<p>[QUOTE=&quot;karrlot, post: 102718, member: 4476&quot;]I try to get what I call a complete set of a denomination and mm from a country.&nbsp; For example, I have a very large % of german 1,2,5 pfennig coins (post WWII), I want to get complete collections by date/mm. I also have almost complete collection of some denominations of spain from 1975 to the euro, and a lot from 1957-1975(i think those dates are right).&nbsp; I am currently trying to focus on canadian 20th century. Some countries are just too complicated to try to collect a lot from.&nbsp; Great Britton has so many denominations (farthing, pence, shilling, florin, pound, sovergn, crown) that it seems impossible to get them all. </p><p><br /></p><p>While I am concentrating on a set, I keep anything else I come across, and I constantly upgrade if I find a better example of a coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I loose focus on one set and start concentrating on another one from some other country.&nbsp; (ADD has its benifits)</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep my coins in 2x2 cardboard holders, in 20 pocket pages, in 3 ring binders, on a shelf, in a closet, in the hall.&nbsp; I just counted 27 binders.&nbsp; The countries are alphabatized, and then there are some countries that have their own binder (germany has 3).&nbsp; </p><p>The last time I counted them all, I had over 2000 coins from over 100 countries, but i havn&#039;t counted in a long time. </p><p>There are some countries that I want but havn&#039;t come across - Vatican City, Cook Islands, and Hawii are some that I want to get, but don&#039;t have any examples of yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only problem is that I want to trade doubles, but there are so many that it would take so long to get organized, I don&#039;t even try.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a huge box of coins in baggies, tubes, and boxes that I have to hide from my wife.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
