My Twisted Mind

How do I start another topic for collecting?
Well, this morning, I check out the BST forum as I periodically do. I note an entry for William & Mary.
That combined portrait always intrigued me, so I took a look.
Very nice, but I do not collect that particular type of medal.
But I really like the obverse.
But I already have a crown of William & Mary.
But that obverse does not look anywhere near as nice as that of the medal.
But I don't collect that type of medal.
But collecting that type of medal is a doable series, the way I would put it together.
But I am saving up for the NYINC.
But my interests are narrowing to the point that I am not finding things I really like.
Ah, frick it. I want that medal.

Darn you, numismatic fates!

If it's the medal that I'm thinking of, I don't blame you, that's is a real beauty!

I think King William was messin' with my mind. Those side long glances.

Haha, I've had those conversations with myself. Usually during live auction bidding when coins are flying by at lightning speeds.

Don't feel bad. I've slid down the slippery slope towards exonumia quite a bit myself, in the past four years or so. Hard not to, sometimes.






But I still haven't started collecting Conder tokens.

I became interested in these items after I saw one in a 1946 movie:


Egypt Magic Coin medal/token

I posted what I found out here:
