What coin excites you right now?

I did notice that 1824/2 JR-2. Very scarce die marriage.

I have in the past been accused of being a little fanatical about 1827 bust halves. I don't know why...doesn't EVERYONE have a couple of hundred of them?

 

German 5 Mark stand out here but except for the common states they can get expensive. There are also all the various mints of the Mexico 8 reals. You will never run out of coins to find.

 

Right now? EAC. I just picked a 1797 Large Cent that could be a rare S-121a.

Usually I’m interested in obscure scarce Seated coins, Liberty gold, and UK coins.

 

Jake, that is the one coin I need to complete a 1940 - 1964 uncirculated set! They do seem to appear less often than many others.

 

I need to get my 7070 CBH's but I cant find any within my price range. Or at least I cant find any nice coins in my price range ha.

I think you just told the whole world you focus on greed and have few friends

 

Super glad for you

 

Whenever I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near (such a fickle fellow).....

 

Your a hunk

 

We've got to stop meeting like this.........

 

Cheech you devil!

 

I've been on a gold kick lately.

 

My favorite at this time are any Morgans (like many collectors) I have a lot of them.
Next would be Walkers in high grade only, lower grade were my first coins to collect back in the 60's

 

A friend has a higher end collection of Standing Lib quarters , may go there next.??

 

you can get some cheap in low grades but if you want AU or XF you're gonna to be paying a pretty penny for them.

 

Right now, and I can't figure out why, are the cupro-nickel 5 shilling and 25p crowns from the UK. Probably stems in part from my fascination with the Monarchy, and also my interest in the Pound Sterling, particularly the old £sd system.

In fact, today's pocket piece du jour is a 1960 crown that was part of a lot of 3 I bought on Ebay for $4 a few months ago.

 

Some of the first coins I ever connected were those old (80s maybe) British pound coins. The really thick heavy ones ha I wonder where those went d:

 

Yep I try to avoid low grade coins, I want each one of them to look decent in the book.

 

For my first 7070 I've been buying as nice as I can but I bought some damaged coins in xf+ details for ten or less so I really liked those for now and then I'll Upgrade later. But I'm making a damaged coin 7070 called the life of a coin ha
