One of the more eclectic themes that I find very interesting are Sede Vacante (Vacant Seat) Medals/Talers. Worldcoinguy has built quite a collection worth looking at. Until I met Brent (virtually and in person) I did not know much about Talers and knew nothing about the Sede Vacante issues. Through discussion and virtual "show and tell" I was sort of lured into buying a medal on the recent CNG auction. Large silver with very intricate designs and themes - what's there not to like!
** The extra space character in the city's name is forced otherwise forum software asterix's it for that 3 letter donkey word. I guess the coders tightened up the posting rules.

As to subverting the robocensor, not even the old code insertion trick has been working for me sometimes. It'll stick for one edit, but if I edit again, the asterisks come back. I think there has been a time or two it didn't work at all.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Interesting to note that the "city of three rivers" on the German/Austrian border has current relevance in the news. The city of 50,000 is one of the biggest entry points for refugees flooding into Germany over the last year.
I have been intrigued by these medals especially with Iosephus posting some wonderful examples fairly regularly. I don't know if I can afford to jump into this area but if money were not an object, I would certainly be picking over your duplicates.
