<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1048012, member: 19065&quot;]<i>I know the contest is now closed to new entries</i> but I had another idea for your consideration. </p><p><br /></p><p>Based on your year of birth, build a collection based on that year/number for a unique collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>Born 1950: Seek a set of 50 coins from 1950, perhaps in AU50 grades, or that cost a current maximum value of $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>Born 1905: I doubt you fall into this category but If you were born in a year with a small number, you could try to build a high grade set of 5 coins and devote a lot of budget to each coin being the best for your money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the higher your birth year/number, the larger your set can be and I&#039;d suggest not limiting the set to just US coins but to also include world coins, all from the same year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps in any of these sets you could seek only copper or only silver or only clad coins issued in your year of birth. This gets harder after a certain point in time when the only precious metals in coins moved to special issues and away from business strikes and collector version coin currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>There seems to be many angles to play this &quot;birth-year collection&quot; to define it to your personal tastes, so by no means are my suggestions limited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
