    Nice presentation. Now all you need are the "lot" descriptions for those of us who don't know the coins.

    The Swiss know how to do coins and you know how to pick them.

    What the yeti said, and that the German and British coins are a bit out of place in a ~90% Swiss set.

    Otherwise, the presentation, images and coins are exquisite.

    The idea of the "Box of 20" came from the lightside...

    Pick your twenty best/favoite coins, and when you buy a new one, you have to get rid of one you don't like.

    Keeps the collection small, powerful, and eventually incredible.

    Nice coins Lieutenant.

    That little 5 rappen is a photogenic sweetheart, eh.


    A couple of Seated Helvetias (2, 5 francs) would round out the portrait. Of course, a killer Gothic florin would be nice too. image

    Finding a 20 franc with some nice claret toning on the rims would be cool.....but I like 'em, especially that Grau......SWEET. I'd love to see them all one day!!!


    I don't think I've bought any new Swiss in 3 years +, but I know everything I did buy from 2002-2008 averaged about $0.72 per CHF. Now, it's nearly $1.13 image

    Darkside (and Swiss) has proven a great currency hedge if nothing else.

    Love the toning and look of the Swiss (?) coin - second row center.

    I think you just need a big Swiss gold 100 francs coin and you'll be all set. image

    Realized I hadn't replied to this.

    Thanks all for the advice. I am taking the input to heart and working on some of the recommendations.
    It would be pretty cool to have Hyperlinks to the individual coins...

    I count seventeen, but those seventeen are beautiful. Room for more without selling.

    Hotdiggety. They're all eyepoppers, but that Victoria copper at top right caught my eye. It sure has the "satiny" look goin' on.
