<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 622563, member: 6229&quot;]My &quot;birthyear&quot; collection is a continuing process.&nbsp; I am only collecting silver coins (no proofs) dated 1935 (my birth year) worldwide.&nbsp; U.S.A. (no commemoratives yet) and Canada were the first obtained. Next came Cuba and Mexico.&nbsp; Australia followed, then Ireland, Japan, the rest of the Americas (many didn&#039;t issue silver coins in 1935), and the rest of the Caribbean nations. Germany&#039;s Silver 5 Reichsmark coins were finally acquired last year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Many countries (i.e. Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Philippines, etc. only authorized one silver coin in 1935). Many countries struck two silver coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was surprising to discover many nations (large and micro) did not produce any coinage (silver or otherwise) in 1935.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I still need three Great Britain, two New Zealand and 24&nbsp; coins from 17 other countries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Besides my &quot;birthyear&quot; collection I have acquired several of the following coins, just because I like their looks and/or history:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Silver Philippines Pesos, Mexican Pesos, Onzas, Libertads and 8 Reales. Chinese Silver Dollars and some Pandas, Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Walking Liberty Half Dollars, Flying Eagle Cents, Indian Head Cents, Lincoln Cents, Buffalo Nickels, Washington Quarters, W-L Halves, Franklin Halves, Kennedy Halves, Commemorative Halves and Dollars, Siver Ike Dollars, All the Sac Dollars (no proofs), All the Pres. Dollars (Unc and Proof), Creek Indian Silver Dollars, Silver Eagles (some &quot;W&quot; mint marks, some proofs some burnished) Canadian Silver Dollars and $5 Maple Leafs, Bhutan Ngultrums, Some early Panama Silver Balboas and all the 1904 silver coins (2 1/2 Centimos, 5 C., 10 C, 25 C, and 50 C), Singapore Mint sets, and a few other coins that caught my fancy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
