<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5237380, member: 19463"]I collect coins but there are many coins I do <u>not</u> collect including anything too modern to suit my whim. The Levon tram is a bit new but is a design that always appealed to me (love those lions) so I got one from the February Frank Robinson sale. As I recall the one he listed was nicer than mine (facial detail on both obverse lions) but he had 'backup stock' and sent me one for what I had bid that was not all that bad but not spectacular. I am not a 'spectacular' collector so I was happy to have it. How much extra is a lion face and two lion rears worth? I do wonder how many he had and sent out to other 'losers'. I still 'need' an AE tank but that is a need that may or may never happen since I am not in a hurry for coins I do not really collect. As I get older, I wonder when I will decide I have enough coins that I do not collect. The coin was my favorite of 2020 in the $30-39 bracket from my secondary list.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/2020-coins-by-price-bracket-%E2%80%93-dougsmit.370881/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/2020-coins-by-price-bracket-%E2%80%93-dougsmit.370881/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/2020-coins-by-price-bracket-–-dougsmit.370881/</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1217534[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
