My main areas of focus with USA coins are later-date large cents, Indian cents, 50 cent classic silver commemoratives, Seated Liberty and Barber dimes, and Morgan and Peace dollars. I also managed to acquire a good handful of Buffalo nickels, some 2 cent pieces, one twenty cent piece (very rare!), and a couple of 3 cent coins (one silver, one CN). Sooner or later, I'll get around to posting all of these, but it takes time!

Except for some 5 kopek coins of Catherine the Great and some earlier 19th century roubles, I have concentrated my Russian coin purchases to date on the period of Nicholas II (1894-1917). The reasons are manifold — some having more to do with the availability of the coins in higher grades, others of more sentimental nature. Also, I have been collecting a few of the modern 3 rouble silver proof commemorative coins, which are quite striking for their utterly beautiful designs, and one gold Rachmaninoff commemorative.

I don’t collect many Swiss coins except for the gold Helvetia and Vreneli 20 Franc series. I have some odds and ends which are interesting, such as a 10 cent coin from 1908 which I received in my pocket change, or one of the last silver 50 cent coins of 1967 which I also pulled out of circulation. That one is also in BU condition, which leads me to believe that someone is spending their Dad’s coin collection, perhaps?
