<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2318689, member: 70703&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t say that there is a specific genre of coin that I DON&#039;T like. I try not to close my mind off too much, you never know what coolness is around the corner waiting you to discover it in this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I haven&#039;t been bitten by the ancient bug or the world bug. I primarily stick to US coinage because its what I&#039;ve learned and retained the most information about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly enough at the beginning, I was not really into post 1964 U. S. Coinage. I had the typical reaction and sentiment most usually do. However, that is mostly what I&#039;ve been able to get my hands on for selling on eBay and other venues and I have to say that its grown on me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think what I was turning my nose up at when I first started collecting, and had this attitude toward modern stuff, it was because of what I saw in change. 30-50 year old coins that have been beat up and have no eye appeal. Every once in a while I&#039;d come across a really old nickel or cent that looked cool because of the wear, or the fact that it was in such good shape for its age, but I was pretty put off with the category in general. However, sifting through uncirculated modern pieces day after day and putting sets together because its what I could do for the time being, I&#039;ve gained appreciation for the category. An uncirculated 1969 Washington quarter or a well struck 1990s Lincoln memorial cent, to me is till nice to look at and enjoy. Also my circulated folders have to be one of my favorite parts of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>All this to say, while at some point I would have said US Modern Coins are some that I&#039;m NOT into, that has changed for me. Knowing this, I&#039;m not turning my nose down at anything, just making the choice to spend my time on other categories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
