Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2572785, member: 10461"]Well, howdy, US Coin Folk! I'm just now getting around to transferring my "Box of 20" collection from Collectors Universe over to here.  I'm not sure, but this might be my first post on the US side of these boards.  (And coincidentally, with my most expensive coin- go figure- I didn't plan that- it was just next in the chronological list.  Still, if you're making an entrance, why not put your best foot forward, huh?) You'll note a lot of seemingly unnecessary things like "United States" in the title.  This might look weird on a US Coins forum (I mean, duhh, LordM, everybody here knows that's a US coin?!?), but since my "Eclectic Box of 20" includes Ancient, World, and US issues, and even the odd piece of Exonumia now and again, I have a standard format for my titles: (country/composition/denomination/type, etc.) A few more US pieces will follow.  I am primarily a World Coin kinda guy, but I like it all, and in the US material, I like 19th century Type.  But I say again: I like it all. This is why I dropped the idea of "sets" a few years ago and went with this "Box of 20" thing.  This way I get to sample a little bit of everything and pursue whatever catches my fancy.
