[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8069967, member: 56859"]Wow, RC-- there is more diversity here than I thought there would be. Between this list and the oodles of specialist Faustina coins you acquired, it seem to be a banner year for your collection! I love your #1 and #2 choices for the reasons they were given that slot. Later in this thread (after retrieving some coins from the SDB), I'll add a few gift coins that are special to me.
