    Lincoln Cents
    Morgan Dollars
    Buffalo Nickels (L@@K to the left)
    Washington Quarters (including the new state quarters)
    Dimes (especially Mercs)

    At least that is what I see...maybe it is not in that order, but you get the picture.

    I think Indian Heads and Liberty nickels need to be added to that list. :)

    Hmmm, that would make it the top eight instead of the top 5, now wouldn't it? ;)

    I think Ed Zak is purt near on the money (pun intended) and in the correct order too. The only difference in our lists might be number 5. I think it should be Winged Liberty Dimes (OK Mercury Dimes then) because I'm not sure there are that many Roosy collectors.

    just my $0.02 worth,....

    I think there are more Indian Head collectors than Washington quarter collectors.

    Not even close Susan - think about it. The so called State Quarters are the single most collected series that has ever been - reportedly over 100 million collectors. And every single one of them has Washington on the obverse ;)

    True, but I guess you realized that I hadn't considered the Statehood quarters with my prior statement. In which case, you are absolutely right (but it is a very recent change :p )
