Favorite Coin To Collect

I'll make a more in depth pole another time guys:)

No IHC? *sigh*

Well, of the listed choices, I'd say Merc dimes. Every time I hold one, I think of my grandpas--both were in WWII (Grandpa John was a ship's cook in the Navy; the Grampa you guys hear me talk about was an Army private stationed in Okinawa, Japan), and for some reason when I hold a Merc dime I always feel close to them both and feel very strongly that the coin in my hand might once have bought one of my grampas a sandwich and a cup of coffee on his safe return home. I never get this feeling with buffs, early wheats, etc.--only Mercs. Who knows why? I don't, but I adore my grampa and miss Grandpa John dearly, so anything that makes me feel close to them is good by me.

you don't have capped bust half dollars

I voted morgans as second best

None of the above: 2-3-20 cent pieces are all in my ballpark. How about 19th century Proofs, too?

Pretty much all 19th Century type coins get my juices flowing. I went with large cents but would have likely gone with capped bust coins. Dimes, Half Dimes, or half dollars if they were options.

1826 to 1838 is a sweet spot for me in case my avatar wasn't a give away.

affordable coins

On your list, I chose Large Cents :-)
