<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2583428, member: 71642&quot;]Well, I&#039;ve thought of this...I have a full euro one I obtained as a complete set from someone else and like it as a memento of living in Europe--didn&#039;t really want to put a set together myself, so it&#039;s just something nice for the shelf in a slipcover. </p><p><br /></p><p>The two companion sets are a US 7070 which I add to very sporadically.&nbsp; I never did decide what US coins to collect other than a type set, so that is what I work on.&nbsp; When/if it&#039;s ever complete I will likely look at it with a more critical eye and decide if it&#039;s worthy of upgrades.&nbsp; I like the US type set so it will also stay on the shelf.</p><p><br /></p><p>My prize treasure is a third Dansco, the Japan Type set.&nbsp; I put some decent coins it in, but as Japan coins are my true &#039;love&#039; I started collecting nicer ones.&nbsp; Too nice for a Dansco (or too reactive a metal--think aluminum and tin for the wartime issues).&nbsp; My solution was to make a &#039;mirror set&#039; using slabbed coins that I set up as a custom NGC registry.&nbsp; The type set there has now expanded into a ton of date sets, variety collections etc, but the core of it was the Dansco.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I may or may not ever find another Dansco to work on and if I do then I will add it to my book shelf with the others.&nbsp; They sit with my numismatic &#039;book treasures&#039; and fit right in.&nbsp; I can pull them out and look at them which isn&#039;t too much different than looking at my slabs or raw coins (in binders).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I see no reason to dispose of them, but then I am a bit of a dragon and want to hoard my treasures.&nbsp; I like flipping through them once in awhile (instead of being a Scrooge McDuck and taking a flying nosedive into a big pile of coins...).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
