That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 5:44 pm Since I am a world coin collector, I thought I'd make a thread showing my finds as I go through bulk purchases. Today I bought about 3 pounds of coins and on first look, no silver, but I did see some new countries, so we shall see how this progresses! Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7939 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 8:12 pm Cool! I only did that (OFEC) for my world birth year collection some years ago, but I occasionally poke around in the world coin bin at my LCS where I find countries that didn't exist back in my birth year. Will be interesting to follow what you've found Edited by tdziemia 12/22/2020 8:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 9:11 pm Ok yes very good. There are multiple OFEC lists posted here to help with your endeavor and this thread is one of my favorites. http://goccf.com/t/205766 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 10:42 pm Cool, Today I looked at 1/2 of a pound of the coins I acquired, no errors or varieties, but I did add 3 nations to my collection; Slovakia, Guatemala, and Trinidad and Tobago. Nothing photoworthy though. Tomorrow I will knowck out another 1/2 pound and we shall see. Report this Post to the Staff

I've never had a Slovakia coin in my collection. For what it's worth, I think any list for an OFEC collection is arbitrary to some extent (as you'll see from browsing that other thread). Because of the way you are approaching it, I would go for your first 100 or so countries before you even worry about it... Report this Post to the Staff

(I apologize for the long post) An Unc 1967 Canadian 10 cents 1873 A 1 Drachme 1967 Canada 25 Cents 1929 Canada 1 Cent (My first Canadian KGV) An 1882 Canada large cent! A 1930 20 Centavos from Cape Verde (the first year this coin was minted!) A 1946 1 Krona from Sweden A proof-like 1964 Canada 10 cents An 1857 O Half Dime! A 1942 Denver 3 pence from Australia And finally 5 uncirculated Mexican Type sets! I added dozens of nations to my OFEC collection this Christmas! I also got 2 rolls of UNC 1964 Canadian Cents, 2 Rolls of Unc Canadian Cents, and a nearly full roll of IHCs. In addition to the world coins, I got the 2020 UNC Set! Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7939 Posts	Posted 12/31/2020 9:05 pm I am really liking that Cape Verde coin, those Mexico sets, and the Canada PL 10 cent coin. Santa was good to you indeed! Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 01:16 am Yeah haha, once I finish hunting errors and varieties ther will be more! Report this Post to the Staff
That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 01/10/2021 1:19 pm Okay as promised, here are the noteworthy errors and varieties. A 2012 UAE DDO: They used single squeeze so the doubling is not as noticeable. But there is spread on the date. A 2012 UAE DDR: Same story here, but feel free to use the images as comparison. A Thai Baht coin with a Die clash: Another Thai coin With a Die crack and a Die clash: A Thai Baht coin with a small Die crack: A Swiss 5 Rappen coin with a Filled B error, look at the mintmark on the Reverse: These are the coins I cherrypicked from my Christmas haul.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 8:36 pm I myself am trying to build this kind of world set, except I'm staying between the years 1900 and 2000, a coin from every country from the world. Currently I'm at just over 200 countries/regions represented. Now I am in the hard area, trying to find the remaining 50+ countries that are scarce to rare. It is a fun project to try and locate very obsolete or rare countries that just never produced that many coins. (My sole coin from 1900 is a Crete 5 lepta). Report this Post to the Staff
