josemartins Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 You will be relieved to know then that i have no interest in Portuguese coins... except p'rhaps for 1780s ones with monarch portraits on them if such coins exist (probably gold only i'm thinking). Yes, only gold, but if you got 600 "quids" laying around: http://www.numisr.com/?cat=9&item=212 Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Yes, only gold, but if you got 600 "quids" laying around: http://www.numisr.com/?cat=9&item=212 Jose Woow! Erm well i would say i had six hundred just lying around, but if i put my mind to it, it could be raised. The collection would take another cut in numbers though.

Tane Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I can't come up with ten areas to collect... But let's try: 1. Coins and banknotes of the Russian Empire until 1917 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? 5. ? 6. ? 7. ? 8. ? 9. ? 10. Other coins with beautiful designs or interesting history. (USSR, USA, UK, Germany, China, etc.) This is the one I should quit completely and sell the coins. Number one takes practically all the resources I have for coin collecting, area is quite large as you can imagine. And it's my favourite, ofcourse. I am a bad Finn, I collect Russian coins and there's a little (or not so little actually) monarchist in me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
