Very impressive ancients IMO. I'm not an ancients collector, actually I have none, but those strike me as beautiful. Kudos Robertson!

 

Great collection still.

 

So glad to see the "city view" coin still. Still my favorite.

This coin is now my 2nd favorite...

 

After that dump, Lord Marcovan was all . . . .

 

And mine as well . . . .

So many super nice coins. I was pleasantly surprised to see the 1927 Parliament commemorative. One of my favorite coins. Thanks for sharing with us.
As always a truly learning experience.

 

Quality over quantity, all with excellent eye appeal. I very much enjoyed your show. I admire the restraint that you show in your eclectic box.

 

Amazing presentation, you have set a painfully high standard. I really appreciate the thought process of a limited number, I believe it will be difficult to decide what to keep, yet the discipline of that makes for a thoughtful and thought-filled collection. I think I will attempt a similar (albeit smaller) collection. Thank you for sharing.

 

Wow! I didn't think that I'd get to the end, but what a wonderful collection.

 

WOWZERS! That's some collection Rob!

 

While all of them are making me drool, I was struck by the 1794 GB ½ cent. What a beauty. Thank you for sharing. Loved them all.

 

And, when you do this, please let me know. Some of yours aren't in my focus, but I still appreciate looking at them. But, some are "right down my alley", lol. Thanks for posting

 

Scrolling through your Box is always fun because I never know what the next coin is going to be. "Eclectic" indeed! Thanks for sharing your numismatic journey.

 

very nice set! Impressive even..

 

Splendid collection. Eclectic really speaks to me as well. Thank you for sharing a varied and impressive group.

 

I think this is the only coin that I purposely acquired after seeing one posted on CT.
I do kind of miss seeing your Lundy Puffin.

 

An awesome collection and presentation as always @lordmarcovan !

As you know, I always admire the Peacock token (and will likely keep making this comment on each update ). I'm a fan of the Siberia 10K-always wanted one of that design and finally picked up an inexpensive 5k earlier this year (doesn't make my box, which I plan to do an updated thread on soon, unless I expand to 99 as well ). A few others that caught my eye this time around (they all did but some more than others) were the city view (something about those appeals to me-likely the amount of detail on a relatively small surface), the Australia Penny token (you don't see an emu and a kangaroo too often in one setting), the hat token (makes me think of your holey coin hat and so the token fits your collection quite well), the 1965 SMS toned cent (it was in the monster toned thread and is a spectacular toner, especially compared to most SMS coins), and the Ukraine medal (that one you purchased from me when you were looking for interesting items under $50; this one was well under ).
