deposito 1916 Coins of the USA and World First I just planned to get a nice mint state example of each USA type for 1916. I have never cared about mint marks. And as an adult, I have never collected USA coins. The Standing Liberty quarter was going to be a problem, I knew. Presently that is substituted for by a 1917 Standing Liberty quarter.

Once the major pieces of U.S. coinage were found, I didn't want to stop adding to the set. I started discovering what other 1916 coins were available. We now have more than 46 different countries / colonies / protectorates / territories covered, with nice mint state silver, or even gold coins.

For some countries, as far as I know, in 1916 only base metal coins are available for the year. For many other countries, I have never seen any coin of any kind available. There are still plenty of countries with coins that I know can be obtained, but it is a shrinking list, and I have mostly taken out all the easy ones already.

Coins that I know exist, and can be sometimes bought, but mostly for too much, and not too often), include:

1. Bulgaria
2. Brazil
3. German East Africa gold (got it in AU Bent)
4. Afganistan gold
5. British Honduras (Belize)
6. Problem-free Philippines
7. Problem-free Netherlands
8. Gold Costa Rica

Beyond these, I know there is a base metal coin of Belgium from 1916, and a leper colony token (Maricaibo) from Venezuela! This is why I say I have already done the "easy work" and what's left is going to be tough. My kids hopefully has many decades to grow up and work on this.

A U.S. collector might be interested to hear that Ecuador, the Philippines, Cuba, and maybe more countries got their coins minted by U.S. mints.

deposito 26 Centuries of Gold Primary Objective: Assemble a timeline of gold coins from the start of coinage through the present, without more than 100 years between the examples for each century.

Secondary Objective: Illustrate the longest running issues used in long-distance trade between neighbors, enemies, and strangers. Once coinage was developed, major international trade almost always relied on gold coins. This is why Western Europe was draining out gold and silver to India and East Asia in the long run; a forerunner of today’s major trade deficits between the “West” and modern India and East Asian states. Except today, somehow we got those countries to accept our digital currency units instead of real money or products. Examples of “mini series” include the Netherlands gold ducats of 1586 to the present, Venetian ducats from the 1280’s to 1797, Islamic dinars and other gold units from about 700 to the present, Byzantine solidi from about 300 to 1000, etc.

Tertiary Objective: Get nice examples of gold coins from significant places or people in world history.

TMS Coins 1A.GREAT BRITAIN, GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGN CIRCULATION ISSUES, 1817-1915 Ten years since I started building up this interesting collection of these beautiful and historical coins. Ten years full of excitement and fun, buying always the best that could be afforded. The goal from the beginning was to obtain high-grade examples for every year since their first strike in 1817. As the quality of the individual coins determines the strength and value of a collection, constant emphasis was given on quality and condition rarity. For some rarer and scarcer pieces though, I had to compromise condition in order to fill up the empty slot, hoping to upgrade as opportunity permits.
It is true that in general, half-sovereigns, especially those of the 19th Century, have become a great deal more difficult to find in uncirculated condition, even more difficult than finding uncirculated gold sovereigns. It was actually the half-sovereign that had the most circulation in Victorian Britain. Many sovereigns languished in bank vaults for most of their lives. However I must continue to hunt, to recognize opportunities and be prepared to strike when a piece comes up in order to fill up the empty slots with high grade coins or upgrade certain dates. "There is no substitution for quality".
Although the collection is still a work in progress, contains examples from all the Reigns. Many of the coins in this set are Top Pop or the single finest graded with quite a few condition rarities. Definitely the crown jewel of this collection is the 1844 MS66, for its pedigree, its quality and condition rarity. Highlights of condition rarities among other scarce coins are: 1820 MS64+, 1823 MS65, 1834 MS64, 1847 MS64, 1849 MS65, 1850 MS63, 1852 MS65, 1872 MS64 and 1893 MS66.
Actually the year 2017 has been more exciting because it was the 200th anniversary of the "modern" sovereign and the "modern" half-sovereign which were first issued in 1817. During that year I managed to fill up some empty slots with new entries and make a few upgrades.
In 2018 five more coins were added to the collection, between them the exceedingly rare 1845 VF35, the 1850 MS63 (R3, M.Marsh) and the 1838 MS64, the very first of the Victorian half-sovereigns. Also some significant upgrades were made, like the 1893 MS66 (Single finest graded) and the 1835 MS64+. Now the collection reached a completion of 86% with 75 coins (October 2018).

* Denoted by a + symbol appearing after the grade, the plus designation indicates that a coin is of superior quality for the grade and that it approaches the next technical grade level. In numismatics, in addition to plus, several terms are used interchangeably to indicate this, including premium quality, PQ and high-end.

World_Coin_Nut Wildman Coins of the German States To assemble a set of Wildman (or Wild Man) coins from the German States that has as many different varieties as I can acquire. I am trying to only add new pieces that are well struck but this is very challenging. This is a fascinating series that I always find new reasons to love.

