[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1448183, member: 26302"]I didn't vote since I have way too many collections of different timeframes. Basically, I would have chosen "all of the above except modern ultra high grade". I have some, but don't care what the grade is at all. I love good condition coins, like we all do, but simply don't obsess about it. Maybe its because I don't limit myself to a tiny little population to collect. No human can probably ever assemble a complete US collection again, and I collect coins from all over the world and all time frames, so "completeness" is never even a remote possibility, so I collect what I like.

If you wanted an answer just for my US coins, for most of mine I loved AU, (back before they started slabbing them BU).
