@e&v, is this the start of a OFEC collection for you or a one-off addition? Either way, it's a beaut!

Spence, what does OFEC mean? I might collect more of them at some point.

Ok sorry yikes. Sorry about the use of jargon. First the frog called me out on my use of exergue, and now this. Probably means it's time for me to think about going to bed.

OFEC = "one from every country". The Bailiwick of Jersey is one of those places that not a ton of tourists visit, but it is a popular place for numismatists to purchase a coin so that they can add a new country to their collection list.


From the CCF Glossary:


Quote:
OFEC
Short for one from every country. Some coin collectors try to make a set containing a coin from every country. Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, for example.

I have more of these. If anyone is interested in one (or a second, Errers), drop me a DM. US only, unfortunately.
