At one point I collected a little bit of everything, but now, I only focus on early American copper. I love it.

 

Pretty kitty! I just hope you don't feel as old in 10 years got 3 black cats actually 2 are double pawed

 

The best one I had was Salem he was 7 toed and diabetic he traveled everywhere with me loved people too (unlike me) met thousands in his travels best cat ever didn't mind riding in the car either these pics were in Nashville and in texas

 

Thank you for the replies! I'm also into. old american copper coins and I agree there is never enough money for most of us anyways to keep on getting things we want. For some reason or another i love wheat pennies i have about 2500 of them, again dont have the money for the one I want and probably never will (you should know what wheat penny that is). I'm also really getting into collecting silver eagles. I also just got my first dansco 1909-2009 lincoln cents and have to say im really impressed with the quality of these albums and believe i will be getting more in the future.

 

Double pawed?

 

They cheat at cards.

 

Technical term is polydactyl have extra toes freaky has 6 toes front 5 back Merlin (my avatar) has 6 front and the normal 4 back Salem had 7 front 5 back I joked he could count to 24

 

Let me guess it's the 1943 copper? no 1955 double die? 22 plain? 09 S vdb in ms-67 red?

 

My Favorite Coins Are Those That Fit A Few Shared Characteristics:
1) Composed primarily of a precious metal (if gold, must be NGC graded)
2) Has a relatively low mintage.
3) Is in relatively good condition, higher the better.
4) Un-cleaned.
5) Untoned OR Tarnished (or as close to as possible)

Past that, I collect whatever I feel like. Right now I am working on a gold, MS-Graded Type Set. I am also a bit of a stacker and have this odd compulsion to compile tubes of consecutive year American Silver Eagles and Canadian Maples in airtites. For example, in one tube is 1986-2005 (full), in the tube next to it is 2006-2014(half full). As I said I do the same with maples, and every year it forces me to buy as many of that year's bullion as completed tubes I have to keep each one going. I like the ASE Sets too, finally finished that. The Gold $10 Indian Head Eagle really has my attention now, trying to stack those.
