What Collecting Area Would You Never Pursue Due To Lack Of Interest?

Almost everything non-US and Canada I would not avidly pursue. A few exceptions are made when things have a great design such as an older silver Florin from Oz, an older one Babloa from Panama, the 1947-48 MX Silver 5 Pesos, and the large Kangaroo cents from Oz. However, I would not go for a date set on any of these either - just one or two are enough.

I have no interest in Presidential dollars, clad state (etc. quarters), and most modern clad. I stopped getting a date and MM in all denominations since about 2000 or so. The exception is I keep a running set of JFKs. Although I am not in the hobby for investment, I also don't care for putting away things that will depreciate in value over time.

I don't want new cents either - even though I like the shield design. They can rot away. Although I did keep the Lincoln set going until 2009.

I quit collecting Canadian by date when the RCM started making so many different quarter designs each year (before our States program started), and when they switched to the current (IMO) non-regal effigy of the Queen ("anyody's Grandmother design").

There are too many interesting older US and Canadian coins that hold my attention to consider other pieces.

I have no interest in modern coins.

Also, I may be the oddball here but I have never liked Barber coinage. I know there is a huge following of this series but the only Barber coins I have are the half, quarter, and dime in my 7070 set.

- Older Asian coins (I'm bad at foreign languages)
- Most ancient coins (other than a denarius or two)
- most exonumia
- most error coins and RPMs
- most non-US NCLTs, especially weird series (examples: World's Most Fearsome Ants or Most Dangerous Bacteria, Comic strip characters, etc.)
- also, I don't usually collect series by date and mintmark (for example: one Barber dime or one 3 dollar gold piece is enough).

I know way too little about ancients to start collecting them on any scale. They are a world on their own and I must confess, I'm a bit scared of them :D

There is no area of numismatics that suffers from a lack of interest.

Some areas that I would never collect? Most areas of numismatics!

I am only interested in COINS that actually circulated and used as MONEY, ancient to modern, up until about 1950.

I acquired my first ancient coin more than 50 years ago. (Silver denarius of Antoninus Pius good VF, for $4)
Way back in 1970, I made a special visit by written invitation to the Coins & Medals Department of the British Museum, to look specifically at Roman gold coins of the first 12 Emperors. I still remember that day as if it was yesterday!

My learning curve is still very steep.

Tokens and medals with the exception of ECU tokens. I'm in coin collecting, not in the military.

I have found a recent fondness for medals, at least the ones in the C&C sets. I do plan to get this release. Other than that, I also keep to the coins.

I feel like the whole world has gone off the deep end with commemoratives since the 80s or 90s. It's fun when you have a few designs to try to collect, but it hurts my head to even think about how large a complete Canadian commemorative set would be.
