<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 900641, member: 19456&quot;]I love doing world coins by the pound! I can&#039;t afford to do it often, so far I&#039;ve only done it twice. If I could afford it I&#039;d do a pound a week. (where I would store all these coins I have no idea!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This past Christmas, I recieved three pounds of assorted world coins. I got over 200 new coins for my collection, and I got 17 new countries. (I currently have 100 total countries or issuers in my collection!) For example if a country changes names I list it as two seperate places. Malaya and Malaysia for example...I have one coin from each, it&#039;s the same basic country, just changed names and ruling style. But, since the name is different, it counts as two countries in my collection. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of those 100 countries in my collection, I would say probably 70 to 75 of them would not be in my collection if not for buying just two simple world bulk lots. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since I love everything I don&#039;t mind it being heavy in something. If I can build a date run, that just makes it better! And any duplicates become my trade stash (although I have not made any trades yet). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first batch I did was heavy on British, the second was heavy on South Korean. I really enjoy the British coinage so I thought that was great, and for the South Korean my collection went from one coin, that came in the first batch, up to 16 in one day! I am not building date sets of modern British two new pence and South Korean 100 won <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
