EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 04:02 am graceoutcast quote: Is it common to find older Egyptian coins in circulation? The oldest you can find is a 5 or 10 piastres coin 1967. Older coins can be bought from coin dealers or auctions. Report this Post to the Staff
maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 04:45 am World coins, mainly 19th and 20th century. I am not interested into proof coins and only mildly into commemorative coins, except if they were/are circulting. My major part of interest are coins from Luxembourg, India and France.

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 07:56 am I collect FAO coins and albums. There are about 120 countries and I have nearly all the coins except for the very rare gold coins which I am always looking for. Report this Post to the Staff
stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 08:02 am I collect any kind of coin. That's not because I wouldn't like a thematic collection, but because here in Romania there is no authorised dealer, no place where you can go and buy a coin.It's very hard to find a coin around here, so finding a specific one would be even harder.I just get every coin that gets in my way. I collect by year.And if I were to choose a subject for my collection, I would go for the great European Empires: Russian, French, Austrian, German, Ottoman. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 08:32 am I'm with the other OFECers that have posted here. All countries are good. The more, the merrier. Still, countries that I (or my friends/relatives) have visited are over-represented in my collection. The "big seven" for me are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States - I have over 150 coins from each of these places. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
kuhli Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 11:18 am I used to collect everything from everywhere, but it finally got disappointing having so many odd-ball coins without any semblance of a collection, looking more like a crazy man's hoard. I pondered through everything, and narrowed my focus down (several times) to the point that now I only collect coins from the southern Slavic states, which includes Yugoslavia and the now independent states that were once part of Yugoslavia (Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia). Although the collecting has slowed down considerably, I feel much more rewarded and gratified when I actually do fill a hole in my collection. There are still a lot of holes to fill, and even though they are all common coins, their commonness increases their elusiveness, making the hunt all the more challenging.

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 7:10 pm I'm also guilty of collecting anything that catches my eye. I especially like coins from the German States, 19th century mexican coins and anything with a fish on it. Eventually I'd like to get OFEC, but it's not a priority at this time.

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 7:15 pm Angielczyk - do you have any of the more modern FAO coins that haven't made the Krause catalog yet? I recently picked up a 1995 Uganda 200 shilling and had a tough time finding a comparison for pricing. Report this Post to the Staff

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 06/14/2007 09:29 am Here is a list of the FAO coins that do not appear in Krause. They were all part of a 1995 issue for the 50th anniversary of FAO, They all appear in the Schon Welt Muntzkatalog with the exception of the Laos 50 Kip coin. I list the coin katalog number and value. The prices quoted in this catalogue are in Euros except that the Trinidad and Tobago proof coin (only 1000 pieces issued of which 930 were put in sets) has no price quoted. Krause shows the CN version They are all silver proof with the exception of the Solomon Island 20 cent coin.
