<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chrysta Wilson, post: 1053, member: 25&quot;]I&#039;m not sure if I am really asking the question the right way, but I guess I mean what interests you about specific things you collect? </p><p><br /></p><p>I collect wheat cents because that&#039;s what got me started, and darn it, I will finish that set someday if it kills me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really can&#039;t say for sure what got me into Mercury dimes. I like the design, and it is an obsolete coin, but most dates are quite affordable. Affordable is a big issue with me.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I started a type set because I have such a hard time making a decision about what to focus on, so this was a way not to have to decide...I can collect one of everything!</p><p><br /></p><p>My world coin collection is much the same...I try to get as many different kinds of coins as I can. I like the idea of having stuff from all over the world. Usually one to a country, although if I read about a certain area of the world or a historical period, I want something associated with it....which brings me to things I don&#039;t collect but would like to:</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to collect Roman Republic coinage, because I&#039;ve done some reading about the later part of the Republic, and it would be so cool to have stuff that circulated during that era.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another area that interests is politcal tokens such as Hard Times and Political CWTs...I would want to do a lot more reading about the stories behind the tokens, and particularly the origins of the slogans on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Classic commmems interest me, but are mostly too expensive for me. I don&#039;t like all of them though, which might make it a little easier...I wouldn&#039;t feel the need to complete a set.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s more, but I think I&#039;ve gone on long enough...I just was interested in what gets a person into, say, Franklins, or Bust coinage, or whatever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
