<p>[QUOTE="Richard M. Renneboog, post: 2851251, member: 89693"]I'm undefined. My collection, if you want to call it that, consists of the first example of each year that I receive in my pocket change. All circulated, of course, but because each one is so new it is in extremely pretty condition. I do look for older coins, major variations and error coins as well, but I don't invest in purchasing coins, except in a very rare case. Minor variations such as a tiny DD on one letter on a coin do not interest me in any way as those are just coins that fall within the quality control limits of the minting process anyway. I have accumulated rolls of US pennies (or cents, if you prefer) as they have appeared in pocket change here in Canada, as well as nickels, dimes and quarters. We no longer use pennies here, so I have kept all of the pennies that I have accumulated and still find occasionally, but the white coinage just gets reused unless there is a date that fills a gap. (In reference to someone's earlier post, as a Big Bang Theory fan, I also have a favourite 'Penny'.) I also rather half-heartedly set up a collection of British, French and Belgian coins (just because I could), but my participation in that part of the hobby has not gotten any farther (yet).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
