If I liked Germany I would try to get one from each state; same for Italy and india. If I went after switzerland I would seek each canton. I like rome so I have a low grade type collection going for emperors. When I start on Greece I&#039;ll try to get each city state. I like every country that issued cash style coins and am working on emporer sets. My collection is not advanced. Most minor coins come from junk boxes and bulk lots. I get almost all my silver for melt or less. I like endless limits because I like to always have something to look for. If I put limits on it I would complete it. Once it is complete there is no reason not to sell it and go do something else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
