    What a fantastic display! I've probably viewed these 20 or so times, now. For some reason, the British pieces continue to catch my eye. Well done, Sir!

    Impressive. If I might throw in an observation this collection somewhat loosely tracks Western European Civilization through around the early 20th Century at which point it starts to veer off a little or if you like becomes the more "eclectic."

    I gave him $20 or so 10-15 years ago for a treasure hunt in England. Never a word since.

    Are you one of the “Lord Marcovan to England” donors from CU, then? If so, count this as belated thanks to you and everyone else whose gifts paid for about half of my trip over there.

    It checked off the #1 item on my bucket list, so thank you. :)

    (I did do a group thanks and a gold coin giveaway after the trip. Sorry if you never got personal thanks.)

    Those were fun times on CU. A hunt in England had to be a dream come true.

    As others have said, simply an astounding collection.
    "Eclectic" in this case has such an artistic expression.

    Each is eye-popping in its own right but I must say the Napolean Bonaparte medal really caught my eye for the realistic appearance. And to think it was accomplished almost exactly 200 years ago.

    Thank you for letting us share in your collection.

    ps. That colorful 1965 SMS Lincoln cent is no slouch either.

    Beautiful collection. We have similar tastes but I do not have the discipline to limit myself to 100 coins. I especially liked the Conder token and the Peacock Jewelers Hard Times token, they are atypical when one looks at other tokens in those series.
