<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 8215705, member: 12789&quot;]For the most part I really don&#039;t collect US coins other than a few Busts, SL dollars and some colonials.&nbsp; I think if I were to analyze what my focus in collecting is it would have to be an attractive and interesting coin with a bit of history behind it. </p><p><br /></p><p>As you noted, I referred to James VIII as a Scottish monarch, not James III as a British monarch.&nbsp; Curiously regnal numbering is an issue still in Scotland even with the current Queen Elizabeth - when the 50th anniversary of her reign in 2002 was commemorated on a Royal Bank £5 note that year she was referred to as Queen Elizabeth - without the regnal II - QEI was never queen of Scotland - but QEI&#039;s cousin&#039;s son did become King of England in 1603 - James VI became James I of England but he was still JVI in Scotland.&nbsp; And thence the Stuart family ruled Britain until 1714 when the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family traipsed over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Part of the problem with my collection is that a lot of it I imaged years ago and don&#039;t think the images meet my standards of imaging now - but I have so much filling up several large safe deposit boxes that I am frankly overwhelmed at the prospect of re-imaging.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
