latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 04/16/2010 06:22 am I have been working flat out like a lizard drinking (excuse the Aussie lingo) and haven't been spending much time on this wonderful hobby lately. As some of you may know, I am attempting to put together a world type set of King George V coins. And this little beauty is the latest acquisition. Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 04/16/2010 9:21 pm Not square! Actually that is part of my attraction to the George V coins. I can collect square and scalloped coins as well in the same theme. Report this Post to the Staff

Firstly I really like the design of the crowned effigy of George V, being a Monarchist myself it really appeals to me. Secondly, there are so many to collect. I have identified 168 different coins I will need to complete the set. Some quite easy, and some quite difficult in high grades. Especially for the keys. There is also the history aspect. The Commonwealth being a much larger group of countries back then, and the coins all tie such a large part of the world together. With so much of the modern world being shaped at that time, it is a study in history as well. I also don't know of anyone else who has put together an entire world type set of George V coins in Uncirculated condition or better, so there is that challenging aspect of it as well. Needless to say, I still have a little way to go.... Report this Post to the Staff
