<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 8352083, member: 22377&quot;]Welcome to ddddd&#039;s ccc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As some might have seen (and if you haven&#039;t, check it out in the link below) I&#039;m building a set of coins from the former Soviet nations. There are a few self set rules: the coin has to be post 1991 (fall of the Soviet Union), silver, and slabbed. The rules have already been slightly altered as my last addition was not slabbed (second link below since it&#039;s not yet in the composite thread).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-composite-thread.388233/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-composite-thread.388233/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-composite-thread.388233/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-moldova.394741/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-moldova.394741/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ddddd-ex-soviet-nations-set-moldova.394741/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The current issue (as can happen with any set) is finding the rest of the coins. There are only a few &quot;easier&quot; countries left (Latvia and Lithuania) but I haven&#039;t found the right example of either (given there is some variety, I want a design I like). The rest are harder to find. I&#039;ve been debating between two recently, Turkmenistan and Georgia, but there are some holdups with each. First of all, both are pricey. One is over $250 (it is graded). The other is closer to $200 (still pricey) but also isn&#039;t graded. </p><p><br /></p><p>Something else I have debated is expanding the scope of the set. I&#039;ve recently bid on coins from Poland and Bulgaria (both of which one can make a strong argument that they fit alongside the set, especially since I have an &quot;add-ons&quot; section). </p><p><br /></p><p>So for now I continue the hunt with all options on the table. If anyone has any suggestions, thoughts, or similar experiences please feel free to share.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
