crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 03/04/2006 09:26 am While I absolutely love the Morgan dollars I have a special fondness for the Buffalo nickel and know those coins will NEVER go anywhere! Actually I have so many coins, sets, and countries I am attached too it is very hard to say what is my number 1 desire in this hobby. There is so much to chose from and after turning to the Darkside I am like a kid in a candy store! So many coins, so little time and never enough money!!! I actually care very little for the nickels but find I have almost a complete set of U.S. nickels from the time they started making them. I have almost two sets of Buffalo nickels, a full set of Liberty (V) nickels and a partial set of Shield nickels. My wife is near the end of the Jefferson set so our nickels are almost complete but I am contemplating selling the Liberty nickels off as a set due to my desire to concentrate on SILVER at this time? What is a guy to do? Also have almost all of the U.S. dimes from 1917 to date and I absolutely don't care for them either? I think a lot of it is the value of a finished set if they are less than unc. and my Mercury dimes are, for the most part, a circulated set of coins and until you grab the 1916 you really don't have much to show for your efforts? My Roosevelt collection is close to completion but again I have no desire or hurry to finish this particular set and it holds the proof issues as well? I just can't find the excitement with dimes!

OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 03/21/2006 9:14 pm I always favored the original Buffalo nickel and it's design. Still believe it was the best coin this country ever minted. However, just today I seen a coin (or medal) that was designed and produced by Daniel Carr which had made me hopeful that some day we will have beautiful coin once again.

Sap Moderator Australia 16836 Posts	Posted 03/22/2006 12:19 am Demonboy: OFEC is "One From Every Country". Specifically, circulating coins from every country that issued them. I try to keep "country" very loosly defined to keep things interesting. 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

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 03/22/2006 05:13 am OFEC -- What a great idea for a collection. My coin dealer usually has a bucket of 15 to 20 pounds of "foreign" coins. I would bet that one-third of the world's countries would be represented in that bucket. A starting place perhaps. I likely won't pursue the idea, but may interest the Grandkids in giving it a try. There would be a litle geography to be learned along the way also, as well as interesting facts about various countries. Report this Post to the Staff
