Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2521075, member: 10461"]Welcome to my first B20 update over here on the CoinTalk side. I sold the 1913-E Saxony 3-mark and the 1978 Canadian $100, as previously mentioned. Added a 1898 Guatemala quarter-real and a 1916-A German half-mark, which you'll see below.  I used the funds from the sold coins to buy a nice camera and accessories. Though the new coins were much less expensive than the coins they replaced, I don't think I sacrificed much in eye appeal in the process. On Collectors Universe, I was accustomed to editing the OP of the thread and posting the new purchases at the bottom, but it was suggested by GDJMSP and one other member that over here I should just post the entire newly-reconstituted collection in a new reply each time I update. I have decided not to try reposting all the subthreads over here.  That's just too much work.  So they'll still all lead over to Collectors Universe. Here is the set as of September 17, 2016. <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=916770&STARTPAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=916770&STARTPAGE=1" rel="nofollow">Ancient Greece (Thessaly), silver "Rhodian Mercenaries" drachm struck by King Perseus of Macedon, ca. 175-170 BC</a> <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Thessaly-Pseudo-Rhodian-drachm-091100-coin-800x500.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.aspx?catid=6&threadid=930654&STARTPAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.aspx?catid=6&threadid=930654&STARTPAGE=1" rel="nofollow">Ancient Roman Republic: silver denarius of moneyer L.

to leave next.  I will miss it if it does, but a friend is hot to trot on it, so some swap ideas are percolating...[/QUOTE]
