<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7922684, member: 10461"]Thank you. I really appreciate the attention, and crave this kind of detailed commentary on my collection, since I live in a bit of a numismatic backwater and no longer get out to shows, and have never been active in coin clubs and such. This site (and Collectors Universe, and now CollecOnline, where the new gallery is hosted) are my "coin clubs", as it is. Only once a year or so, when I go visit my dealer friends in North Carolina, do I get this kind of feedback from other coin people.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS- Guess I'd better never sell that Swiss cityview, huh? It's always been a bit of a crowd-pleaser since I got it. Though it's not Mint State ("only" an AU58), it remained the sole certified example the last time I checked the PCGS cert page (population 1, none higher). I bought that one already in the slab. But of course when one has somewhat esoteric tastes like I do, and go "off the beaten path" a bit, it's not hard to end up having a lot of pop.1, "finest certified" examples. Sometimes I find myself the only person who's ever submitted a particular type of coin to the TPGs. If yours happens to be the only one certified, there's not a lot of competition for the top slot![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
