Message:: [QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 3028316, member: 93888"]Hi all, as some of you have already read I'm trying to get a little more serious with my coin collecting.  It's largely been putting together sets in folders with a few exceptions for most of my life but I'd like to move past that and get some nice pieces and narrow my scope a bit.  Right now I have unfinished sets of practically all 20th and 21st century US coins sans a few of the early dimes and nickels. While I still have interest in completing my sets from circulated pieces I'd like to focus a bit more on slowly acquiring more closely related coins, Themes for example.  While I'm quite familiar with the common US coins of the past 100-200 years I really just don't know what else is out there for coins that were not released for circulation or perhaps coins from other countries.  My red book has been great thus far in learning about some things I didn't know about.  However, I was sort of inspired by a listing I saw of Ship themed coins and it got me to thinking, I wonder what sort of themed coins are out that I might be interested in. I'm aware of collection themes such as 1 coin from every country, or of certain era's, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Ship example I gave.  I dunno, just trying to brainstorm and see what's out there, it's hard to sift through thousands of listings to see what may or may not exist.[/QUOTE]
