<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 48608, member: 1235&quot;]My primary goal is working on spanish empire and colonial pieces.&nbsp; Ever since I turned toward this direction, I have felt my interest growing more and more with my collection.&nbsp; I have decided to look into other pieces from this same time, but I haven&#039;t worked out all the details on that yet.&nbsp; There is something pleasing to me about having a coin from this period, because this period of time seems almost tied to silver and gold production.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Right now, I still haven&#039;t decided HOW I will even build the collection I have begun already.&nbsp; I pick up pieces that interest me, here and there, but I haven&#039;t decided whether I should build the collection by year, denomination or colony of origin, or even mint mark or assayers.&nbsp; At this point, I&#039;m all over the board, but I have tried to gather an example from as many different colonies as possible.&nbsp; Each denomination can have it&#039;s own particular appeal - I have mostly 1 or 2 reales, a few halfs, with the 1 real being my favorite.&nbsp; I have no 4 or even 8 pieces (8, I think, is the most popular - although I have heard that 2 is the most collected, and 4 is the most rare - I don&#039;t really know).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
