    You are much better with electrical projects than I am. I have come to hate DDC. I have ruined a couple of engines with it, and it never seems to work for me. My main thing is the artistry part of it, aging buildings and the like.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    At the moment it's banana stickers, hardly any competition...

    You just reminded me I used to collect banana stickers also! Somewhere I have a couple pages worth from the 80's and 90's. Cheap and easy to collect...there were some fun ones if I recall!

    In my experience, most coin collectors collect other things as well. Antiques are common in general (I am guilty!) I guess because most coin collectors have an innate appreciation of history. I have various antiques including a 1915 Victrola table top phonograph (works perfectly), silverware, binoculars, branding irons, hay hooks, ice tongs, scales, etc.
