<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 3995453, member: 33215"]I collect US coins. But to be more specific, I collect anything that catches my eye. I love going to coin shows and looking through everything the dealer has, and maybe buying a few coins here and there. They just have to jump out at me. Mostly I lean toward toned coins, toned proofs, mercury dimes, and Lincoln cents. And to this day I refuse to buy a morgan dollar. IMO it is an ugly design and "stunning" toned examples are a dime a dozen yet command crazy premiums. The few I do have were gifts that will be cherished forever though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently the collections I am working on include my Lincoln cent Dansco ( trying to fill all the wheat and memorial cents with their proof counterpart rather than a MS. (Likely never going to do the matte proof wheats.)). Also, two 1942 proof sets, one graded and one raw; and a proof mercury dime run. And then I have my binder which include miscellaneous US coins that don't belong to a collection. Mostly consisting of coins that I just "have to have".</p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, I thought my answer was going to be short and sweet.
