<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1181967, member: 25357&quot;]That&#039;s a great list Wingedlib. And I love your photos. However I would re-name that list the &quot;10 most popular US coin series&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think that there are some fairly expensive series in that list that might scare away brand new collectors. The Morgans come to mind. There are a handfull of key dates in that series that run you $500-1000 and up, even for lower grade specimens. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMO the top ten US coin series for new collectors would have to include Lincoln Cents, Washington Quarters, Jefferson Nickels, or even Buffalo Nickels and Mercury Dimes. Some of those series are still found in circulation, and so can be a great intro to the hobby as new collectors roll search or dig through their change to start out their sets. Then as they get more familiar with numismatics, they can start Buffs or Mercs without spending a whole lot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then, as they gain an appreciation for the hobby, they could start Morgans and ASEs and some of the other coin series you listed. That way they&#039;ve built some knowledge at relatively low cost before they dive in with the high dollar series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
