Yeah Osborne can be a tough signature in a better grade. You have to stick with it, the deals will come. I'm working on the French notes at the moment, prices are steeper than I like, but I like the notes, so it's all fair :)

Nickel dollars and small cents for me. I too am eyeing up some foreign coins, I particularly like the 1, 2 and 5 Ore coins from Sweden (1952-1971 series). Something about those incuse designs in mint state condition, that draws me in...

No offense to your collecting, SilverBug, but I would never consider bullion rounds to be "coins". They are a store of value in my eyes with very definite prices that are not truly controlled by supply and demand, and in this sense they seem artificial to me. Would you ever send them in to be graded? No, only placed on the scale to determine value.

A complete set of small cents, a complete set of 5c (post-1921). A set of the four 1858 coins with the requirement that all coins have outstanding toning. A complete set of mule coins. A complete set of PL ultra cameo coins, all denominations 1961-1975, with coins earlier than 1961 being added at will but with no real goal of completion. I also like to cherry pick key dates from each series to make a quasi-type set that is not so daunting to complete as a full all denomination set with every single date.

I have a short type set of large Canadian silver dollars '36 to '67. Quite interesting. I am after the '35.

I have set the bar high....all of the circulating coinage from 1858 - Date. Concentrating on all years for now, and varieties when they present themselves. 1 Cent are complete, 8 more to go on the nickles (obvisouly the 1921 will wait for a bit lol!). The rest of denom. are complete from date back to 1967 and certain ones back to the 30's. Condition not too important for now...just want the holes filled!

I am closing in on completing a set of Canadian cents. At the same time I'm learning and working to identify the variety of a number of my Large Cents.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as stevex6 with my collection. I also have worked on American 1, 5, 25, 50 and one dollar coins and have recently purchased some Euros from the different countries.
