    I would bet that a full third of my current collection has been as a result of me seeing an interesting coin here on CT. I lay the full responsibility of this most recent purchase on @lordmarcovan (in a friendly way of course).

    I haven’t received this Taler just yet but am looking very forward to holding it. Now that I am old with failing eyesight, larger coins appeal to me….. A year or so back, I read a legit news story about Bigfoot sightings on the little island where my weekend getaway shack is. Shortly after that, our esteemed Lord displayed a “Wildman” 2/3 Taler here on CT and I was rather taken with the piece due to its Wildman/Bigfoot association….. So when I found this one on EBay, the bidding war was on!

    Show your coins that found their way into your collection after being enabled by a CT photo or story.

    Nice example and be careful they are quite addictive I am told. I kept seeing coins shown of Faustina I, wife of Antoninus Pius. I really wanted one but it was only recently that a nice example came up for sale.

    @Chris B is the one to blame for Wildman stuff.

    I don’t remember who to blame it on, but after I saw someone post one of these notgeld tokens with a cat, I had to have one.

    I still add a few here and there when I can afford them. Still the favorite part of my collection.

    Most interesting coin find (CRH) got me into a war nickel obsession for a little while. 20211015_175341.jpg

    The coin that started this silly thread arrived today. Unquestionably the largest hunk of coin I have ever owned. Pretty impressive in mass. And the old Wildman is sporting a hunk of abs.

    What's the current saying - it's been a minute ? Well, a minute would hardly suffice, as it's been quite a while since I posted this comment.

    Beware the power of the Dark Side! You've already lost and just don't know it yet ;)

    edit - I warned you about this a while back :)
