Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2735506, member: 10461"]The $2300 coin was the half-eagle, so yes, technically my daughter's, but she's not into collecting and is letting me play around with her investment (which came from the old Victorian type set I built her in 2001-2012).  Swapping away the Dahlonega half-eagle rids me of a US coin (which are slightly less interesting to me), but I'll be getting a different US coin, as mentioned.  Whether my new "investments" flop in the ten years or so before my daughter "cashes out" remains to be seen.  She'll get some money from me regardless, so it's like she has a $2300+ IOU and is totally fine with that. You're right that some pruning of the set is due.  The Amisos owl is one of the lower value coins but recent (I got it in December), and I like owls, so it'll stay for a little while.  The Septimius Severus has been "on deck" for removal from the box for a while.  Not that it's a bad coin at all.  I rather like it, in fact.  But I like all of 'em, of course.  So yes, the SeptSev will go before too long. But I do think I'm going to expand to a Box of 25 soon (the actual size of my box- I've been using the five spare slots for pieces "in transit" and a magnifier and stuff).  I don't think stretching to 25 will be diluting things too much. Nobody's seen the hint, eh?  Well, it's popped up several times.  Here it comes again, in just a moment...[/QUOTE]
