    This question popped into my head and I'm curious as to what is the most popular collecting niche here..

    I voted US Coins, based on the word "Primary" (& my tonnage versus the others), with the caveat that I am not bare in any of those categories. :smuggrin::singing:;)

    I said other, my main focus is pre Federal, colonial and state coinage. Particularly Connecticut coppers but I dabble in others as well.

    Primary collection is error FRN star notes. Secondary is error coins of any country. Star0074.jpg

    Fifty years I had been a fully content US collector….. Then I discovered CT and have since wondered off the straight and narrow.

    I have collecting interests in all of the choices shown in the survey plus a few more.

    I don't have one. :)

    Not one primary focus, anyway.

    Essentially, if I like it, I collect it.

    I'm a real sucker for pretty shiny coins. I like cents, dimes (Pre-FDR), quarters, halves, and American Silver Eagle One Ounce Proof Coins and Uncirculated ones as well. Ever since I bought Mercanti's American Silver Eagles book, "American Silver Eagles, A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Coin Program, 4th Edition.

    Eye appeal is my focus. It can be an ancient a token or a US coin, even a modern.

    this is the boat I find myself in. Several ancients without any real focus, foreign, and US. I do have a couple collection ls I am working on with US coins, but I have affordable ones for those. That’s when my attention starts to wander.

    I don't have a primary interest anymore. I have a hoard that grows weekly.

    Just look at the number of post in each forum. That should give you an idea of what is most popular.

    As a side collection I am accumulating coin club tokens and medals as well as spinner tokens. I like o collect things that I know I will never get a complete "set" of. I don't even know how many of these items have been produced, but I bet it is a boat load!!
