I have a small selection of hammered silver coins. I like to collect the continental imitations/ contemporary forgeries (from the likes of Gaucher de Chatillon / Valeran II of Ligny etc..- I find it quite an interesting sub-category . Also like the 'Tealby' type pennies - renowned for their poor strike quality but have a great cross and crosslets obverse design. Just pic them up as and when I come across them. Sorry for pic quality in advance.
