<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2377981, member: 39&quot;]Being in Europe and the euro area, I focus on pieces from around here. Mostly circulation and commemorative coins though, hardly any Ag/Au collector coins. Since the euro was &quot;born&quot; at the beginning of 1999, pretty much every coin in that collection is a 21st century piece. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But I do have quite a few &quot;older modern&quot; (20c/21c) coins, from Germany where I am, from the UK, the US or Switzerland for example. In my opinion one &quot;gets lost&quot; without some (at least vague) collection focus - too many coins to consider. Then there is the budget issue. I like traveling, and that needs to be paid for too ...</p><p><br /></p><p>In case you may have to sell (parts of) your collection at some point - then do not collect &quot;modern world&quot; if you are in the US. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Otherwise, collect what you want, but it would still make sense to concentrate on selected aspects such as certain countries, metals, designs, etc. Maybe having a look at your current collection and deciding what you enjoy most could help?</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
