<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 628772, member: 8033&quot;]Can&#039;t say I &quot;hate&quot; any coin series. There are many I don&#039;t care for and don&#039;t collect for that reason but hate is a strong word.</p><p><br /></p><p>Never liked Susan B dollars. Let&#039;s face it. A dollar the size of a quarter and she wasn&#039;t exactly a babe. I own several that I bought cheap on impulse.</p><p>Sacagaweas. Another &quot;garbage&quot; dollar coin to me as well. Nice enough looking coin and I own a few but just not real functional IMHO as goes with the Presidential dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Practically any &quot;modern&quot; coin and even the ones that have been in circulation as far back as 1909 don&#039;t do a great deal for me. Still I have thousands of them so I guess I don&#039;t &quot;hate&quot; them.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about a few surprises from me? How about Buffalo Nickels and Standing Liberty Quarters. Odd wouldn&#039;t most of you think? Here&#039;s what I &quot;hate&quot; about them. Many, including myself, would put these as two of the most BEAUTIFUL coins this country has produced.</p><p>My problem? Why weren&#039;t the design flaws fixed earlier if at all? In the past week I&nbsp; have gone through literally thousands of Buffalos to separate them into full, parial and no date examples. I managed to put together a group of 2000 full dates for the boss to sell to another dealer, at least 1000 partial dates and about the same in no dates.</p><p>The series ran for 25 years and it was never corrected. I also bought 7 common date high end AUs while I was at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Standing Liberties? Same thing. A stunning coin in BU for sure. I recently went through several hundred in a large hoard. OVER half had no dates. Strong mintmarks and often F12 detail but NO dates. They fixed that glitch in 1925 yet I wonder what the dates WERE on some that I looked through. I put several 1917-S Type I in 2x2s. I only knew what they were by the mintmark and reverse. Date was long gone.</p><p>I bought two 1927-D today. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t like dimes in general. Too dang small for my vision. I have over a thousand but mainly for the silver.</p><p>Now give me a nice half dime or a 3 Cent Silver and I love em. Smaller but cooler.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve rambled enough but the point is I think most of here tend to like coins in general. Just some more than others. Everyone has their reasons and if you live for Susan Bs more power to you.</p><p>All coins are good in some aspect. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
