Цитата: dptashnyThe Swiss Shooting Thaler series. Unlikely that I will every finish it, but it's worth a shot!
I need like 15 of them left to get. The first 4 are out of reach unless they are in craptacullar condition or get a lucky break. Too pricey. I'll be happy with 1857 Bern and newer.
I got all of the 5CHF and 10CHF Commemoratives and am also working on the 20CHF. Prefer all in the original Swissmint plastic packaging.
For me it's the old US silver half dollar set. A couple of them are super pricey and there are 48 I think but I love those and I want to complete the set. Although otherwise I'm not a huge fan of my country's coins. My favorite non US series are the Austrian 25 and 50 schilling coins.
I'll choose the Austrian coins for the Diamond Jubilee of Franz Josef in 1908. These have been my dream coins for a long time. I have recently bought a nice 1 corona example in high AU for VF money, but the rest are all getting out of my price range. However, if I could spend $4,000 on one coin, I would immediately do so on the 100 corona proof - probably the nicest gold coin ever.
When i read first post, the first thing that came to my head was the German 2-euro commemorative series. At least something that looks more exciting n German coin selection and i like these ones a lot.
UK 50 pence '2012 Olympics'
Netherlands 5 and 10 euro coins
US: all commem. quarters (State, park, whatever)
UK 1 and 2 pound pieces (all circulating pieces)

I dunno. The 50p Olympics was fun to collect.. I guess the FAO coins are cool too. Out of my own the commemorative series I like the best is the Bahamas penny. Only one made but it does commemorate an event ha !
