<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2459836, member: 76111&quot;]Going through my recent purchases and weaving them into my collection in correct order (Crawford first, Sear RIC second, and Sydenham third when that&#039;s the only reference) is a morning exercise done only a few times a year, with coffee on my back patio before the rest of the house is awake.&nbsp; It is one of the pure joys of the hobby for me and I spend a long time savoring it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had a chance to do it this morning (remember the Swiss Coin Fairy visited recently).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To my surprise, I&#039;ve bought a duplicate!&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t say my collection has gotten to the size that I&#039;ve forgotten what&#039;s in it from memory.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;m just getting old.&nbsp; Or have mad cow.&nbsp; Anyway, I really didn&#039;t realize I already had one of these!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing in my favor is that these coins have really different styles so I could be forgiven for not recognizing the type??&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So here they are.&nbsp; I wonder if I should keep both since they are so different?&nbsp; If I keep only one, it will be the new one with it&#039;s fabulous old collection tone, provenance, style and condition.&nbsp; I probably will sell the old one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>New:</p><p><br /></p><p>M.
