ccg Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Myself, I collect mainly by type since I find date collections to be expensive. Ancients can be suprisingly inexpensive. Several people here collect them, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I collect by date but only Flying Eagle, Indian Head and Large Cents from the US. Everything else is just random stuff that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Who here collects coins by date? Yup, I do - but only those from my country (Federal Republic of Germany, ie. 1949 and later). If I included coins from elsewhere, that would indeed get very expensive - so in those cases (mostly Western Europe and North America) I collect by type only.

Ætheling Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Generally i prefer to collect dateless coins... why? Because i'm a big collect by date nut and it saves me alot of hastle to plain avoid dates where possible. But if i do find a series i like with dates then i do it properly, by date.

labmom Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I collect any coin and/or currency minted or printed on the planet Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirde56 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Like Labmom, I collect just about any world numismatic piece although I try to concentrate on ones issued since 1700. I've accumulated quite a few date runs from different countries too. I have an Extras List that may have some dates you can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who here collects Pre-1900 coins? Thanks! TKC! Let me just say that I am well beyond all hope of redemption. I collect coins by country, by denomination, by date AND by mint mark. I started off collecting UK crowns....then foreign crown size silver...then anything and everything. My downfall into complete anorakdom was accomplished upon discovering the diversity of mints and coinage in France. ASfter that, I was a lost cause. For the past few years i've managed to stay (fairly) focused on that country but I sometimes stray. I even collect US coins occasionally , but I generally find them to be about as boring as Brit coins. From ancients to present, I prefer the diversity of continental europe. For ancients, collecting year by year is a non starter. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think I am heading in the reverse direction compared to you. More than likely. My `direction' has taken me away from hard core `coins' into the (gulp) dark chasm that is `exonumia'. Perhaps the darkest side of the `darkside'. I am now an ardent collector of french silver jetons which I collect by type AND date (at least for some series). It can be a cold and lonely place at times.

Ian Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 That would be the Farside. It's better than being the Backside I guess. That would be a butt of a joke (he said in a Scots brogue). Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDJMSP Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 May I ask which series, GD? Good lord - I didn't think there was anyone left who didn't know But no, I don't mind you asking at all Trantor - I'm actually pleased. It's the ducat - gold ducats.
