<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7648922, member: 101855&quot;]You goals are very broad, but perhaps after you start to collect some of what you covered above, you will find a series or a theme that interests you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a born U.S. citizen. I started collecting Lincoln cents when I was 10 years old. I didn&#039;t stay with them that long. I eventually moved to Indian Cents, and U.S. type coins, which one example of each major design that the U.S. government has issued from 1792 to date. The Indian Cents fell by the wayside after I completed the set when I was in my early 20s, but the type coin interest remained.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very interested in history and politics. I continued to collect that type coins until I finished the U.S. set about nine years ago. Now the U.S. Mint issues too many coins. I can&#039;t keep up with them so my type coin set is mostly frozen at circa 2012.</p><p><br /></p><p>Along the way I started collecting roughly one coin for each British king I or queen. I am back to Alfred the Great with a few kings missing up to Queen Elizabeth II. Of late I have taken an interest in the Roman Emperors from Julius Caesar to ? The late emperors get complicated and expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see the hobby is endless. I was a coin dealer for a while. I collect when I enjoy and like to share my research here, at my local club (until the pandemic) and in an occasional magazine article. It keeps me occupied in my old age.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know have I covered a lot of material, and that&#039;s not all of it, but the time span has been over 60 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
