Tiffibunny Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Just curious if anyone collects themes. I collect coins with Medieval looking people on them, on banknotes I collect ugly or "strange" looking people on them, I also like bridges. And you? If you do, maybe show some.

jlueke Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The only real theme I've ever come up with is nudes :-) Stand alone it probably isn't cohesive enough but it's easy to tie into otehr set ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDen1952 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 A theme that was bantered around RCC a few month's back... the Buffalo Herd: 1913-1938 Buffalo nickel, 1991 Mt Rushmore half, 1999 Yellowstone dollar, 2001 Buffalo dollar, 2005 Bison nickel, 2005 Kansas quarter South Dakota was in the running but lost to Mt Rushmore and a ringed-neck pheasant. AFAIK, Montana is still in the running. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I really can't think of any themes I have. I have always thoguht it sounded like a cool idea and if I did it, it would probably be ships or bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalk64 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 JDen1952 North Dakota will have two buffalo on their statehood quarter next year unless something drastic happens. I to collect the buffalo and have your list plus a medal and currently looking at foreign buffalos. Nice subject! Did you know there, unless something changes, will be 4 gold buffalo's next year in pure gold. I believe it will give the mint another year to come up with new designs so the first year of the pure gold bullion coins will be replicas of the original buffalo nickel in 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce and a full ounce. Start saving your pennies as 2006 is not that far away and believe me, when these go on sale, they WILL BE HOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I think it is quite a good looking coin. I can't find a picture of mine but here is Pilgrim's which is what got me looking for one: Mine, and I imagine his too, is untoned and looks almost perfect. IIRC, it was not an expensive coin when I bought it. Probably $5 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