It's hard to believe that it has been over 4 years since I created this set on the registry. I continue to add coins as I find them but recently I have focused on Thalers. There is an enormous amount of minors available but in general, they don't have the stylistic beauty of the Thalers. No other coins in my collection give me the joy that these Wildmen do.

World_Coin_Nut WCN - Pre-1900 World Coins I started collecting like a lot us have. My grandfather collected coins when I was little and I helped him sort coins. He gave me a Lincoln folder that we filled holes in. It is amazing to me how nice his collection was and he never purchased a coin. Everything came from circulation. Fast forward 40 years and my tastes have evolved.

At this point the bulk of my new acquisitions are world coins. My favorites are large diameter copper/brass/bronze pieces. I think this is due to my love of US large cents. Aside from that I buy anything that speaks to me, you know the voice. Hope you enjoy.

At some point everything will be in only NGC edge view holders but certain details graded coins don't bother me so will stay in the set. 		5/10/2015 9/11/2020 1515142

Rhomoruel Andrew's World Explorer Coin Set The primary goal of this set is for my son to learn about the different countries in the world. He is now 8 years old and this set will grow with him. We will pick a Country, get some coins from it and have them graded. It is NOT about obtaining the highest grade of any coin. Many coins will surely have low rank but that is not important. He will then be responsible for writing a "report" on the coin and putting it in the description telling what he learned about the coin and the country. This way he is learning about the country that the coin comes from. ***Ground rule*** This collection will NOT be politically oriented. Descriptions of heroism in battle etc are OK as long as my son offers no opinion on it. Being 8 years old his reports are going to be rudimentary at first but with age they should become more informative. I am using this as something for a Daddy and Son to do. Having them graded is so that he will have something to cherish with good memories when Daddy is no longer. 6/25/2020 8/22/2020 359

World_Coin_Nut WCN - German States Thalers etc. I have only been collecting German States coins for a relatively short amount of time. I find the variety and beauty to be stunning. When I was younger none of my mentors were world coin collectors so I think I was unintentionally shielded from collecting them. For the last 5 years (+-) I have been building a collection of world coins with the keys being mostly from the German States.

I am constantly searching for affordable new varieties to add. 		1/19/2018 8/7/2020 38850

Scott A Belgian Congo - Congo 1887-1999 My goal is to complete a date set of Belgian Congo - Democratic Republic of Congo coins in mint condition including proofs and patterns, listed and unlisted, as well as errors. I strive to add the finest coins available to this collection, (that I can afford). This has truly been a labor of love. 8/30/2007 8/1/2020 7482272
TMS Coins 4. GREAT BRITAIN, GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGNS 1817-2017, COMPLETE CIRCULATION ISSUES. My main collecting interest has been on the modern coinage of Cyprus 1879-1949.
During this period Cyprus was under British Administration and the "piastre coinage" made its appearance in 1879. The copper piastre became the unit of currency and was fixed at the rate of 180 to the British gold sovereign. The gold sovereign became the standard measure of value and remained the coin of unlimited legal tender throughout the period from 1878-1960. During the reign of Queen Victoria, the gold half-sovereign was also legal tender, demonetized though from the 1st May 1901. Due to this relation, after completion of the "Cyprus Piastre Coinage Collection", the collection of sovereigns and half-sovereigns became a strong challenge. So, nine years ago I started to build up this collection of gold half-sovereigns with the goal to obtain high grade examples for every year since their first issue in 1817, buying always the best that could be afforded. As the quality of the individual coins determines the strength and value of a collection, constant emphasis was given on quality and condition rarity. For some rarer and scarcer pieces though I had to compromise condition in order to fill the empty slot, hoping to upgrade as opportunity permits. However there are a few ultra rarities in these series: 1836 (R6), 1845 (R4), 1862 (R6), 1879 (R4); not a single example of these appeared in a decent condition for many years!
It is true that in general half-sovereigns, especially those of the 19th Century, have become a great deal more difficult to find in uncirculated condition, even more difficult than finding uncirculated gold sovereigns. Despite this, it is really a challenge to hunt, to recognize opportunities and be prepared to strike when a piece comes up in order to fill up the empty slots with high grade coins or upgrade certain dates. "There is no substitution for quality".
Although the collection is still a work in progress, contains examples from all the Reigns. All coins are NGC-certified and many of them are "Top Pop" or single finest graded, quite a few conditionally rare.
Actually 2017 is more exciting because is the 200th anniversary of the "modern" half-sovereign which was first struck in 1817. During this year I managed to fill up some empty slots with new entries and make a few upgrades, so the collection reached an 81% completion. I also added, as a "guest star", a 1937 PF 66 Ultra Cameo half-sovereign of King George VI. During his reign only proof half-sovereigns were struck by the Royal Mint as part of the four coin Coronation Proof Set, with a mintage of only 5001.

Rhomoruel Andrew's DNA Heritage Coin Set The goal of this set is to obtain coins from the regions of my sons' DNA heritage, have them graded, and then have my son write a report (description) of the coin.
