<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 389248, member: 12965"]I like the early american copper mostly. I started buying Morgans & Peace Dollars when I got back into collecting (3 months agao), to only notice the special ones, even if they weren't listed as such, were always found by someone else who had deeper pockets than I so I wandered around until I found coppers and all the wonderful varieties that not many care to learn about or take the time to look up from a coin that's been listed without a variety. I've managed to start a nice collection of mostly scarce or better cents, without spending a fortune for them and if I ever decide to sell them, I will list them properly and make a profit, which makes them a good investment (IMO). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Here's a partial listing of my Draped Bust Cent Collection so far:</p><p> </p><p>1800/79 S-192</p><p>1800 S-199</p><p>1800 S-???</p><p>1801 S-224</p><p>1802 S-226</p><p>1802- S-228</p><p>1802 S-234</p><p>1802 S-235</p><p>1803 S-255</p><p>1803 S-257</p><p>1803 S-261 (scarred neck version)</p><p>1806 S-270</p><p> </p><p>I also have a few half-cents in my collection, along with a few colonial coins (Virginia Penny, New Jersey Cent, Massachusetts Cent, etc...), numerous Condor Tokens and Classic/Matron/Braided Hair Cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have other coins also (silver dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, buffalos, etc...) but I will be selling those so I don't consider them a part of my collection. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> One of the first to go will be that MS-67 1936-D Texas Commemorative I somehow managed to not get out bid on but I don't know what it grey-sheet's for? :goofer: </p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: I have two 1801 DBC's coming in (can't remember the varieties), along with another 1803 S-261, three 1773 Virginia Pennies, a 1792 Kentucky Token, a 1801 Draped Bust Dollar (VF-20 - repaired hole), and several counterstamped early colonial French & Spanish coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
