I guess you didn't read the post. I referenced the one Box thread and asked "If you HAD to keep just 20 what would they be"

If you didn't want to post your top 20, you could have just skipped the thread.

I think I might need to add a one-box collection to my collection.

The Lighthouse box I used for my Ike set holds 50 slabs. There is a matching 25 slab version I might consider using for this project down the road.

Very tough exercise . I took this to mean the 20 coins I already own. I was only able to do it by quickly flipping through some albums, and then walking away and composing this.

- 6 of the medieval/Renaissance gold coins in my collection
- 2 14th century Duchy of Lorraine silver coins that are in high grade for their type
- 1 15th century Duchy of Ferrara coin with a renaissance portrait I really like
- 2 17th century Salzburg coins in my saints theme
- 2 Italian scudos: 1756 Lucca (St. Martin), and 1678 Tuscany (scene of John baptizing Jesus)
- 6 Kingdom of Poland coins with the best portraits of these rulers: Sigismund I, II, III, Stefan Batory, Jan Casimir and Jan Sobieski. This also nets 2 or 3 with provenance from a famous Polish-American collection.
- 1474 Briquet of Flanders, my earliest dated coin

Most of these have been posted on CCF perviously somewhere.

Glad to post selected photos on request, or point to the threads where they can be found, so as to not overload with photos.

The two topics were merged. No real reason to keep them separated and too many people were coming to me confused about it.

Ah! That explains why there were suddenly a bunch of older posts (with lost of pictures) that I swear I hadn't seen before. And here I thought I was going senile.

Of course, I suppose I could still be going senile...

Amazing coins, everyone!

Here's one I completely forgot to add to my previous list that would definitely need to go into the box:
