First, second and third collections

Boosibri · December 27, 2015 5:56AM

I find that I have developed a first, second and third collections with funding going in order.

Do you have multiple distinct collections?

1) No Motto Half Eagles:

2) Latin American Type Set

3) Gem Irish Free State Set:

Large cents > pre-1850 U.S. medals > rare numismatic literature. I am also beginning to develop an interest in error coins.

Yes- some are taken more seriously while others are for plain fun.

See my sigline.

Besides Walkers; I'd like to buy some standing quarters, some seated coinage and maybe some GSA Morgans in the future.

I am currently looking for 20th Century German Empire silver, from 1/2 Mark to 5 Mark; plus US Type coins and British Sovereigns and Maundy sets.

Space artifacts > 1858 business strike US coins > business strike Franklin upgrades > Dansco raw toner coin projects (Washingtons, Franklins and some Mercurys).

My main collection is pre-1964 half dollars.

Recently I started a collection of PCGS-slabbed MS65+ Jefferson nickels -- an affordable diversion.

And circulated Mercury dimes -- cheap fun at coin shows.

My 'collecton' contains several 'sets' - both of recognized series and of series I have

comprised relating to personal experience or interests. It would seem normal to have

multiple areas of focus in numismatics. Cheers, RickO

I've been doing this for a couple of years, British, German States, then ancients and rest of the world.

Barber Dimes, Seated Dollars, Bust Halves GB Three Pence 1726-1943 will go earlier when I find them. Oddly enough Ive also Picked up quite a few better Lincoln and Merc Dimes without even really wanting to collect them. They just called to me.

I have so many collections it's hard to keep count of them. The type set has been my main interest, but that is done. Beyond that Twenty Cent Pieces (done), Type I Gold Dollars (done), Type II Gold Dollars (done), 19th century presidential campaign tokens, medelets and medals (never ending), Cometia Americana medals (done as far I can take them), a coin from each king or queen of England (ongoing), presidential inaugural medals ending with Reagan (don't have Harding and Coolidge and they are tough as nails) and selected Civil War and Hard Times tokens ... just to name a few.

The problem comes when one of the collections is "everything else."

Boosibri · December 28, 2015 5:24AM

I think you should purge all Charlotte Half Eagles John. Might help to solve your problem.

I am a "Box of 20" guy thanks to a revelation from Lord Marcovan and his "Eclectic Box of 20". My set has some focus in the area of No Motto gold as well as Capped Bust and Seated Liberty halves. However, I do not care to have a complete set of any of them. So I am free to buy any coin that speaks to me without violating the goal of filling a hole with each purchase. Recent buys have included a Spanish 8 reale and German Third Reich era coin. These made me happy!
