Buy your "dream" Box o' 20

Cladiator posted a "name your dream box" thread, and while it's easy to rattle off 20 coins you want, it might not be possible to acquire them within a known amount of time. So as not to hijack his thread, I'm making a copycat one with the restriction that you have to build it from auctions and you can only go back to August 1, 2005. Now that PCGS has auction prices realized for Important Coins™, this shouldn't be mechanically difficult for US stuff. So what are your 20 coins, and how much did they cost? I'll post mine when I figure it out (and it won't be a run of 1878 VAMs).

It's been 18 years. Thanks for waiting for me @messydesk 😉 Sorry it took so long!! 🤣 😂
My key dates all in soap bars.

So, do we get to see the coins?
I would like to see the coins too @OAKSTAR
No, it's @messydesk thread. You have to ask him first. 🤣 😂 😉

God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
Clearly, I'm missing something...
Don't feel bad. I'm missing something also. This thread was out there for 18 years, without comment. I'm not even sure if my post is related to this thread! 🤣 😂 I'm waiting for John to comment. 🤣 😉

I forgot about this thread. It's in bad form to be the first to reply to your own post on a discussion board, so I had to wait until now to post to it. Now that @OAKSTAR has posted a box of 20, perhaps I'll come up with mine before 2043. The first post restricted the timeline that the coins were available at auction to a two year window. Pick a two year window over the past 20 years and put together a really cool box of 20 using coins sold within that window.
