<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 17047, member: 112&quot;]Well rick, I&#039;ve been collecting coins since 1960. And since day one I have done it just the way you described that you do it. Now for the first 42 yrs or so it was 99% US. Today - it is 100% world coinage. But never once have I bought a coin just to fill a hole in an album. As a matter of fact - I haven&#039;t used an album since I was about 10. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really collect sets and have no desire to do so - with one exception. I hope someday to complete a date set of Netherlands ducats. And that&#039;s primarily because to the best of my knowledge it has never been done. Besides - it&#039;s one of my favorite designs&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I am also very fond of French Royal coinage - in particular the gold. I also collect a nice ECU (silver) if I find one that appeals to me. But I have no intention of trying to complete a set - now or ever. And if I find a gold coin from just about any nation that appeals to me - I buy it. I may own only one from that country and may never buy another. Then again I might - if it strikes my fancy to do so&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>So if that makes me an amateur then I am one. I reckon I&#039;m in good company&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
