Mostly foreign commemoratives, most of what I buy is precious metals due to the investment factor. There are a few things I would like as far as US currency, like an original buffalo nickel, mercury dime, any coin that was made from silver. Remember, anything you think is worth anything don't handle it and don't wash it, that takes away from the value.

I will have to check for pre 1964 coins in what I have. Any particular reason for your collection strategy?
