What do you all think about a Gold Box of 20 ?
What would your box of 20 contain?
I‘m not big on silver items but if anyone wants to toss in some ideas on a general box of 20 containing anything that would be welcome.
Ordering a High Relief CAC Saint yesterday and having completed a CAC 12 coin gold type set , I thought a good start . Thus the question looking for ideas 💡
If you want we can make this all CAC sets .

I am a gold type collector. I've been working on this set in the registry: "Gold type set, circulation strikes (1795-1933)". It has 36 coins total. I think the above 20 are a nice representative group. I left out some of the tougher or more expensive coins like the small eagle $5/$10, early $2.5's.
Here is my set so far.

Take your time and pick nice/ better looking CAC coins and for a good price, but skip a couple so that I can buy one or two!🙂
I think my brain shut down for the evening lol

This is something I have done without really trying. One of the searches I do on eBay is ‘Cac’ and then I filter results by newly listed and then the coin series I am interested in. On one search the newest CAC coin listed was an 1836 half dime which spoke to me so I bought it and ended up completing a date set around it. A box of 20 coins that made you pause will always be pleasing.
I need to start buying coins I like !
No one can expect to have it all. I once had a customer who collected WORLD by date.
He may have had a CLOSET of TWENTY.
20 Shoeboxes full. Attributed, 2x2'ed, sorted.
And he LOVED it!
Personally, my "box of 105" ...or so... is a conglomeration of coins that I see, want, and buy.
Great advice.
Since you like SG 20's, go find an Omega high relief counterfeit in high grade? A beautiful coin with a story, rarer than the real deal, that you can keep raw and hand around to friends?
