I collect Morgans and Morgan VAM's. I am currently working on a MS-66 (anyone getting tired of hearing this yet) Minimum Date set of Morgans and also trying to complete a 1878 Morgan VAM set(which consists of well over 200 VAM's in just this one year). before I started my quest for MS66 Morgans I had a pretty good collection already in MS64 (almost 85% of a date set, and close to 45% of a date/mint mark set) so this is a major remodeling job that has been started and probably will not be finished anytime in the near future |

I collect only Australian coins, not because I dislike other coins, it's just that I happen to love Aussie ones.  My son, however, collects world coins, he especially loves U.S.A. and Canadian coins. He also collects tokens, stamps, minerals, and old bank notes.  |

I'm rather simple-minded - I only collect one date.

Recently I've been trying to put together a set of 1965-1998 US quarters in MS66. I keep getting outbid by the registry set crowd who is willing to pay much more than retail for these coins. A few nice coins still slip through the cracks though. I've also been studying up on 18th and 19th century Mexican coins and think I might take the dive soon.

walkers, morgans, and I am a junk silver fiend (halves, quarters & dollars), the more worn the better. Crazy huh ?

not as crazy as the guys who compete for the best PO-1 registry set and get upset if a coin comes back ag-3. (no offense to anybody out there who does this, of course.)

Error and Black-Box coins (US) only. My main collection deals with world coins and specific themes.

I started out with M.S. Morgan from Littleton.$17 and maybe AU,a '21.Three years ago.Then soon after,Coin Vault.4 BU for $100.They're still not worth that.Then I was buying at a coin show every month.Proof and mint sets and a few graded quarters.And a bunch of $5 gold eagles by mail.Constantly told to buy the graded Libs. I did well,nowadays.Gotta tube of'04 silver eagles $145  And I have been buying from the mint.I have learned a lot in the last three years.Did a lot of reading.I figure the more variety ,the better the chance of having things that rise in value.Got my first real collectors coin,a few months ago, that I love '25 1/4 Indian.AU or so (now I know only from Denver that year). Missed out on a lot though like a '28P Peace , nice but dipped,$200 I shoulda. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k...HPIM0208.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k...HPIM0207.jpgEdited by sandpaper

I have collected just about everything you can think of- Something from all major countries., Have collected Major Grt Brt Victorian Type set, COmpleted Victorian Farthing series, Also Panama (complete type set) Set of Mexican type coins-I traded a Mexican gold type set (with a little boot) for a 27 Foot Owens Cabin Cruiser that my family enjoyed for ten years--didn't lose a dime on it when I sold it. All in the albums that they go withl,. Also Major Philippine type set (complete except for one coin) But my real interest now lies in Ancient Coinages- I love the histories- The other major effort I have collected is Great Britain Conder Tokens- (Now there is real fun here- and still affordable for many many nice coins. None of this is intended as a brag- It is just that I have been at it for a long long time- since 1952- and I can tell you- Coins do appreciate in value- If that would be what you are thinking of- But the best part is the hunt- The athestic and the knowledge gained- Also through coin clubs the many many nice people(for the most part) that you meet.
