[QUOTE="ghostfire, post: 185572, member: 7462"]Good points. I've collected ancient roman coins for a few years. The historical aspects and pure enjoyment were the main reasons...not so much having the nicest example and certainly not for investment. And in buying I knew it probably wouldn't be easy to liquidate (although I'd like to get something out of my collection one day..but I'm not expecting a "good return"...if I'm looking on a good return for my money I'd be in other investment vehicles). One recent US coin example for me..I purchased a very nice AU50 Half Eagle Classic Head...I love the coin. The reason I was able to buy it was because it has file marks on the rim. For me it doesn't distract from the enjoyment I get out of the coin...and it provides some historical talking points when I show my collection (similar to the "holes" mentioned above). I'm sure my initial question was confusing..and I'm sorry..I knew I should have left "gold" out of it...my Mr. Hyde side put that in. I meant my question to be more along the lines of...what is a collecting area in US coinage that is fairly cheap to collect? Quarters minus the 1796 year? Half Dollars? Indian Cents? regards, Ken[/QUOTE]
