What would your list look like?
1917; were it a 1916, I believe there would be a space between the drapery on the left obverse and the pedestal.
My problem is more that I know I already have three of one coin, but I just need one more to complete another set of something or other. Hence,...
Yep, anniversary; quite a nice design. I've also got the 1911 50 lire, which is very similar, just with a heftier price tag.
Go out and spend them before they lose what little purchasing power they have left.
If you're not being compensated for your time, why bother?
I hate to say it, but there's nothing like a Nazi occupation and war to halt the production and circulation of silver coinage...
I think that the 1887-1937 5 pound pieces generally sell for a premium above bullion, actually.

Umm, affordable?!? Certainly not within my (strained) budget!
I think that if the mint reduced the quantity of new items each year and focused on quality instead, the future of numismatics would be somewhat...

Hmm, ok, an affordable list of must have world coins: 1. Great Britain Victoria One Crown (1887-1900) 2. 1935 Canada Silver Dollar 3. 1910 Mexico...
Reminds me of Canada's recent silver coins with denominations far exceeding their silver value.
I actually prefer the preliminary version to the one actually adopted; anyone else in the same boat?
The question isn't whether it's possible but whether it's desirable. Are you willing to condemn the economy to widespread deflation?
I love Portgual's coinage, although not so much the modern stuff; rather, the late Kingdom/Early Republic items are really beautiful in their own...
Hmm, I don't know; could it be an impaired proof?
The fact that the mint is now having to resort to consistent gimmicks like the "W" cent and now a reverse proof nickel concerns me; seems to...
