<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3406851, member: 84179"]If you get to coin shows or shops, you can usually find these cheap in the foreign pick boxes. Make a list of the dates you have and put it on your phone (or make a hardcopy like us old guys) so you have it on hand. Then you can start putting together a date set just like Lincoln Cents or Jeff. Nickels. You’ll be able to find a lot of diff dates. </p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago, I started doing this for a few selected foreign series and now have nice sets of German (1873-1945), Canadian, Australian, Ireland, and others. Eventually, you get to the point where you have to spend some bucks to buy the better dates, but you can usually acquire the common ones easily and cheaply. Something to consider if you’re looking for an interesting collecting topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
