Back when I was 10 or 11, I started off in the hobby building an Icelandic coins of the 20th century set. I quickly lost interest in collecting and my father held onto the coins. Since getting back into the hobby some 25 years later, I was asking about those Icelandic coins and if he knew where they had gone. On Christmas, I was given my collection. It was probably the best gift I have been given in quite some time. I am now going to spend my energy to complete the set concentrating on the 1922 to 1942 coins first. Anyone else collecting Icelandic coins? -Steve
I'm not going out of my way to collect them, but I did get a bunch of Icelandic coins in a bulk world lot that I got for Christmas. Most of them are modern issues, though. Eventually, I'd like to work backwards and complete the set, though.
i also think i have a few modern coins from Iceland,maybe a note or two. But i wont be concentrating on collecting the entire set... not any time soon anyway. can you post pictures of some of the coins?
