gxseries Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I collect Russian and Austria-Hungarian (gold standard 1892-1918) coins by date, mintmark and variety. Also some beautifull imperial Russian medals would be nice, trying to get one this summer. I am planning to have atleast one album filled before my 100th birthday (I should have plenty of time) Tane is almost 100 years old? o_O wow...

Sir Sisu Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I am an absolute Squirrel! If I get a coin with a date/mintmark/error/etc that I do not have, I keep it. (I plan on moving into a storage warehouse eventually. ) Me too, except things get darn expensive this way ;-) So I limited my Germany (Fed. Rep.) collection to "by year" only, ignoring mint marks. Other coins I collect by type. Christian Yes, that evil pentagram formed by the current 5 mints in Germany is already taking over my euro collection!

Mila_cent Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'm sorry for this question. I don't know much of the 'coin lingo'. But what does 'type sets' mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'm sorry for this question. I don't know much of the 'coin lingo'. But what does 'type sets' mean? A very simplified example would be a US cent -type set. One would not look at the year of the coin, but the different types or designs of 1 cent coins: Lincoln w/memorial on reverse, Lincoln w/wheat ears on reverse, Indian head cent, Flying eagle cent, etc. Some people also consider different metal content as differing types. Thus a pre-1982 and post 1982 would be two differnt types. The steel cents from 1943 would be another and so on.... No need to apologize for a question. That is what this is all about.

28Plain Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 well,mainly U.S. coinage (key dates) but here lately the dark side has been calling "Skywalker, this is your father, eh. Surrender to the darkside of the Force, you knob." A favorite line of mine from Dave Thomas in "Strange Brew", the comedy film featuring the McKenzie brothers characters.

thedeadpoint Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Date and mint. But since seeing all of the beautiful coins posted on CP, I may start picking up some type beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 bump. My answers the same. I collect series, so date and mint is necessary. THough I have added a few more type coins as inspired by above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
