British West Africa, hoping that a coin I have had from the last 20 years will be added soon. So I add an other country. Right now 152 countries, over halfway to the 300 club ;-)

Have you requested it to be added, or you are simply waiting for someone to randomly add it for you? If you are waiting for an Admin to add it, if it is from a country with no referee you can ask KennyG for a faster processing. If it is from a country with a referee, be sure it is an active refereee, otherwise again, ask an Admin and use the different country loop.

Well, after much internal debate, I decided to expand my ever-growing collection to include Afghanistan. The adjacent history between Pakistan, India and Afghanistan can not be ignored in terms of the recent two-three hundred years. As such, I picked up several pieces from the Durrani Empire and they currently wait attribution and transliteration. Stay tuned

So, this means you also collect China, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet? Their history is way intertwined with that of India and Pakistan.

Collecting coins and integrating them with history typically becomes a domino effect and hence you end up collecting coins from a whole range of areas. So, yes I collect coins from China, Nepal, and Tibet. As for Bhutan, I don't think I have any coins from there. Might have to check my collection. I usually stay away from the modern stuff (doesn't really appeal to me much) and concentrate on the ancient and medieval coins though...

What country if your central focus, India? Because in that case you can ignore the India - Bangladesh relation, just look at their border

Apparently Yemen Arab Republic and United Arab Republic are added to my country list.

With YAR I can agree, but UAR looks a bit silly in my opinion. I do realize the UAR was an actual political entity but Egypt and Syria never had a monetary union. The coins now listed as UAR are either Egyptian Pounds or Syrian Pounds. I mean, euro coins are also listed per country and not as EMU, and these are actually part of a monetary union. Oh well...

Yes, but in the case of UAR the coins where different than their national ones, so you can say they are in their proper place, as those with the Eagle with two stars in the chest where the UAR coins. So is easy to distinguish them from the ordinary ones. Egypt changed its official name during that period, same for Syria for a shorter time, so they are actually from a different country, and since now neither Syria or Egypt kept it, it would create a duplicate listing to placed them under each of them, so it is better to place a single listing under the UAR.

I look at it more from a monetary point than political. Both the Egyptian and Syrian pounds (worth approx 8 SYP to 1 EGP) stayed in circulation in their respective countries. Yes the emblems were adjusted with the UAR eagle but I see that just as an era within the history of 2 distinct currencies.

How would you list Austro-Hungarian Krone? And that was even a single currency in monetary terms.

-Benin
-Greece (ancient)

And yesterday I finally won an auction for "Puerto Rico 5 Centavos".

Tomorrow another auction I am winning ends; for a coin from Sharjah; but I doubt I'll win it because those are rare and the auctions rise a lot.

Lost the Sharjah auction, as expected. But this had a nice collateral effect, as I found a very nice looking Windward Islands coin for just about 50 extra dollars of my bid on the Sharjah coin, so I went and bought it. And with that, I officially have at least 1 coin from every modern and extinct Country / Territory in America!

And thankfully Solomon Islands have standard currency; unlike many other Insular nations that use a foreign currency and don't have coinage at all, or like some others that don't have standard currency but have tons of Comms. of everything; mostly of themes having nothing to do with them.

Yemen was for "free" due to the coin list revision? Or like me, did you had to get new Yemenite coins because you ended up with none after the re-listing? Lucky enough I was about to close a swap when I noticed Yemen back on my Dashboard empty countries, and saw the user I was dealing with had most of the coins left under Yemen so I asked and since we where about to close the deal he simple said "I'll add them no need to give me anything in exchange as there is room in my envelope and none in yours"

Lost: Caucasian Khenates as both coins I had there where moved to the

Took me a bit to spot them out, but I knew they where moved to a new section cuz my total number remained the same, but they could at least inform about the movements, specially with arab coins since I don't know how to read them and basically recognize them as drawings and compare them with catalog.

I think it is the Frenchmen who are doing all those separations on that side of Numista, so here in the English side we don't realize changes are being made (even when they are mostly arbitrary, as the catalogs don't do such separations) until they are moved from countries.

