<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joesmom, post: 48606, member: 934&quot;]I haven&#039;t started one of these threads in a while and it&#039;s always fun to hear what everyone is up to&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>What kinds of collections is everyone currently working on?&nbsp; I think it&#039;s a great way to open our eyes to items of interest that we may have otherwise overlooked.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start....</p><p><br /></p><p>STILL worlking on my date set of Morgans.&nbsp; I only have 5 holes to fill and 2 to upgrade...almost there!&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve dipped my toes into the waters of French gold (thanks GD&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and will probably add to that when the right one comes along.&nbsp; Half of the fun is in the hunt!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been having a ton of fun with a Dansco Type Set album.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to fill it with dates that are significant to me personally (birthyears etc) where I can, and in the spots I can&#039;t I add 100 years if possible.&nbsp; For example I chose an 1897 IHC for Joe&#039;s birthyear + 100 years.&nbsp; It&#039;s been a great learning experience as I&#039;ve been researching each type before I make any purchases.&nbsp; The Bowers Type Set Redbook came out just as I began this endeavor...thank goodness as it&#039;s been immensely helpful!</p><p><br /></p><p>My 1997 bullion set for Joe is coming along nicely.&nbsp; Although I think I&#039;ve almost exhausted all of the possible additions I can make to this.&nbsp; Now I may add other interesting (world &amp; US) pieces to it (possibly commems, world currency, etc) and have thought about doing the 100 year thing with this collection as well.&nbsp; Who knows, maybe I&#039;ll come across one of them purdy gold angels dated 1897 to add to this one&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve slowly begun dabbling with Walkers as well.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always loved these but unfortunately they have taken a back seat to the type set lately.&nbsp; But not for <i>too </i> much longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course we cannot forget about Joe&#039;s ever-growing collection of world coins.&nbsp; His favorites being anything odd-shaped.&nbsp;&nbsp; He currently has 2 large binders containing more than 180 different countries...Fun Stuff!</p><p><br /></p><p>Those have been my primary pursuits lately...what are yours?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
