I see you are still on your quest to collect the best specimens across the board.

Pretty incredible.

Thanks, Mark. I suppose I have always favored quality over quantity. I'd rather look at a perfect coin a thousand times than a thousand "fair" coins once. One does need to consider artistry, historical associations, and rarity, of course, but collecting brings one an intimate knowledge of compromise.
