isadore2600 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 8:23 pm I started collecting coins 20 years ago when my mother gave me a box of world coins my father got in Germany after the war. I immediately learned all about Krause catalogs, and that my fathers collection while interesting was not worth much. Since then I have on occasion bought a coin or two at auction and my world coin collection has grown to 3 big binders of 2x2 pages, well over 100 countries, and spans from 1801 to about 1960. Now that I am retired I have a hankering to actually make this into something for my kids. I don't really know how to "collect" world coins other than by filling in the types (KM#s). Is there a more targeted approach I should use? Are there any clubs in the Roseville CA area? Anyway I look forward to chatting with all of you. Report this Post to the Staff

If you can pass it on, GREAT, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's a legacy - unless you know they will be interested... /2/ What kind of organization interests YOU? By country & date? By subject matter (people, animals, etc.), by material? -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
isadore2600 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 12:39 pm Thanks for all the welcomes. Burton; Thanks for info. I have not thought about it, but I note I have been buying coins from unusual places. I like to think about what life would have been like in the time and area (India Straits in 1850's for example). javascript:insertsmilie('') When my older son was growing up, we had a huge world map and would mount coins on it with thread to the actual country. Needless to say he is pretty good at geography now. Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 4:00 pm Just curious - I wonder if you ever heard of my uncle Lee Swearingen who lived in Roseville. He was a mechanic for the railroad but died in the late '80's. Report this Post to the Staff
