My main sets are as follows:
US
-Complete type set
-BU roosevelt set
WORLD
-Australian shillings
-Australian florins
-Australian Pennies
-Third Reich complete set
Although these are the sets I am going for, I own MANY other coins that don't fall into any particular collecting category. Basically, I collect what intrests me.
Most people here collect world coins in silver on a selective basis-I am a 1 to 6 or more from every country collector, including silver, copper, bronze, brass, gold, aluminum, nickel, and all alloys in-between. Some of our forum members specialize and don't move much outside of their specialty.
Many people here have been collecting for over 20 to 30 years and have coins that will blow you away. The knowledge base of some forum members here is extraordinary-as good as anyone in the business.
What do you like to specialize in?

ceases to amaze me that you can get incredibly historic ancient and medieval coins for $1-$20!

Maybe I'm thinking of another forum.
Besides Japanese milled coinage (from 1870 on), I'm into reptiles & dragons, birds, animals (with a Noah's Ark subset of twoseys), structures (bridges, buildings, etc.), transportation (ships and vehicles), aquatic lifeforms, shiny brass, and (dare I mention it here?) Walking Liberty halves.
I collect world circulating coins, and mint sets.
I collect THESE.

I randomly collect coins from Portuguese, French, British and Dutch colonies (in that order). A few German states where I can afford to, and other medieval stuff. And recently I got into collecting things by date, going for 1914 right now, but also 1981--my birth year. Oh, and anything that just happens to catch my eye
Outside of coins, sometimes I pick up old maps to go with my colony collection, old books cuz I'm a geek, and I was thinking about collecting old newspapers but I don't even know where to start in that area.. a bunch of other random junk too.

Anyway, I got bored out of my skull with my US coin collection a couple of years ago, and have since focused on Roman silver denarii of the early-to mid-Empire, and German Imperial and Prussian silver issues. Here lately I've been thinking of delving into ancient Greek drachms and tetradrachms, but I'm trying to stay focused on the existing lines.
I also pick up the odd old book now and again.

Cool! I just so happen to have a friend in Romania that wants to trade some of these items for other coins. What do you have to trade?

Given what I have read, I might take issue with that!

Welcome OldFossil. As you can see, the thread's been rescued, thanks to you and not the member who started it.
I basically collect nice items that carry some history on them. I could be collecting old books, unofficial first day covers, newspapers ,some specific magazines, movies, postcards, comics, and more ,much more, but my budget and a certain need to stay focused , have turned me into a devoted coin collector. Nineteeenth and twentieth century Greek coins basically, but also world gold, British, Japanese, some US ,and lately, inexpensive world red copper or toned silver coins. From time to time, I won't be able to resist a neat little old item that has nothing to do with my coins, so I'll sell other stuff to make room (and $$) for the newcomer , a process that adds some dynamics to an otherwise very static hobby.
Then , there are times that I feel that I waste valuable time for a very materialistic occupation. Times that I would like to live in a place with only the absolutely necessary.I try to comfort myself by thinking that nothing really belongs to me, I just make sure that these "collectables" will reach the next generation in the best possible way , but mainly that's when I log into this forum, before I get depressed.

Lately I have felt a terrible urge to buy papermoney as well... actually bought two of them last month... but I just cannot afford all those areas of collecting

I collect just about everything and dabble in ancients. I specialize in US and world
coins from the latter half of the 20th century and various tokens and medals. I also
collect some older world coins by date including Brittish pennys.
