1964 nickel's. I know they are among the highest mintage's ever, and of no particular premium. I have over 1000 each (P&D). all collected from circulation nearly all grades (even as high as AU)

I find this side of collecting interesting for some reason. Quote:
I like to collect coins specifically from 1939, the year of a World's Fair in both New York and San Francisco. That is an interesting reason. Do you collect just the coins or do you collect other world's fair stuff too? Why the World's fair? Quote:
1964 nickel's. I know they are among the highest mintage's ever, and of no particular premium That is interesting as well. Why only the nickels and not anything from that year? And why 1964 and not some other year? Aren't I just a nosy parker? :) |

I've had problems acquiring my birth year coins, 1844.

malissadawn: the question was simply do you have a favorite year. I actually collect many coins/years/types. I actually have many thousands of coins. 6-7 thousand wheat's, several thousand pre 1981 cents, 5 - 6 thousand nickles, and far fewer dimes, quarters, and halves, plus proofs and uncirculated sets. for some reason the 1964 nickel just caught my attention. possibly anyone that is enthusiastic enough to join a forum (such as this one) might be guilty of having a few quirks.

I have not collected coins specifically from my birth year, nor from a specific year I "feel close to" I don't descriminate, I love all coins equally!  |

I have a fondness for the 1875 and 6 business strike Twenty Cent Pieces. I also collect my birth year coins from 1953, including an unopened mint set, a variety of proof coins, and UNC red seal $2 bills from each series. I am also working on completing a collection of each coin denomination, without regard to mint mark, from 1853, currently owning one of each coin from the Half Cent through the gold eagle of that year. I just need the double eagle to complete it. Maybe then I will start working on the various mint marks. I guess I overshot, here.....two years and type. Sorry. |

I find myself gravitating toward war coinage, particularly Civil War (1861-1865) and WII (1941-1945) since these wars seemed to affect U.S. coinage the most. I love a good War Nickel and have a growing group of civil war tokens. |
