<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xCoin-Hoarder&#039;92x, post: 2384009, member: 72758&quot;]Compared to me, your collecting habits are quite normal I&#039;d say. Lately I&#039;ve been flat out hoarding (x10!). I think I&#039;ve reached the 250,000 - 300,000 coins mark so far <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Just about all of my purchases are raw (no 2x2 coins, slabbed, paged), all loose in huge bags lol</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have my silver morgan dollars all tubed up, no worries here. But last couple years I&#039;ve had some sort of an ebay fever on buying any pre-euro Dutch/French/Aruba etc, and some Mexican Pesos mixed in (currency type stuff).</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;60,000 Netherlands coins (mostly .999 nickel types)</p><p>&gt;40,000 France coins (mostly .999 nickel types)</p><p>&gt;3,000 Aruba coins (difficult to find in coin shops, I only find these on ebay)</p><p>&gt;1,000 Antilles coins (also hard to find locally)</p><p>&gt;3,000 Austria coins (apparently these are all still exchangeable?)</p><p>&gt;25,000 Mexico coins (modern, from Nuevo &gt; current day Pesos, did I mention I love bi-metal coins??)</p><p><br /></p><p>And lots of other untold coins that make up my quarter million count... Some Italy/Belgium/Germany/Spain, etc. And i still have lots of Canadian Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first I never really planned on &quot;investing&quot; in .999 nickel coins, but as the nickel prices keep dropping, I have been increasingly considering it to be investment rather than a simple collection. Isn&#039;t nickel $3.80 / lb right now? That&#039;s cheap. I remember it being multiple times that price just a couple years ago. I look forward to what it will do next.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just yesterday I found someone from the UK on ebay listing a giant Netherlands bulk lot (1100 x 1 Gulden, 1800 x 25 Cent, 1900 x 10 Cent) all for dirt cheap prices. Of course I messaged the seller about different shipping options so I won&#039;t lose my shirt on having it delivered to my door. I snapped these lots up as soon as I noticed them. I very rarely ever see a person listing this many Dutch coins all at once. Happens maybe once or twice a year?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
