<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2377956, member: 71338"]I seem to collect all over the place: several countries, series within countries, type coins or beautiful ones, silver coins, zinc, aluminum, pure nickel bullion ones, copper bullion, graded wonders, FAO, and I'm probably forgetting more. In addition to hearing about your collecting tastes, within world coins what is your broadest category of collecting. For me, it would seem to be 20th century coins. I have some older or more modern, but the large majority fall into the 20th century. This is just a fascinating period; we had world war 1 and 2, the end of silver coinage, increase in countries and designs, improvements (and some might argue the opposite) in minting, etc. Also, the number of coins are plentiful in many cases, and tons were saved. Lastly, 20th century coins are very affordable if tastes are broad like mine. I'm asking these questions because I wonder if it's normal to collect like me, or do world collectors focus more on a few countries or something. Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
