<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 3025163, member: 69089&quot;]To answer your poll question, I find it very appealing. I gave it an 8, and if not for the ancients, it would&#039;ve scored even higher.&nbsp; Nothing against ancients, mind you, but it&#039;s a category I know almost nothing about, so the wow factor of those ancients doesn&#039;t register with me the way it may for others.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I really like about the Box of 20, however, is the concept of keeping it small and not filling holes just for the sake of filling holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting coins ever since 1969 (not counting a few years off for college and getting my career started) and somehow after almost 50 years I&#039;ve still managed to keep my total inventory at around 300 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a few Whitman folders as a kid, I realized I had no interest in date and mint mark series, and that&#039;s certainly helped keep the volume in check. Beyond that, I just like the intimacy (for want of a better word) of a collection I can inventory in my head, not just in a spreadsheet on my computer. I&#039;ve never said to myself, &quot;Gee, I forgot I had that coin!&quot; and probably no more than two weeks ever go by with my viewing every coin I own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize 300-ish coins is far cry from 30-ish, but every time I see your collection it kind of reinforces the direction I&#039;ve pursued with mine.&nbsp; And for that, sir, I thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
