[QUOTE="JFRTM, post: 7648850, member: 121149"]Hi all, My first post here. I am new to the hobby and looking for some advice to point me in the right direction. I've decided that my focus will be on world coins as I like variety in design. I guess I am not the one to limit myself to one country and then collect a series of years of one coin. 'World coins' however is a broad term so I tried to narrow it down and have some basic ideas: * Coins by design features like a hole in the middle, birds only, plants only etc. * European coins of the interbellum 1919-1938. * European post-war, pre-euro coins 1946-2001 * World coins for my year of birth 1979. * 21st century European coins but non-euro. * eBay surprise coins. Just buy what is available and what I like. What do you guys think of the above? And do you have better suggestions? What strategy did you start out with? Last but not least I am 42 year old Dutch guy looking for fun. Good quality circulation coins that can be had for an honest price will do. I am not in it with an idea of reselling later to make money nor am I one that cares a whole lot about high grade stuff. If it looks pleasing to eye, that is good enough for me. Thanks for reading![/QUOTE]
