I'm a sucker for ????????

Hola everyone,
I was just wondering if there were any coins or sets that you just can't resist picking up even though you might have enough to fill a five gallon bucket. Personally for some reason I can't seem to pass up the U.S. Mint sets. If I stumble across one on fleabay I just can't seem to stop myself. I think I might just like shinny things. So spill it what are your weakness'

All of them! :smile

 

I'm a sucker for wheat cents. I don't necessarily buy them at shows or auction, but I keep evry one I find in circulation.
As far as buying coins go, I can't help my self when I find something out of the ordinary and my habits keep changing. First it was seated dimes and now it's three cent nickels and i've picked up a few shield nickels along the way.

 

BU R wheat cents. Just can't pass up a good one, even though I'd like to get my VF/XF set done, but like dieting, I think we are allowed to cheat every now and then.

Coins.

I haven't spent, rolled or turned in change in over 10 years.
I say I'll get around to going through them some day, but................

 

I wouldnt say thats a weakness.
Thats just plain ol' lazy!

 

Large, silver world coins from the 1960's and below; basically, crown-sized coins prior to when silver was phased out of circulating coinage. Most of 'em have amazing artwork, and usually you can pick up AU/BU examples for pretty much melt! I always go to shows with a specific list of U.S. coins for my type set, but I always end up spending all my money on world coins first, ha.

 

Slap a nice Two Cent Piece in front of me at the right price and it's mine if the wallet will handle it.

 

any SHARP struck pre 59 Lincoln with WOW eye appeal...I have a weakness

 

German silver Marks and 1/2 marks from the late Empire period... can't even tell you why since they are all virtually identical!

 

Ikes

 

1909 VDB's is GEM UNC RED!!!

 

Better hurry up.....price sheets just are not keepin up at all. ( that and I am buying them all, lol )

 

mint state peace dollars. I've got it bad for them.

 

US-Philippine silver. Thankfully, most of its cheap.

 

Coins, medals, tokens etc.. If it's round I have a hard time getting rid of them. I have 2 rolls of unc sacs sitting right here on my desk that I got at the bank. Originally I planned to give them away but so far I just haven't brought myself to do it yet.

 

ummm...........
can anyone guess?

(Hint: Barbers).

 

All coins, guns, knives, swords, spears, flashlights, real cars, Hot Wheel cars, solar lights, etc., etc., etc.
One item I have to many of is Mercury Dimes. Over 3,000 of them.

 

Euros, euros and more euros. Some missing San Marino commemorative or maybe a Vatican BU Set. I'm just talking about some specific kind of coins. In general, world coins that seem "cute" for me, or they are just in a good prize.
And of course, Spanish ones.
