Commems those look absolutely amazing. The Royal Mint did a fantastic job with those. They will have to be added to the list. Thank you for sharing and for all your help even if it means my wallet will be a lot easier to carry around  |

So apparently I couldnt even last a week before expanding my set to include other WWII coins  After canceling my final orders for the SF ASE sets I had some funds freed up and couldnt pass up a Tanks of WWII set from the Perth Mint. http://www.gainesvillecoins.com/pro...coinset.aspxThe D-Day series is still alive and well despite the detour, just hoping to locate some US stores that carry those coins before jumping into the international market. Someone really needs to put parental controls on my internet to keep me off coins stores |

That is going to be a really nice set. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Now that could be a lot of fun. Once that is done, you should start one for the occupied territory issues. |

And of course that will spin off into former USSR countries, colonial issues, an east and west german set, might as well throw some precommunist cuba in there just since I might have some room left in the garage at that point |

That sounds like it could be a big garage. You might want to add a Euro collection to fill in the cracks. |

Sorry about the delayed response I had to pick up some supplies from home depot The sad part is some of those do sound like fun sets to do as a one coin from each but Id be scared itd turn into something more. I have always wanted a 1776 colonial coin though so at least that one will hopefully happen |
