    Which coins do you keep that are outside of your main collection theme ? I sold more than 150 crowns to fund my new collection theme of multiple denomination silver coins but couldnt let myself to sell these 4 coins.

    Show me your coins you still keep that are out of your main collection area.

    My collection isn't very focused. There are a few areas that I am consistently looking to add to but I feel like I collect everything non-US. That said, these few pieces were impulse purchases that don't really make sense.

    Like the OP said, I would purchase them again in a heartbeat.

    That's easy

    1 is a random object

    2 are related objects

    3 or more are a small collection


    Never dis your small collections, just promote objects to collections by.... wait for it... buying one or two more like them!

    I don't really have a main collection theme, but the coins outside of my main collection are mostly those that were in use in various European countries (Croatia, Italy, Germany, Austria, etc.) before the introduction of the euro, plus some Croatian commemorative coins, such as this one from 1997 commemorating Croatia joining the United Nations in 1992:

    Here are two coins I just purchased that are outside my normal collecting efforts. I just found them fascinating and plan to learn more about their history. Both are rupees from India.

    Sorry but I don’t like male angels. Great coins. 1561 was a bad position for the date.

    My main collecting theme is anything related to the Protestant Reformation, but I absolutely love city-view thalers. It is an expensive side quest, so it has been awhile since I've added any to the accumulation.
