but since one coin (the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fcollectivecoin.imgix.net%2FNjp4ZWzeSa29wCCgUAM7_Seljuq-dirham.jpg&hash=72ae8c079e717d861af0f3733e7b4760" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fcollectivecoin.imgix.net%2FNjp4ZWzeSa29wCCgUAM7_Seljuq-dirham.jpg&hash=72ae8c079e717d861af0f3733e7b4760">Seljuq dirham</a>) remains raw for the moment and another (the Persian toman) is headed off to PCGS for grading, I've got a little while to decide whether I'm going to sell one and stick with a limit of 25 pieces for a while, or move up to a 30-slot box. The other change since last time is that four of the ancients have finally returned from grading and encapsulation at NGC, and I think the results were pretty good.  In the October 8th update I posted the new photos of them that I had a professional do. I still have not caught up on all the writeups (subthreads) for many of the individual coins I've purchased in the last year, so the ones that do have writeups are hyperlinked below and the ones without writeups are not. Just for fun, I also sent three of the proof/specimen coins off to have animated GIFs made of them, to capture their luster and/or mirrored surfaces.  [USER=77413]@RonSanderson[/USER] was kind enough to do these animations for me, for a pittance.  I've posted the animations <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-november-4-2017.305377/#post-2897783" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-november-4-2017.305377/#post-2897783">below</a>. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-october-8-2017.304093/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-october-8-2017.304093/">Last update: October 8, 2017</a><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/index-of-lord-marcovans-story-threads-coin-collection-archives.298120/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/index-of-lord-marcovans-story-threads-coin-collection-archives.298120/">Archives of earlier updates</a> (in my sig line index)<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 Eclectic Box (fantasy version, from the imagination of [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER]):<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/eclectictreasurebox-800x600-png.6914/full?d=1501260080" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> The Eclectic Box (reality version, from the cellphone camera of yours truly):<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/eclecticactualbox-png.7172/full?d=1507487075" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> As always, thanks for looking at my small, ever-evolving collection. ~Robertson W.
