I got way to hyper focused of putting my 1/2 Bust collection together. It burned me out and I started making mistakes. So to take a break I started looking at foreign silver. I'm 50 but have never had an interest in it. But let me tell you.... so refreshing!! My last 2 trips to the LCS.
That's what got it started. I seen them on here. The pics do no justice. They're gorgeous! Toned devices are just fabulous on them. So much so I duplicated the 31. Even my dealer was jealous. I am looking for a Russian Catherine 2 (20) Kopeks. Will probably be the center piece of it all.
Buckle up. It is quite addicting. I was a relatively late collector of world coins as well. You should check out this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/world-silver-crown-size-type-coin-collectors.332573/
Nope! Didn't care. Just liked them both. I got out of this hobby back in 2013 because of life edited. I am trying to do it differently this time around. I am trying to be more relaxed about it. All and all I'm struggling with that. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Keep reading CT, it can de-stress you and sometimes give you a chuckle. Also check out the 1965-73 Frech 10 franc coins...
Great choices! I love the German 5 Mark coins, especially when you find some issues from states other than Prussia at relatively low prices.
