I'm a Peace dollar collector myself...collection is on hold for now...but that's another post... Also into Franklins.
I have a complete XF/AU set of Franklins and just sent a proof off to ANACS in my last shipment (2 free graded coins! YAHOO!). I dare say it's close to perfect - if not. Of course I'm not a professional grader, but I am optimistic. ACK! I just saw that Jerry bumped me out of 2nd place with his "pretty" MS65's yesterday. Ah well, I do what I can afford!
I'm concentrating on a type set, while working on putting two others together. Specializing in Frankin half dollars and proofs, and all 1812,1912, and 2012 coinage for those years. Plus a subset of key date nickels. I take my time with each one and due to this thread have learned a lot about many varieties of coins and types and what to look out for. Thanks a bunch coin talkers!.

Love this topic - I'm not sure I have much of a specialty. I collect modern U.S. and U.K., and Medieval English pennies
This thread is a great idea. I specialize in die varieties of the Indian Head and Flying Eagle Cent series. I'd love to answer any questions you may have, or forward them to others who may know. You can find our website and contact info in my signature. Happy hunting!!
