january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 10/03/2013 11:36 am I have much more world than US coins (though admittedly I do appear to have more coins from the US than from any other individual country except USSR and the Russian Federation). Restricting to US coins... well, in terms of sheer quantity, there's probably just barely more Lincoln cents than State Quarters (both are likely in the 60-80 range), and I'm not sure on Lincoln cents vs. Washington quarters or State Quarters vs. wheat cents (though I'd bet on the former in either pair). As for value, my ~XF 1841 large cent (plus another Braided Hair large cent in lower grade, plus a dateless Matron Head) probably beats any other US type I have Report this Post to the Staff
Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 10/03/2013 8:48 pm I started collecting Walkers and Franklins years ago and a majority of what I have is probably in them. Nothing special in the sets really - but they have always been my favorites. Next would be commemoratives modern and classic. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 06:19 am This poll is coming out about the way I thought it would. About half have the bulk of their collection in modern coins. Though I would not be surprised if it went to a higher number. Of course not a surprise that one member said Quote: I'm the only one so far that said Colonial :-) Not surprised his bulk is in Colonial ... but a little surprised he is the only one. It is interesting how some members are focused in on one or two series. Report this Post to the Staff
Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 10:21 pm With over 1300 wheats alone, more than every other coin in my US collection combined... yeah, first one XD Report this Post to the Staff
Superhal Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 10:25 pm Quantity: Copper cents, pre 82. Quality: A few gold coins. Weight: Over 20 ozt of silver, bars and junk. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 10:37 pm Quantity: Lincoln cents for sure. I hoarded a lot of junk as a YN including 40+ rolls of steel pennies and likely a few thousand average circulated wheat cents. Quality: Looking at my spreadsheet Capped Bust Halves, Quarters, Dimes, and Half Dimes make up around 20% of the value of my collection. Seated Liberty coins are a close second.

chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 10/05/2013 07:25 am I collect all US coinage. As far as what makes up the majority of it, I would have to say my 300-400 Morgans & Peace dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 3:42 pm I don't see a place for it, but I would define my collection as a set of high grade "type" coins. My goal is to collect the highest grade I can reasonably afford of each type of US coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Superhal Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 07:22 am Rolled my copper pennies, came out to 7 rolls plus about 30-40 loose. Increased my silver holdings to 1.3 kg + a 1970 Kennedy half and a Barber dime. Report this Post to the Staff
stud722 Pillar of the Community United States 1088 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 11:48 am I mainly enjoy collecting world coins but I do also dabble in US coins. I usually pull coins out of circulations so the majority of my US coins are Lincolns, Jeffersons, Kennedy, Roosies, Washingtons. Some day, I would like to extend my collect to the "older" US coins.
