Do You Collect Coins In Series?

I'm collecting all denominations, all possible years of all US coins. Possibly the only coin I'm not interested in lately is the Liberty Head Nickel. Otherwise whatever I see that I like.

Definitely not series collecting for me - sounds dreadfully dull :)

I m collecting a date-set but I know I'm in way over my head on prices for some of the dates.

I collect world coins by type and don't care about dates. There are some exceptions which are interesting in other way like dots after date (Canada) or different fonts and surroundings. When collecting by types there are usually cheap dates in different series to acquire - no worry about rare dates!

Boy ima all over the place. Mind u, my interest in coins is solely silver and gold proofs, starting at 1 oz and I;ll do the fractionals as well.

I been trying to stick with certain governments. Now granted some may say how boring, like if you are buying proof gold eagles, well all that changes is the year lol. Same with Silver Eagles

But, like say, Mexico Libertads... they have fractionals. I have skipped the fractional pieces and instead only stuck with the 1 oz proof. The silver Britannia's also come in fractionals via their proof set. Now there I would make an exception and am now leaning at collecting besides the BU and proof Britannia, getting the annual proof silver set, even tho 99% of my 1 oz silver coins are either BU or Proof.

So I mean ima all over the place.. I wanna stay with a series and type.. but I have decided that I want to be flexible.

Same thing happened to me with the China panda silver. I cant get a proof each year of a Panda, because a 1 oz proof panda doesn't exist for every year with the same image as the BU version. Sure, they might release a medal (proof) and they have a 5 oz proof but there's no issue of a proof version of their BU panda 1 oz silver coin.

So, as a compromise, I am going to get a sheet of Pandas since I cant get a nice 1 oz proof :D I know it sounds weird but I do this with my collection to keep things flexible and varied. :D

All of my collection consists entirely of pieces acquired as individuals, covering the whole of issued coinage from all cultures over 2,500 years. I have have made an effort to generalise my collection, not specialise it.
As such, my collection attracts interest from people who may have no numismatic interest themselves, but can appreciate the role of coinage in the development of World history.

There ARE one or two other collectors here in the CCF, who collect in this way, and have extensive collections, built up over decades.

I'm just passionate about coins! I would love a collection of every type, sub-type, year from any and every country in the world. I don't have any gold coins but have a few silver. But a complete collection of that type just isn't within my financial scope.
For me it is the sheer joy of coming across, say, a German one pfennig 1987J which I did not have in my collection as much as a British colonial silver Indian 1 rupee 1926.

I collected serie's for a long time and have about 25-30 completed Dansco albums. I started to get jaded though and switched to currency in area's that can't be completed just to keep from being bored. I am also trying do a type set similar to a 7070 but all NGC or PCGS slabbed.
