<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 2780089, member: 69089&quot;]I&#039;m envious . . .

Mostly nice UNC examples, but still just inexpensive modern base metal coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>He went off to college and lost interest, and I had no interest in completing it myself, so one day I went through all 200 or so coins and picked out about a dozen that struck my fancy — coins I&#039;d like to have based on their own individual merits, not because they filled a hole for Zimbabwe or Slovenia or Vanuatu. The rest got shipped off to nephews and nieces and a couple of neighbors&#039; kids.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to admit, it was rather exhilarating, and I&#039;m hoping to repeat the process some day soon with the US type set I know I&#039;m never going to complete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
