JoeTheLucky Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 7:26 pm I collect predominantly world coinage and have had a hard time deciding weather or not to keep a dutch and french text example of each coin, I just wanted to get the general consensus. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 3941 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 8:10 pm I am a type collector, and I collect both as the differences in wording seems fairly significant to me. But like any collector, you can make whatever rule you want that makes it seem "complete" to you. Report this Post to the Staff
JoeTheLucky Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 8:36 pm Would you say that keeping those older british pennies with no ind imp and with them would be worth for you? Report this Post to the Staff
norantyki Valued Member Poland 299 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 02:02 am I am actually a specialized type collector of high grade ( NGC slabbed 64 or higher) pre-euro Belgian (forerunners, rump state, and Congo) coinage. I consider each language / language order a unique type. I also have an overdate of each type to accompany them (if I can get one without paying too much of a premium). As per @oriole, its up to you though - it depends on how general or specialized you want to be. Belgium is a bit of a rabbit hole though, as there are simply so many varieties / overdates / patterns / commems to get, so maybe bear that in mind as well.

David Graham Valued Member Australia 475 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 02:12 am with most responses in that I collect both language text coins. At least the Belgians seem to produce them in equal quantities unlike Croatia with their Croatian and Latin texts. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 2722 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 04:38 am too. Both languages for me, but then I'm not a type collector. I want every denomination for every year.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 3315 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 08:02 am I'd probably try to get both unless one of them is significantly rarer (which, I believe, usually isn't the case for Belgium). As far as I'm concerned they're obviously different types. Now, in cases like South Africa where there's like a dozen "different types" that differ only by language, that's harder. (...I don't recall offhand if there are any such cases other than South Africa.) Though as long as it's a well-defined limited set I might well try to get all of them anyway.

NumisRob Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 7936 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 10:19 am I collect one of each from Belgium. Note that only one version was struck of the silver 1960 50-franc coin commemorating the wedding of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola, with the legend in Latin. It makes one wonder why they couldn't have used Latin for every coin... My Trade List: http://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: http://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 3941 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 10:59 am @numisrob, here in Canada we use Latin/ bilingual legends so there is only one type per year, and that seems a more sensible way, in my opinion. I suspect that in the case of Belgium, politics was involved. Mind you, some of the older banknotes were issued in French and English, and the ones in French are quite a bit rarer.

JoeTheLucky Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 11:10 am Makes you think why the couldn't have created the language of "Belch"! Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4180 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 7:24 pm My Belgian collection has neither French nor Flemish legends (and why haven't our Belgian members weighed in on this question?) Edited by tdziemia 12/02/2020 7:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
