Personal Collections and Rare Items


Armstrong 1st MRB

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if there were things that you all collect as a hobby or for whatever reason.

I myself collect coins, bills and particularly old and exotic pieces of money, partially because I like the look of coins and bills, and because they may be worth something more some day in the future.

My old pieces in my collection are an 1880 American Silver Dollar, an 1941 Canadian Quarter, and an 1949 Canadian Dollar. I also have a couple of small Euro coins, two Mexican $100 coins, a 1/4 Dinar bill from Kuwait, and a couple sets of Canadian $1 and $2 Bills. On top of a literal pile of collectible Quarters, Dimes, Toonies, Loonies, Nickels, and now Pennies. My goal is to get a Penny from every year possible for preservation.

I also have a couple collections of Trading Cards (mostly the old Yugi-oh Decks and some old Pokemon cards). Then as for an odd item that I will be obtaining is an old Puzzle Box that my Great-Grandfather made. It has a hidden key hole to open it and inside it is some old photos and few old childhood items of my Grandmother, great sentimental value and good craftsmenship.

Anyone else keep collections of stuff, or have any particularly odd, weird, or unique items that they keep or hope to obtain?
