Hello everyone,

Which country's silver coins do you find interesting?

How often do you consider a country's silver coins when purchasing silver coins?

Do you have silver coins from Non-US countries? Would you be interested in describing how you obtained the coin.

Thank you again
Have a great day.
-James

Im almost done with my U.S. coin collecting. The next world coin I will pay attention in the silver catagory is Canadian silver coins. I have a few already but not much.

Other silver coins from other countries I have is Peru, Brazil, & mexico.

I'm pretty much a U.S. coin only sort of collector, but I have made a small exception for U.S.-Philippines coins. They were made while the Philippines were part of the U.S. as a territory, they say United States of America on them and were made by the U.S. Mint... seems close enough to a U.S. coin for me to collect them... plus they are sweet looking:

Good stuff Illini! I have a nearly complete date and mintmark set of US-Phil coins. Not the highest grade, but I do have two proofs: 1903 1/2 centavo (cleaned, boo!) and 1905 centavo.

As far as non-US silver, the only silver I've bought in the past few months has been from the Sassanian Empire:

Peroz
Sassanian Empire
AR Drachm
‘AS’ mint (Aspahan?)
Crowned bust r.
Fire altar with attendants and ribbon, star and crescent flanking flames; “Peroz” in Pahlavi to left, mint to right.
SNS III Type IIIb/1c; Göbl III/1


Peroz
Sassanian Empire
AR Drachm
Court mint ‘BBA’
Crowned bust r.
Fire altar flanked by two attendants
SNS III Type IIIb/1c; Göbl III/1

Got the same date/mint/coin but not that lovely condition, beautiful.

I was gonna mention the Philippines but didnt. Got them all though.

Well,

I have been a U.S. collector all of my life but since I started working at a shop I have picked up some world coins.

What do I like? Beauty in a coin at a low price basically. Be it copper, nickel, aluminum or silver if it hits me I just might buy it.

I do like the Balboas and have always thought Mexico puts out some fine looking coins. I have expanded to Bolivia, Peru and Chile.

I have yet to get a nice Thaler but will eventually. I kinda like those.

In other words I see the stuff but don't pursue it. I just pick it up and slowly the collection grows.

I collect primarily Non-U.S. silver coins from 1800-1960s, I do it to be different than all the collectors of U.S. and Bullion

I ahve colected a few modern silver coins and I like the Mapleleaf and for some reason the Austrian Philharmonic. They look neat.

I rescued these from the melt bucket at work today. Paid less than melt actually so why not add Australia to my list.

Ukraine and Belarus have really nice silver coins with low mintage.

I got a 1924 Republic of Czechoslavakia silver coin for next to nothing. Its worn but its my favorite world coin. Aside from my CCCP and 1942 Nazi Germany.

I suspect that most of my coins are world coins. This 500 Lire is one of my favorite silver world coins.

Same , most of my collection is worlds silvers. I pick them up anywhere, online auctions "heritage to ebay" and also coin shops.

I like collecting anything that catches my eye , bought a lot of South American pieces lately but I have been delaying updating my photo archive due to my poor equipment setup. "I will soon get a small upgrade"

I like any silver coin. My favorite non US silver coin is the Japan 50 Sen. I have silver coins from Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, France, and the Phillipines.

I was sort of wondering why non-US silver coins seemed to be selling for less on Ebay. I think I am going to keep myself wide open for Canadian and Australian silver coins but I am a push over for aesthics ( pretty much anything pretty ) Looked through my plastic baggies of foreign coins today out of boredom and found these:
