[QUOTE="joesmom, post: 28932, member: 934"]Hi all! I thought that with all of the new members here, it would be nice to hear what everyone is in the process of doing with their collection. What holes are you trying to fill, what is it that you're currently trying to complete? I'll start.... I am one of the many Morgan fans out there. I've only got a couple more to go to complete a date run, including the keys, before I'll go back and start upgrading some of my current holdings. I've always been drawn to Walking Liberty halves...the modest beginnings that I have from my father, coupled with some beautiful recent additions (thanks ND ;) ) have sparked a desire to start on a run of these beauties as well. I'm fascinated with silver 3 cent pieces. I've researched them but have had no luck so far in finding pieces that fit my criteria AND budget...oh well, some day. I've been working on a bullion/special set of anything dated 1997 (Joe's birthyear). Joe knows pretty much all of what I have with the exception of this little stash. Someday after his daddy & I are gone this will be a nice little surprise for him to find. All of the above makes up the bulk of my interest. But when it comes to Joe, he likes that darkside stuff! We've accumulated quite an impressive collection of various world coins...but far and away his favorites are the ones that are odd-shaped, squares and triangles in particular. It seems that he's rubbing off on me as I quite enjoy them also...and that I'm rubbing off on him, at the last coin show he carefully shopped for and bought his own very first Morgan (with his own allowance, he's quite the haggler with a pretty good eye).
