Not sure if you have me confused with Jbuck. Probably. I can count the Morgan dollars I have on one hand.  As for Eiesenhower Dollars...  |

I like collecting nickels but Lately I've been thinking about collecting the silver Roosevelt dimes because a full set in circulated condition is less than $100.

A good idea. I like my Roosevelt dime set. Light weight and easy to complete. |

stuck on cents/pennies. getting US large cents/small cents, then moved to Canada (including Newfoundland, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) and British pennies. Lots in those three countries to keep me busy for a long while. edit: oh, and I'm working (slowly) on Three Cent pieces--got most of the nickel ones and starting down the silver path.

I would definitely have to vote the dollar as my favorite with a set of date/mint mark business strike dollars from 1878 through 2015, and proof dollars from 1971 through 2015. Being a Morgan addict, I'd have to vote the Morgan dollar as my favorite among them. |

Yes, I got confused over who had the almost full Morgan Set. What condition are most of your Morgans in because quite a few are just not affordable to most mortals in MS condition including that 1893S. However, it is quite an accomplishment to have gotten as far as you have gotten. In MS60 a mere 120,000 for 1893S. No matter what condition you get them in you have quite an investment in time and money and weight. Are you wanting badly to finish your collection? You are a short timer so to speak with the end so near. I have a LSQ collection and I have 5 coins left to collect and all are expensive even if I can find them in just fine condition with a readable date.

Terry Trying not to take away from this thread. I do have a dollar date set album that long time goal is to get AU/BU grades. The full set will be more circulated mix grades, with some BU's. Here is the thread from when I started, I hope I can do a update thread sometime in the near future. https://goccf.com/t/227115&whichpage=1I have to say I was inspired to do a full set by another CCF member (Ralph), I think he has three complete sets. |

GR58 - happy to hear you were inspired by my collection of Morgan dollars.....little correction though - when I can afford another 1893S, I'll have completed five sets.....I'm still trying to upgrade my # 1 set - right now I've got it within the grade range of VF through MS (except for the 1893S - G-4) and the upgraded coins wind up trickling down into the succeeding sets - love those Morgan dollars. Of course, we're talking lots and lots of years collecting Morgans to get where I am in my collecting - won't even venture into the expense - but coin collecting is an amazing hobby that has brought me a great deal of pleasure/enjoyment over the years, so the expense is secondary. |

This has been a very long "1 Week 7 Days" poll. Dollars are still leading.  |

In traditional circulating coinage-- definitely the 50 cent piece! Big enough to see the beautiful designs plus you can collect Kennedy, Franklin, Walking and Liberty head all without extra super expensive keys (in circulated condition anyway).
But the dollar is a close second because of the modern commemorative dollars. Fun to collect, big enough to see the designs and keep you busy for years.

canadinacoincollector, looks like you resurrected your own thread. cents are my first love and while I have moved on, I still would love to finish my circulated date/mint mark series that is only a few shy of being complete.

Interesting to see the results so far, but perhaps not too surprising.
With the silver coins the results are conformal with the leading half of a statistical bell curve, rising by denomonation.
