<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1660096, member: 4373&quot;]Inspired by a collector called Jim Rugh who collects coins and medals in various elements, I decided to give this set a go. This set would only include coins that were issued (no private mint tokens / medals). Personally I didn&#039;t think it was that hard other than it being expensive as you would include precious metals in it as well. Turns out I was quite wrong! While I bought all of my precious metals many years ago when gold was 700 dollars and silver at 5 dollars (yes it was that long ago), there was just one element that remained illusive for many many years. This element is antimony.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/994973.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m missing coins struck in these three elements: manganese,&nbsp; titanium, niobium. I figured I can get them any time as there are plenty of examples floating around - except I don&#039;t quite agree with the prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my couple other favourites:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956742.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/941461.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hunting these coins might have made me a metal head but I think it made me appreciate how different metals were used for various reasons whether it&#039;s economical reasons, marketing ploy, novelty and such. Maybe this might spark an interest in you in doing a similar set?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
