​And all the rest
aka 'The Professor Page'
This page will be disappearing after additional 'world coin' categories are added.

The Professor and Mary Ann were two of the best characters on Gilligan's Island, yet were somehow left out by the main theme song (at least in the first season).  This is the 'Professor' page--for the random coins that don't fit the named collections.  The 'Mary Ann' page shows the left out medals.

Loosely, not only is this the category for the 'leftovers', but it also is the so-called 'Box of Twenty'.  That is a concept popularized (a bit) on the PCGS forums, as a theoretical box that holds twenty coins that may not have a theme but are the core of what you would want if you could only have 20 coins.  With quality over quantity.  Real life dictates that I don't have a 'Box of Twenty'--I'm too fond of my type sets and 'minor collections'.  But...there are a few coins that aren't 'collections' per se, but I can't seem to part with.  So here are some of what would be in my box... if I had one.
Picture
NGC MS-67.  Czech Republic.  Slabbed this one myself.  No coin theme to cover it, but it's too pretty to sell.

Picture
Who doesn't love a Central American Sun Face?

Picture
Gibraltar rocks.  Seriously.  Smashed peas and monkeys.  Oh, and a little old 100-ton gun.  Totally worth visiting.

Picture
Vittorio was not a person to admire but he did have some amazing coin designs.

Picture
One more Vittorio...any more and I may have to make them a page after all.  But hey, a nekkid dude coin deserves to be shown off.

Picture
Italy/Genoa 1796, 4 Lira.  NGC MS-62.

Picture
Bought during the reading of The Order of the Phoenix.​

Picture
Greenland 1926 50 ore. NGC MS-66.  The obv/rev really do look different.

Picture

Picture
Mexico 1866-Mo, peso.  PCGS AU-55.

Picture
Baden-Durlach 1863, thaler. PCGS MS-63.

Picture
Commemorating 1,000 years of the Althing, one of the oldest legislative bodies in the world.  A 5 and 2 Kronur denomination were also minted.  

Political parties with 5% of the electoral vote have seats.  The Althing is the first government body to have officially elected members of the Pirate Party.  Maybe having some elected Libertarians or Green Party candidates someday isn't so far fetched after all.
