So this is what it feels like to finish a set

6 posts in this topic

Well, I did it! As some of you know, I am working on a set of French Colonial coinage. Within that overarching set are smaller sets according to each colony, and I have recently been working on Cameroon. Well, tonight I bought the last two coins I needed for Cameroon! I am surprised by how quickly and easily this set went together, I only started working on it in October, and it comprises 17 coins. Anyways, attached below are the two I just bought.

Are you liberating them from plastic for an album or keeping them as is? btw that is a nice looking coin. :)

Oh, no, they will be cracked out immediately. I've got everything in 2x2s in a binder, and that's where these will go as well. NNC plastic is worthless anyways, and these are low dollar coins so I'm not concerned.

So, I need help deciding which colony to do next. I've narrowed it down to Syria, Lebanon, or Togo. Consult your Krause, and tell me which one you think I should do. That is, which one do you want to hear me talking about and showing pictures of. ;)
