Citação: erdvilla- 01. Mexico: 331 (Just a single addition since last time)
This is my dream....
now i have only 95 coins from Mexico
Yeah, past the 100 types it turns into a commitment as the next 100 coins aren't as common, then from the 200 to 300 turns into an investment. Past 300 I guess it turns into an obsession
Currently for common coins I am focusing on Polish 2 Zlotych comms, as well as the Russian 10 Rouble Bi-metallic comms, so I think Mexico could fall to 2nd or even 3rd place depending on how good I do on those two collections, specially Poland because the 2Zl coins are a LOT.

Yeah, I collect Polish 2 Zlot and now i have 172 coins and i need 88 coins to complete all 2 Zlot serie
But these 88 coins costs in total near 1000$ =)
And I collect Russian bi-metallic 10 Roubles coins and have 103 coins (all which were issued)

Yeah, I remember you showing me your 10R collection in their holders and all, beautiful collection. Mexico biggest circulation collection has been the 5 Peso one, which are only 37 coins (38 with the special mint-error one). So they are really few to collect. The biggest collection so far is the 100$ Bi-Metallic ones, which the Bronze-Silver ones where initially made to circulate, but then the silver price went up and the Peso down so they turned into Comms. 64 coins, two for each State, in 3 variants each one, Bronze-Silver, Proof Silver and Proof Silver & Gold. So that series alone is 192 coins-big. That is around 100,000 dollars to complete the collection I'm happy enough with the Bronze-Silver one.

Mexico just entered the 1000+ coin club, so there is a lot to choose from... although only a third is available for amateur collectors like myself... I'll rob a bank for the rest... but I think having the money isn't enough as some are very very rare.
