[QUOTE="Rono, post: 1825021, member: 6492"]Howdy, First of all, collect what you want. I think you have a plan, but try not to pigeon hole it too much - let it flow. I happen to love the int'l bullion issues and have been collecting them for a while. I started with a 'type' collection in a Dansco trying to show a different coin from as many countries as possible. Note that I also have a starter collection of silver crowns. Crowns are the earlier version of the modern bullion coins but normally had kings and queens on them. And I've done it for gold bullion coins (current and older). Part of arranging these bullion coins into a set is silly but in response to a little paranoia regarding the gov't confiscating bullion but not collections. [yeah, weak but WTF] That said, once I got going, I found that if you buy them every year, some will readily stand out as collections on their own. For example, I now have danscos for both Mexican Libertads and Canadian Maple Leafs just like the one I have for ASEs. I also had to ordre blank pages for my danscos that had large enough holes to hold some of the larger issues. This way within an album of 'silver rounds' or 'silver crowns' I can keep my kooks and pandas and brits together. I also keep a year set of ASE's in tubes of 25 and have various and sundry stacks and what not. I just started with hocky pucks and have a tube for the bullion types. And the bottom line is that you are the only person that has to be happy so whatever it takes. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
