<p>[QUOTE="Phoenix21, post: 307931, member: 7424"]I prefer US coins, not really sure why. Specifically, I like proofs (especially the older ones), nickels, and wheat cents. I like proofs becuase they are really not like the casual coin. They have that certain attraction that attracts me (for lack of better words). Nickels, because I love that you can still find a lot of older ones in circulation, and they also are just something that have a beauty of there own. Wheats, well, they have always been an favorite of mine. Love finding them in circulation. The earlier ones, I love them in the condition VF/XF, because they still have that sort of sharpness in strike and all. Sort of hard to explain. The later ones (like 30s and on) they don't look as good in VF/XF to me, (Just my opinion), but are beautiful in BU. Also I love a challenge, and that is finding some nice R examples, and keeping them that way. Kind of hard for me to tell why I like what I like, but I did my best. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
