(Active) Eclectic "Box of 20" (Misc. certified/slabbed coins)


Box-sm.JPG

A wooden slab box that holds 20 certified coins. This set operates on the "one in, one out" principle. When a new coin goes in, an old one must come out! Anything goes in here: Ancient, Medieval, Modern, World, USA, Exonumia... you name it, as long as it's slabbed. Yes, there are a few slabbed ancients in here, but I am mostly through with the idea of entombing those in plastic. If you hate slabs as many here do, just look at the coins and ignore the labels.

(Active) Greek & Roman Provincial Coins


Thessaly-RhodianMercenaries-ARdrachm-091100.png

A new collection begun in May of 2014. Any slabbed pieces you see are also doing duty in my "Eclectic Box of 20" set, but this will otherwise be a back-to-basics collection of raw coins. I am a novice with Greek coins, so this is only a beginning.

(Retired) Lord Marcovan's Love Tokens


LT51b-1887.jpg

A date set of U.S. dimes with love token reverses. A traditional date set but with the added twist of only collecting engraved coins, which are tiny masterpieces of a dying folk art.

(Retired) Past Roman Coin Collections & Misc.


RS027-Roman-AE_dupondius,_Nero_ca_(54-68_AD)-026500.JPG

Various coins from my past Roman collections. Actually, I think some other stray files got scrambled up in here as well. This album is a mess, but the coins are still there.

(Retired) The Victoria Hope Collection (1901 British Empire type set)


VHC29-coin.jpg

This 1901 type set consists of coins from the final year of Queen Victoria's reign. I created it for my daughter, Victoria Hope. In 2014 I sold most of these coins and reinvested the money for Victoria, since she decided she's not into collecting them. One or two were reabsorbed into my own collections.

HGH-USA-Gold-_1_00-1889.JPG
USA, Type 3 Indian Princess gold dollar, 1889This appealing little coin represents the end of an era, as 1889 was the last year the United States Mint struck gold dollars. (REAL gold dollars, I mean- not what they call "golden" dollars now.) Gold dollars are the most commonly encountered US gold holeys. As such they were popular gifts at the time, and gold dollars were not far behind dimes in popularity as host coins for love token engraving. This one isn't a love token- just a holey- but I'm fond of it. I had several others on my hat but one year a friend wanted to buy a pair to make his wife some earrings for Christmas.lordmarcovan
