16d Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Some of you are aware I/Tony make up albums of off the wall collections. Critters, ground scores, tiny coins, counterfeits, ugly busts, nautical, a big Chuckee Cheese, better off forgotten, whorehouse tokes, BIG silver, etc. A little research today, and have created another. Coins made from various metals/alloys. There is a myriad of others, but their composition is so % minute, I don't include them. This now includes: Aluminum " bronze Brass Bronze Chromium Copper Cupro-nickle Gold Iron Lead Maganese alloy " bronze Nickle " brass Silver Steel Stainless steel Tin Tombac Zinc. I've been in a real lull lately, collecting-wise. This puts the fire back in me. I'm looking through some tokes tonite, they're ripe with wierd stuff, paper, fibre, plastic, etc. With medals, I could maybe add about 10 more. Those foreign coins and other stuff I've been bored to death with lately has generated a new interest for me. Just wanted ya'll to know I'm inspired, even if I've got to make my own fun.

cowhodan Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 How about precious metal coins like palladium and platinum? Or Titanium and Niobium? -> I like Niob, specially the nice coin Latvia issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16d Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 These were coins just laying around, not the locked-up stuff. For niobium, I'll probably go fror a bi-met Austria 2003 25 euro. Palladium, a 1967 1/2 hau from Tonga. As for titanium, not much of a choice. Coins have been produced in this element, but working it is very difficult, and the dies wear out almost instantly. This would be a candidate, though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Since you're going for tombac (which is brass), if you want to dig into specifics, you could also do various copper-nickel and billon alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