I collect the whole world by type, and I don't really chace countries. Instead of searching for a particular coin, I always let the coin find me. In other words, when I am buying coins, I always buy coins with the best deals, and whatever coin I find with a good price I buy it. I never buy a coin for the full price. That's my strategy at least for now. So countries added to my collection are more "naturaly" added and I try not to push it. However I hope to end up in 300 countries club one day. Just that is not priority at the moment.

Those 3 coins I got in a swap here on Numista. A French collector with advanced swap list offered me a swap. I selected all coins from his swap list that I do not have and told him that he can choose what he wants to give me and he was generous.

Four interesting countries for me today

The elusive Saint Kitts and Nevis, two islands that have only ever issued about four different commemoratives in their own name.

The heart of darkness; the Congo Free State. I'm very happy to have some silver from here.

The often-reclusive Cambodia, once a kingdom, then a people's republic, then I think a kingdom again, and now I have no idea what's going on there.

Just another German state... or is it Austrian? This coin is from the oddball Habsburg possession of Further Austria.

Won an auction for my first Indian Kingdoms coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces44120.html

Will improve that coin sheet once I get it. Had to pay a lot... of cents for it; 75 cents ended the auction, shipping with registry 3$

I love when auctions end at a bad time for most of the World, and in Sunday, as most people is hangover from Saturday and don't care about auctions ending at 8am in Europe, 2am in the East coast, or 11pm at the West coast, but for me it was ideal at 1am, as I was tired, and tipsy, but not that much

It is from the CFS isn't it? I mean, the CFS reads "L'ETAT INDEP. DU CONGO" while the coins from the BC read like that "CONGO BELGE BELGISCH-CONGO" don't they?

I don't get what you are trying to say. It i clearly a CFS coin, obviously minted at Belgium, but for a different territory, lettering makes the difference, so you can't say the "are the same", as that would render a lot of colonial coins invalid for many other European invaders in Africa.

King Leopold II of Belgium convinced the other colonial powers of his time to grant him the Congo region, ruled by him personally. The country of Belgium did not own this Congo Free State; only King Leopold II owned it. Unsurprisingly he massively abused this power and killed millions through forced labour. Word got out and in 1908 the Congo was taken away from him and given to the entire country of Belgium, becoming the Belgian Congo that we all know and love.

So, there's a pretty obvious division between the "neutral" Congo Free State and the conventional colony of the Belgian Congo. The division happened in 1908.

By the way; Before Numista, which was the farthest country from where you ever got mail?.

Before Numista the farthest package I ever got was from the Netherlands. A PSN friend was quitting his PS3 and he offered me his games, so I bought them for a really small price, and he sent the 30+ games in an un-registered (didn't knew Registered mail even existed back then) box, which took 4 months to arrive, but it did arrive undamaged. And that was my farthest ever mail before Numista.

So, when I started trading here and got my first envelopes from the Ukraine, I had to look at the map, and was really happy, then Russia, NZ, and I think the farthest so far has been either China and India, as I think those are our opposite (thou I think our exact geographical opposite is Reunion and Madagascar).

Just got an American Samoa coin, the Bronce one as it is the easiest https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35555.html

With this I am only missing 1 insular country (plus the two unrealistic ones "Is Fr Bonaparte" and "Cocos Ke Is") in my collection "German New Guinea"; been stalking an auction for the past days, so maybe I'll get some luck, but I don't have high hopes as those end quite high.

Will "India - Kingdoms" have the same fate as the "Caucasian Khanates"? I mean, I've lost my coins from there as they are being moved to the Princeley States; so as now I won't try getting any Indian Kingdom coin as it might be moved to the States section.

The difference between the two is pretty clear: Princely States signed embarrassing treaties and became British vassals, but Indian Kingdoms were strong and independent.

So hopefully everything is already correctly sorted.

No, the Caucasian Khanates where moved to the Persianate States. But of the two coins I had for the Indian Kingdoms both where moved to the Indian States.

There are still some coins under the Kingdoms that correspond with the ones moved, same period and same rulers, this is why I prefer to stay away until that is settled because probably they will all be moved.

Also, the Indian Princely States where renamed as Indian States, so maybe this means everything under a State, it being a Kingdom or a Principate will be moved there, and the Kingdoms sections will disappear.
