<p>[QUOTE="karrlot, post: 97422, member: 4476"]I collect by country/denomination/date. Over the course of the last 2-3 years I have purchased four of those bags (22lbs each). I've never purchased the smaller lots - but I can only assume they are the same coins just not as many. IMO they are a great way to start a world collection - and a big one at that. I keep my coins in 2x2 cardboard holders in 20 pocket pages in binders. For example I've got 3 - 1.5" binders for germany. I am close to a complete set of 1pfennig coins by date/mintmark. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have thousands of coins from over a hundred countries.
