<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 2861432, member: 88212&quot;]For beginning collectors - before they specialize - some will try to collect one coin from each country where advanced collectors will try to get one coin of each type. I have a modified country collection. I attempt to get a counterfeit or cheater (holed) coin from each member nation of the UN. Then I also keep the oldest coin I own for each country.&nbsp; Next up is the nastiest dirty or corroded coin from each country. Finally there is a silver coin from each country. Where none exist I substitute with the rarest coin I own or my favorite if none are rare. I designed this to lay out five countries per page in 2x2 sheets but so far they are in metal photographic slide boxes with about 150 coins per case. When you are starting out you can dip in the dealer junk boxes and get four or five coins per dollar. That $25 you spent would get you 100 to 125 coins. Don&#039;t expect rarities but there will be lots of UNC moderns. Once you have been through the junk tubs ask to see the better foreign so you can get familiar with them and know them when you see them again. Enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
