My PCGS/NGC "Eclectic Box of 20" collection

[lordmarcovan]

 

 

My numismatic interests have always been pretty diverse, so there's a little of everything here: Ancient, Medieval, USA, England, World coins, and even a token or two. I've found the transition to a smaller, more "freestyle" collection refreshing. It's nice to just sort of follow some of my whims and add certain coins because I like them, rather than feeling like a slave to the structure of any predetermined "sets".

I have read many of your posts on PCGS but do not post there. For someone who has mentioned many times that you work on a limited budget, I think you have a really nice collection.
