About a year ago I sold off my box of 20 in order help fund the building of a new home. Well today was the day we finally moved in. For the last six months I've worked nights and weekends in order to build it and had to call in a life time of favors from friends and family to make it all happen.
I can't wait to start my new box of 20 so if you would please post one of your favorite coins to give me some ideas.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Smart move.
Look at NGC graded obols or staters. Cheap for what you get IMO.
Looks great. I know there was a lot of hard work and sacrifice to build your home.
Congrats on your nice looking new home USMarine6 and thank you for your service to our Country, it is/was very much appreciated by this American!
Congrats. Definitely a labor of love. Been there. Done that.

You can't live in a box of 20 but you can start another. Congrats to you!
Great looking place. Smart move.
Beautiful!
Glad that it all worked out for you.
Now, you can start over again, with a nicer place to live.

Much better investment than a box of coins...
Beautiful new home and just in time for the holidays! I'm sure you will also enjoy starting a new collection again as well.

Congratulations on your new home
Look again..... It's already there
Congratulations!!! Place looks great.
I still have the Charlottes. Not sure if they were from your box of 20.....but they provide me comfort while still living here in my van down by the river.
That is awesome. Congratulations! Very satisfying to do something yourself and makes it twice as nice if it was a challenge.
Wow! Beautiful house, you did a great job!
That's better than any box of twenty!

Very nice! Best of luck with it.

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Well done! I sold a big chunk of my collection to build a shop 2 or 3 years ago. It was the best move I ever made.
As you do another Bo20, give it some thought and be very picky. It will be so much nicer the second time around.
That was quick! Really nice. Brain fart on my part

It was all well worth it. Whenever I looked at the wife today she had a smile on her face that I couldn't have taken off with a 2x4.
Thank you everyone for the kind words and well wishes.
I’ve had a crappy month this literally also put a smile on my face as well

Solid MS68. Get that white stuff off and it might go 69 or 70.
Collector, occasional seller
Congratulations! Beautiful home there! I have built two and am now looking forward to downsizing once the kids have moved on. That kitchen faucet looks like ours.
Enjoy your labor of love!
I'm not happy about it either
Smart move, you won.

Very good trade. Your house will bring you many more memories then the coins.
While I did not have to sell off my collection for a new kitchen, my kitchen, which was just finished, has halted most of my purchasing activity this year. My wife thinks your decorator has good taste. You will be very happy with the kitchen... We are happy with ours.
You did well, pat yourself on the back and I wish you the best in your new home. Your next box of 20 will be even better.
Amazing you got the house built with a box of twenty........ Your new house looks to be extremely well constructed and on a significant lot to boot. Congratulations on a job well done.

Congrats, Brother! You purchased a house with your collection and now your wife will make it a home! Doesn't get any better... Semper Fi!
Congratulations & well done! may you enjoy your beautiful home for many years.
Well done. Congratulations on the new place.

Looks great!
No GFCI outlets?
After doing that project, looking at coins might be boring!
Congrats on the new home! PL/ * coin for your consideration!
Yep ... better than any box of 20. Congrats!

Money well spent
Many congratulations to you and your wife on a job extremely well done!
Here's one of our favorites, a 1909-S/S RPM FS-1501 (not the common S/Horiz S) MS64BN formerly in the recently retired Abe's Coloring Book #1 Toned Wheaties registry set.
Happy for you!
