I'm like fistful in regards to I've basically stopped collecting gold and silver bullion. As for coin collecting my collection is strictly Canadian coins. One Coin per year, each denomination from 1858 to date. It's a slow moving process but I enjoy when I get to dabble. 1953 to date I look for MS, 1919-52 in XF-AU and everything before 1919 I'm trying to get in at least F-VF. I probably will never complete this task but that doesn't stop me from trying to put my set together. My daughter (13) has slowly been showing interest so perhaps she may be the one to take it through the finish line.

Any US coins. Mainly pennies (anything to do with them) though. |

I collect Guldens (from The Netherlands), 20 Franc French gold coins, and a couple of months ago started a 19th Century US Type Set.

Like many collectors from the US, I collected mainly circulation finds as a kid. Wheat pennies were the more commonly found classic coins in the early 80s, when I was most into coin collecting back then. Got back into it in early 2000s focusing on G/S modern commemoratives. Finally started gravitating to classic US coinage again maybe 5 years ago, with some dabbling in Walking Liberty Halfs and Standing Liberty quarters and other generally low grade classic coinage. Took a step back, read a LOT and decided to focus on one series that really resonated with me aesthetically: Mercury dimes! Now mainly just interested in branch mint mercs from the teens and twenties in AU or thereabouts with original surfaces, natural toning, good strikes, etc. This criteria provides quite a challenge as many Denver and Frisco issues are just rare enough to take sufficient time to find really nice original specimens. I usually pick up less than a handful of coins per year. |

I am an OFEC** typesetter.
** C= Culture and / or Century, covering the whole of numismatics.  this my OFEC started following numista's "rules" but changed slightly. now at 300 it has gone from 300 (numista criteria) to a lowly 221... but that is because I have multiple entries for entities such as Japan, 1 for feudal, 1 for pre WWII and 1 for post WWII (same for Germany and a few others). I could likely build a "true" OFEC of 300 but I choose not to include fantasy issues such as the "British Antarctic Territory" Other than my OFEC 300 I am heavily invested in pre 1858 Canadian Colonial Tokens |

I have things I collect specifically but will take any world coin I find (seems to not be an uncommon approach).

Mostly Aussie coins. Circulating and non circulating. My Nanny has given me many world coins in the last year. So, I'm becoming more interested in world coinage. I have also started showing more interest in silver and this is damaging my cash savings goals  |

I consider myself to be a "whatever strikes my fancy at the moment" collector. lol I try to focus but that only lasts so long. I have a complete 1 from every century set going back to 400BC, 1 full unc date/mm of SBA, 2 nearly complete date/mm unc LMC, 1 nearly complete d/mm of UNC Jeffs and a 5050 that is about half complete. I also have a sizable collection of US Admin of the philippines, Republic of the philippines. Oh yeah, I try very hard to get a full set from circulation or mint/proof set for each year that I visit or live in a country. Oh oh yeah, I have made good progress on a year set of circ US federal issue coins. Lets not even talk about my collection of foreign coins; mainly because I only have a vague idea of what I have. |

I'm more of a chaotic kind of collector. Not sorting my coins by anything, but at least they're kept in one place.  I do plan on starting a ''one-coin-from-every-country'' kind of collection, alongside my main one. Edited by MichaelSH
