Don't you hate it when collectors rest on their laurels

And show the same boring coins over and over again? :#

Box of 20 collectors have a slow, lonely collection...

    Many "Box of Twenty" collectors are constantly upgrading or changing out what they believe should be in their box.
    I haven't really noticed anyone here showing off the same coin over and over again.

    I kinda meant me.

    I haven't added a piece since June of 2017 :(

    "REAL" collectors will opt for a second box of 20. :p

    It bothers me when someone proudly states that they have never sold a coin.
    If you still have every coin you ever bought, your collection is not as good as it could be. Surely your taste has improved over the years.

    I'm more like many many boxes of 20. A USA Box, a Scots box, a Russian box, an English box, a British box, a gold box, a silver crown box, a European minor box etc.

    Those earlier 20th century Polish coins go well with Romania, Portugal and Italy for attractive coinage a hundred years ago.

    I'm glad you picked up another piece, Weiss. I think this is a beautiful design and we don't see enough of them in high grade or with terrific eye appeal.

    Thanks. I bought that piece years ago, too. Wanted to have a nice BU example. Then I found out how hard it is to find one in MS condition.

    12,000,000 pieces were minted between 1932 and 1933 in London and Warsaw. Of those, about 1,000 total have been certified by NGC and PCGS. And of those, exactly 2 are graded MS65, with none higher.

    The French Sower types are extremely attractive especially if with some color like your outstanding 1919 1F Brandon. Pair that coin up with an eye appealing 1926-1928 Albania 2 Franga and that would be a winning little mini set for sure! I recall @CoinRaritiesOnline had a killer one of those a while back. I would like to see that coin again.
