A liteside convert of sorts here would love to have feedback and ideas
thanks David

p.s. just tired of the same old U.S. coins

Your best starting place would be to browse a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins (aka Krause, the Darksider's bible). It can likely be found in any decent bookstore or library. You can probably buy a slightly older copy online for much less than retail.

Once you get your hands on this book the whole spectrum of world coins is available to you. I know when I was a newbie (and sometimes still) I have fun just looking at all the pictures.

I am working on a OFEC in Silver Crown/Dollar sized coins. Many can be had fairly cheaply and its a lot more interesting than staring at Morgans. Welcome to the Darkside

I told him that picking a specific year, like his birthyear, might make for an interesting OFEC set.

OFEC is a pretty large challenge, I would think, unless one narrows the focus down to a particular time period or a single year. Otherwise, you gotta have (for example) one East German coin, one West German coin, one coin from each of every eight gazillion German States, and so on.

David- another interesting and fun way to collect Darkside coins is to choose a particular theme. One of our members here does bears on world coins. Another couple of folks do ships. Somebody is or was doing lions at one point in time.
