What do you collect?

Question is above.

I collect dimes, (Roosies and Mercurys) from circulation or from sets.
So, what do you collect?

EDIT: I forgot a poll, but I don't need one!

I collect U.S., World and mostly Ancients.

 

I collect Toned Roosevelt dimes at any chance I get and also toned barber quarters and 3 cents all in GEM conditions. However, for the past couple of weeks, I have dedicated my time to collecting modern coinage and fill all my Dansco Albums.

 

Jefferson Nickels

 

Barber Quarters and Halves, Standing Liberty Quarters, and Charlotte and Dahlonega Half Eagles.

 

Icelandic rare coins, tokens, varieties,medals and errors

 

Mainly Bust half dollars, bust dimes, bust quarters and early silver dollars. My wife collects proof three cent nickels.

 

UK coins from celtic to modern day, general world in particular german states and france, also bank notes from scotland, france and general world issues..........i do not collect non circulating legal tender crap from the likes of liberia, somalia, etc etc etc

 

Silver [old us coins] and copper [pre 1982] coins for their bullion - same with nickels. As well as wheaties/indian heads. sometimes i like to buy very old coins from other countries on eBay b/c they look interesting

 

I'd like to see some photos of your Celtic coins!

I pretty much collect whatever catches my eye. I have tried many times to focus on one series but just cant seem to do it. There are just so many cool coins both US and World I gave up trying to limit myself to one type.

 

I agree with you. It is very difficult and I too have a hard time completing a series. There are just too many nice pieces out there including old silver world coinage that I have to add to my collection.

 

All US coin and currency as well as some ancients.

 

I mainly collect certain 1-oz silver art bars but I also collect hobo nickels.

 

I collect mainly, bills and more bills (anyone want to pay some for me) and I also collect US & World coins and banknotes

 

modern commemoratives and bullion coins, morgans and peace dollars. Mexican silver, Australian silver and Scandinavian coins.

 

I collect:
-U.S. coins and currency.
-Philippines coins and currency during the time while they were under U.S. sovereignty.
-Foreign coins that have designs similar to those depicted on U.S. pieces.

 

My active collections are:
Classic Head Half Cents (3 to go)
Draped Bust Half Dime die marriages (just started)
1792-1964 Cu/Ni/Ag Type Set (only one more that I can afford)
Early Commemoratives (back burner)

 

I'm big on Lincoln cents, mostly rare dates and early Proofs. I also collect Mercury dimes, trying to complete an album of them. I'm starting to get a sort of an itch for Morgan dollars. I just collect rare dates of any series, I don't focus on one main series when there's tons of them out there. Like one month I'll be collecting Mercury dimes and the next month I'll be collecting rare cents, etc. But my main goal isn't the listed above, my goal for this year is a Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, common date certified in atleast MS-64.

 

Mostly US circulating coins from the 20th century, from the Lincoln cent up to Kennedy Halves and everything in between. But I also collect Morgan and Peace Dollars. So far I've been completing albums by series/date/mintmark until I fill the album. I try to put each set together in roughly the same grade.
I'm looking to get started in the Barber series; dimes, quarters and half dollars next. I hear they can be a challenge, especially in higher grades. I might start off in VF/XF.

 

i started out with newer coins but have since fallin in love with coins from the 1800's,mostly silver,i love when the field is dark but the letters and features are still brite silver,,,
