Favorite coins

[trout]

It's no secret that I have an obsession with Canberra florins ( I have about 60 of these) and I will always try and add more all the time.
Is it just me or does anyone else like to get multiples of their favourite coins:blush2:

I have 10 or 20 Spanish bust dollars.  Most of them are scrubbers, either cleaned, heavily worn, or chopmarked to b*ggery but I still get one every now and again.  Can't seem to help myself when I see one going for a bargain price.

So it's not just me:yahoo: :dance2:

My major obsession is/was with Oz $1 coins.  I haven't done much with them since the APEC $1
My minor obsession is with the other decimal denominations.
I aslo collect world coins by date. I have over 13,000, all in 2x2s.
Then there are the roll collections, mainly oz, but a few US and a fewer world, including China which can be very hard to get.
Obsessive? Complusive? Both!

I have an obsession for purple pennies that has extended to any purple copper onto any rainbow copper and the odd blue toned silver :angel:

I have several favourite coin designs, but I don't feel any compulsion to acquire as many of those types as I can. I made the decision way back in my teens: my collection is strictly "no duplicates allowed".

You're a hard man Sap, I obviously don’t that self control.

Favorite coins are a bit like Beer, why buy only one when you just know that a whole bunch of them will make you feel real good:diablo::dance2::drinks:

I am quite happy with only one of each coin in my collection, but that means I want every year and every mint of each type, from every country. The only exception to this is my collection of Bradman 20c and CHOGM $1, I have about 50 of each of these. I only pull these
out of circulation for future swaps, no other reason. So if anyone wants to swap some for world coins, just let me know.

My favourite Aussie coin...

I don't normally collect error coins as such, but is that a die crack I just noticed at the bottom of the 50 Centavos?

[Mister T]

I don't intentionally obtain duplicates but I get a few from bulk lots/change and hang on to them.

Aussie 2000 Mules, 2001 COF Upsets and one of each of all Unc/circulating decimal currency.

one of each of all Unc/circulating decimal currency.

This is not too hard to achieve up until you get to the 20 cents and upwards.
Most of the coins needed in the decimal sets require you buying mint sets and "hoping" you get prime coins in them.
Once you start on the 50 cents and dollar coins it becomes far more difficult with the different mintmarks, nclt issues, silver proofs etc etc.

That to me is a challenge that I readily accept :good:
I have done a fair bit to get all there is to get but I am a long way from having them all (Thank god for that) .
It would be soooo boring to have them all and just pounce on the new coins as they come out, ya gotta just love the challenge.
Wait until you get to the $5 and $10 coins, NOW that is an eye opener with the different issues in these coins.
What a great hobby there is ALWAYS a coin you will need; if it wasn't like that we would all just yawn and give it all away.
I seriously doubt that any private collector in Australia has every coin issued and that is my Challenge.
In the meantime I will keep stacking up my Canberra florins on the way to Nirvana.
You just have to love this hobby because it keeps your mind going at 150% of its capacity and if you are really into it, the “Passion” will never die
