<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 2548897, member: 82414&quot;]Well, I&#039;m (finally) finished cataloging my world coins! I hope it&#039;s OK to post my collection here, because I wanted to share it with everyone. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I used Numista as my &quot;go-to&quot; reference website. Please forgive me for any errors or mis-categorizing any coins, as I&#039;m totally new to this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t taken any photos yet. That will come next, and only of the more interesting ones (as well as ones I have questions on). Will post those here in my thread as they get finished.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attached pdf is just an Excel list that I put together of all my coins, with each page being a different country.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some statistics:</p><p><br /></p><p>382 coins total</p><p>378 inherited from my grandfather</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 received as change recently</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 received as a gift from my wife</p><p><br /></p><p>2003 is the newest coin</p><p>1919 is the oldest coin</p><p><br /></p><p>25 Countries represented (does not include any USA)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have questions about a few, but they&#039;ll be separate threads.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these coins (well, except for 4) were kept in a plastic jar, in a toolbox, in the basement of my grandparents&#039; house. Two labels made of multiple rows of masking tape written in ink by my grandfather were on the jar and lid. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lid reads:</p><p>Coins from</p><p>around the world</p><p>for D. P. Mooney</p><p>Keep</p><p><br /></p><p>And the side of the jar reads:</p><p>8-12-83</p><p>Coins from all</p><p>over the world</p><p>for D. P. Mooney</p><p>Keep</p><p>Do not spend</p><p>maybe valueable</p><p>When he grows up</p><p>give to him after I am not here</p><p><br /></p><p>I received the jar from my grandmother after my grandfather passed away from cancer in 1989. I have looked at a few coins in the past but never &quot;got into&quot; all of it until now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you enjoyed looking at my collection (although it&#039;s &quot;text-only&quot; for now). Thanks for looking. Photos to follow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
