Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 24809310, member: 10461"]It's been a while since I did one of these sprawling megathreads wherein I post my entire collection.  Here's the latest, just for fun. ~RWS The Eclectic Hundred This collection is intended to be a sampling of world history in 100 certified coins.  Since its scope is limited to a hundred pieces, it is not truly representative of the whole history of coinage, but I do try to collect coins from as many places and periods in history as possible. Some categories are more heavily represented, due to my preferences.  For example, you’ll see a lot of Greek and Roman pieces in the Ancients, because that’s what I like.  Because I am an American, you’ll also see multiple United States coins. This collection follows the popular certified “Box of 20” concept- except it’s a “Box of 100”. This means that to limit the collection to 100 pieces, I am forced to remove one coin every time I want to add a new one.  This can be very challenging, but the selection process hopefully results in a gradual improvement in quality as time goes on. Coins are displayed in chronological order.  Photos are not shown to scale. Thank you for taking the time to view my collection. <a href="https://www.colleconline.com/en/collection-items/20286/coins-the-eclectic-hundred" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.colleconline.com/en/collection-items/20286/coins-the-eclectic-hundred" rel="nofollow">Full galleries on CollecOnline</a> Numismatic Regards, ~Robertson (“Rob”) Shinnick (“lordmarcovan”) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Here they are.  Happy scrolling!
