<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1693344, member: 31533&quot;]I have lots of coins...... but most of them are modern US coins from circulation. I have liked CRH so much. Unfortunately, most of these will remain only as &quot;face-value&quot; types for years and years to come. So it is only for my enjoyment that I have them. But, I collect from circulation the ones that are the highest grades I can find. I want to have up to 5 of each one that is Mint State, preferably a MS 65 or above if it was graded by a top TPG. All others are considered &quot;spendable&quot; by me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have some other collections, but only one is &quot;complete&quot;. The complete one is the Canadian Wildlife Series, which I have two of for each issue, so I have 12 coins total in that. The only reason it is complete is I decided when I bought the wolf that since it was a short series that I would complete it. </p><p><br /></p><p>My other &quot;collections&quot; get added to when I have the opportunity and desire, or on happenstance. My Icelandic Kingdom coin collection is no where near completed. My Franklin Half collection still has many spots to fill.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;And I have a couple other collections, one of which I recently tried to add to, but was denied by a sniper on eBay. That was pretty nice looking bronze medal honoring the building of the Kiel Canal in Germany. But my highest bid I put in (honestly, for what I was seeing with the condition of the medal) was 73.00. And that was even more than I initially thought I would bid. My initial bid was like 51.00; but I thought if I missed it at that I might be regretting it. So I bid the highest I could possibly say I would pay for it. And at the last minute someone came in and put in the higher bid. Oh well. It would have been nice, and fit in with my collection of items from and about the Kiel Canal, it was lost to someone who wanted to pay more. Sometimes, because of price asked for an item, I simply savor it in my mind rather than add it to my collection. Others I will bid for, but if it goes higher, then I have to savor that in my mind, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a collection of minor items regarding Hamburg, Germany as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
