    What's in that box ? ;)

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    A set of cathedral medals by Wiener depicting the cathedrals of Italy.
    Original felt lined wooden box.
    I have seen very few original sets for sale. Never this one.

    I wish there was a “love” button. Very cool. Willing to say where you got this from?

    I don't mind. I was browsing a Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. auction.
    Just happened to click on the shop link and found it.

    The medals appear to be in excellent condition which is somewhat surprising considering that the box itself shows heavy wear. Nice find!
