how about a branch mint gold piece and/or a pioneer gold piece?
Gem Barber dime, quarter & half dollar
BHNC #203
Early US gold (Bust or Classic), 1921 Peace dollar, colonial copper, buffalo nickel, Merc dime. Oh, BTW, make the CC Morgan a DMPL if you can.
A really nice 1979 Susan B. Anthony?
(I figure you'll get so many good ideas, that you need at least one you can reject with ease).
MS Early Capped Bust half (pre-1820)
MS Early Walker (1916-1933)
MS Seated Dollar
MS Trade Dollar
Proof Morgan
MS 20 Cent Piece
MS Barber Half
AU Draped Bust Half or Dollar
Just to name a few.......

Gosh I think a Fugio should be on your list!

The beauty of a Box of 20 is that it doesn't have to be planned!

Fugio Cent.
Limit yourself to one gold coin from twenty different countries.
Since historic and dark side - you might consider a USSR ruble 1924.
A British trade dollar would also expand you to Asia a bit.

RE:
I'm going to be distilling down my certified collection to a box of 20 over the next half-decade, ... I have identified 13 coins that I would like to acquire - ideas for the other seven anyone?
You don't own a single coin now that will be in your box of 20?
Coins you really adore.

I'm a box of 20 guy. The best thing I like about is that there are no rules. Once you have the 20 they can always change if you want them to
A nice box of 20 type set doubled dies-

a box of 20 boxes of 20
That's seditious. The Reds are gonna overtake us. :'(
However, I do have a British trade dollar and a pillar dollar.
And a wannabe pillar dollar.
I'd do a Box of 18 instead.

I would consider a separate Darkside box of twenty and a US box of twenty for a total of 40. I doubt that my other ideas would pass the straight face test so I will yield the floor
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
This is what I do when doing a box of 20. I try to buy it right so it can grow in price like a retirement does. That's why I try to cherry pick so I can buy a coin at lets say $50.00 then after it's put in a holder with all the mumbo jumbo it's worth $600 or more then it will go into my box of 20, It Takes some time to do this but it's worth it later.
Just guess if you would of bought 20-$25 Palladium Eagle at $100 over melt or even $200 over you would be in good shape right now. Some of the new stuff as it comes out can be a still of a deal you just need to look at all the stuff and try not to buy the junk that's key.
Just always buy something special at the right price,
The stuff you see all the time will always be there but the good stuff you need to look for it. Have fun just me dumb Type2 playing with friends.
Hoard the keys.
I like boxes of 20 - have about 40 of them.
Hah on you. I have 20 boxes of 40!

I would suggest 20 different beautifully toned type coins pre 1950, AU55 or better, with only one of each design type.
For the barber series I'd suggest a half, for the seated, a dollar, for draped bust a dime, capped bust half dime, etc.

A PanPac $50 Octagonal.... for me, that would be a box of one....

Mine is a box of 48, I wish you well trying to limit it to 20.........most folks can not

I'd get a mint error in the box--pick your favorite series, and then buy a really eye-catching error for that series.
