Some really nice coins in your collection!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Amazing, otherwise beyond words.
Some amazing coins, you have a good eye.
My Type Set
Nothing short of an absolutely incredible collection!!
Really enjoy your collection. I feel like I have drooled over many of these on the Atlas Numismatics website at some point!
Other than stunning eye appeal, any theme that you are going for? Or do you simply buy things that you like?
Thanks for sharing.
My current "Box of 20"
Thank you! I really just buy things that I like, although I do try to combine top eye appeal and top certified grade when I can.

That Third Reich proof is pretty impressive. I also like the look on the penny.

The frosted crown is dazzling.
Two new additions:
German 1913 Copper Pattern 3 Mark Schaaf-52G1, PCGS SP66RB
French 1795 silver Freemasonry Medal, PCGS AU58, for the Masonic Lodge of Perfect Equality in Rouen. A Masonic lodge is the basic organizational unit of Freemasonry, commonly used as a term for a building in which Freemasons meet, or for the group itself that is meeting. Freemasons gather together as or at a lodge to work as the three basic "Degrees" of Freemasonry: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master Mason.
Obverse: Two skeletons, the one at right crowned and with a scepter in hand, the one at left holding a level and a shepherd's staff, each standing at one side of a central altar topped with an open book; above, an illuminated delta inscribed with the Hebrew name of God; on either side, columns engraved with the letters "B" and "J", for Boaz and Jachin, the pillars on the porch of Solomon's Temple. Columns representing Boaz and Jachin can be found in most Masonic Lodges, and are emblematic of their use in Masonic rituals as a representation of Solomon's Temple.
Reverse: The Square and Compasses logo with G (usually for Geometry) in blazing central pentagram, acacia branches intertwining throughout, star below / LOGE DE LA PARFAITE ÉGALITÉ O∴ DE ROUEN.

Couple of new Spanish purchases:
1824 Maravedi, NGC MS69RB. Xuvia Mint. This was a one-year type, and the only of the denomination struck under Ferdinand VII, and though it is a fairly common type, it certainly isn't in this grade. To my knowledge, this is the oldest coin with an NGC grade of 69.
1905 Medal, PCGS SP66 Matte. By Bartolome Maura, Madrid. 50mm. The obverse features a half-length bust of a traditional armored knight with a lance in hand and the text CENTENARIO DE LA APARICION DEL QUIJOTE. The reverse features a view of the Palacio de los Duques de Villahermosa in Pedrola, Spain, and the text POR CERVANTES Y ARAGON LA DUQUESA DE VILLAHERMOSA. Struck to commemorate the third centenary of the publication of Miguel de Cervantes's "Don Quijote", sponsored by the Duchess of Villahermosa. Vives-620.
