<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 145513, member: 4552"]I'm just a collector of everything. Due to medical reasons I am cutting down on stuff to collect. As to coins I collect individual coins, type sets, albums, proof sets, uncirc sets in USA type coins. I have boxes of foreign coins that I mostly have no idea of what they are. I've been putting them in 2x2's for many years. The type of work I used to do had people from all over the world and I would always ask if they had any coins from their country and usually they would jsut give them to me. By weight there is probably about a hundred pounds of them and as I said most of them I don't even know what they are. For some reason people in other countries do not put English wording on thier coins. You would think think they would be more considerate. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> However, I think what I like best is to try to complete an album. I have almost every Whitman Classic Album made and mostly they are all full. Example is 10 sets of Lincolns, 8 sets of Mercury Dimes, etc., etc. </p><p>However, I don't stop at coins. I collect stamps, flashlights, cameras and camera equipment, knives, swords, spears, blow guns, archery items, Lincoln Logs, outdoor windmills, concrete rabbits for my yard, etc. I'm just a collector like a pack rat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
