<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 2559, member: 283&quot;]Nope....you&#039;re far from being the only ones who collect `foreign&#039; coins. I got bored with collecting `Brit&#039; coins a few years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I only collect `foreign&#039; coins (from circa 750 BC to present time). </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the US, these days my purchase of US coins is more or less limited to the 20th century $1/2 commemoratives (my favourite being The Oregon Trail). I have a few 1820 -1836 bust half dollars, a good few Morgans by date and mm, all of the peace dollars by date and mm...and a thousand or so different (date and mm that is) other US coins from half cents to proof sets and bullion coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like buffalo nick&#039;s, and standing liberty quarters in particular although the latter aren&#039;t half as neat as the UK&#039;s standing Britannia florins of 1902 -1910 during the reign of Edward VII. The walking liberty 1/2&#039;s are also pretty neat, but I prefer the French design by Oscar Roty (La Semeuse) on the french silver 1/2, 1, and 2 francs of the late 19th - early 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>My current interest in `foreign&#039; coins is French coinage from 1540&#039;s - 1870&#039;s and also silver jetons from the same period. These days i&#039;m more interested in collecting the silver jetons than I am the coins......for me, it&#039;s a fascinating subject area.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
