Message:: [QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1227782, member: 6229"]If you've been collecting coins for at least a year you are probably familiar with the following numismatic organizations:　　1.California State Numismatic Association (CSNA)2. American Numismatic Association (ANA)4. Numismatics International (NI)5. International Bank Note Society (IBNS)6. WorldWide Bimetallic Collectors Club (WBCC)7. Northern California Numismatic Association (NCNA)8. Numismatic Association of Southern California (NASC)9. Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of America (CONECA)　　You may be a member of a local coin club or even a state Numismatic organization, but what do you know about a coin collectors group titled Everycountry?　　From their website:　　　[TABLE][TR][TD]"The Everycountry group is a very active forum for advanced world coin collectors who collect one coin per country or per coin issuing authority, A to Z. Members discuss and research coins from different countries, especially unusual or hard-to-find locations. Of particular interest are countries such as Germany, Italy, China, India, Switzerland, and Mexico, which have seen countless coin-issuing authorities over the past several centuries. Our 6,000-line checklist, which is continually being refined and expanded, includes emergency coinage, local coinage, siege coins, and rebel issues. Although we have many international members and often trade or sell coins among themselves, the focus of the Everycountry group is not the trading of circulating coins from different countries and the frequent offering of such coins for sale is discouraged. We have a live online chat session each month and meet annually at the Chicago International Coin Fair. New members are always welcome."[/TD][/TR][/TABLE] 　　Quite an idea, right? Did you already know about the group?　　Well, you know me, I'm always pondering about the what ifs of each new numismatic revelation.　　What various coin collections or themes could be garnered from this concept?　　OR...　　what "collection within a collection" make an Everycountry collection more interesting?　　(all images courtesy of worldcoingallery.com unless noted)　　Here are some variations of the idea with 3 Examples:　　1. Obtain coins dated the sameA. Your birthyear (mine is 1935)i.
