<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 2843557, member: 23778&quot;]We all like to think of ourselves as collecting coins and some people here actually study them.&nbsp; But let&#039;s be honest: what are you?</p><p><br /></p><p>1. An accumulator sets out to acquire as many coins as possible of a&nbsp; country, set or theme.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.

My goal is to acquire at least one of as many German coins as possible.&nbsp; I have almost all the silver issues from 1933 on, am well on the way to completing a set of Empire silver and have lots from German States.&nbsp; I also have a few German gold coins and a lot of German non-PM coins.&nbsp; But I have to admit to being an accumulator.&nbsp; If I see a coin in half way decent condition and it fills a gap I buy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
