<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xphobe, post: 2390601, member: 73453&quot;]I am doing something similar, although I am not going for certified.&nbsp; In fact, it surprises me how many of us there are pursuing the same goal.&nbsp; Poster gxseries above is a good friend of mine as well as a challenging auction competitor (he won the Kweichow antimony coin although I eventually did end up finding another one).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have the 100 Mark Conradty Notgeld.&nbsp; It is the only one of the set of three that is small enough in diameter to fit in a holder, although it is 5mm thick so that might be a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you say &quot;circulating coins&quot;, you will pass up some interesting non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) commemorative issues such as the Cameroon 750 CFA in cobalt-plated steel, or the bimetallic silver/tantalum coins from Kazakhstan. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the TPGs will holder some medals.&nbsp; I know I could get my Fred Zinkann tungsten Eagle pattern certified if I wanted to.&nbsp; NGC seems to holder pretty much anything that is metallic and round.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen a &quot;Boyd&#039;s Battery&quot; in an NGC holder <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some of my collection, which might give you some ideas.&nbsp; I also have all of Dave Hamric&#039;s (Metallium) medals to date, but they&#039;re definitely not circulating coins as some of them would immediately oxidize to powder if freed from their protective ampoules!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/xphobe?page=1&amp;sort=year&amp;sale=0&amp;country=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/xphobe?page=1&amp;sort=year&amp;sale=0&amp;country=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/xphobe?page=1&amp;sort=year&amp;sale=0&amp;country=0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
