Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 11:35 pm Top 10 Collector Coins - " The Key Coins for Every Collection Quote: Published on Sep 22, 2014 Which coins are the most popular coins to start a collection? PCGS has the answer. Based on data from our website, we've compiled a definitive list of the top 10 Collector Coins. Chances are many of you started with the coins on this list. These are the key dates, most wanted by series collectors. See if you agree with the selections. JwJ394gXYIo Report this Post to the Staff

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 01:50 am Who is this "us" they speak of? Must be some elitist club they are talking about that doesn't represent the whole but jsut a niche of coin collectors. I disagree that ANY of these coins are popular to start a collection with. The most popular are just what the average collector find to spark the persons fancy that gets them started. I think it is misleading on the claims and should jsut talk about the fact it is error and key dates. the comment of the video is very wrong, unless it is calling circulation/ungraded coin collectors to be NOT REAL collectors.

Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 06:54 am I think the title could have been worded better. Ironically a friend and I just had a conversation about these exact coins the other night. We concluded there are the investment collectors and those that collect for just the love of the hobby. These are probably some the top active investment coins, -many of us have longed for one of these at some time or other. (Remember searching through those pennies, nickels or dimes when you were a kid?) Still are? These will probably all be worth substantially more in the future. Just comparing to some commens, errors or the wildly popular moderns like State Quarters. (I have many and always will). JMHO Edited by Night-Hawk 09/23/2014 06:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 09:52 am Wow I'm surprised I even have three of them, not that I care about any of those three. (Don't care about any of the other seven either.) There are a lot of coins I'd much rather have. Report this Post to the Staff
junjun Pillar of the Community Puerto Rico 778 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 5:41 pm I also have three of them but don't consider myself elitist. I'm just a collector. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 8:11 pm I don't see any problem with that list. I only have 4 of them, but would not mind having a example of all 10. Is PCGS saying this list .. based on coins sent in? If I had a list, might be different. Off the top of my head, coins I think most collectors could put together ...of course if they wanted. Classic 1878 CC Morgan 1921 Peace 1916 Walker 1917 Standing lib quarter TY I 1932 D Washington 1916 D Mercury 1913 S Buffalo TY I 1939 D Jefferson (high grade) 1909 S VDB Lincoln 1877 Indian Head cent Modern 2011 Reverse proof American silver Eagle 2008 Rev of 07 American silver eagle 2007 Washington dollar no edge letters 1996 High jump Olympic dollar 19xx Franklin DCAM proof 1998 S matte proof Kennedy 2004 D Wisconsin extra leaf quarter 1996 W Roosevelt 1997 matte proof Jefferson 1970 S Lincoln small date I am sure everyone would have their own list ...

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 05:20 am Quote: don't consider myself elitist. I'm just a collector. The problem is the stuck up attitude in the video that makes it sound like "if you don't have one of these, then you aren't a REAL coin collector". Not that people having them are elitist, just the dialog used and the elitist attitude of these sorts of places. You know because that 10 year old that just got a Wheat cent last week and got interested in coins either must now rush out to get those 10 coins listed or not be considered as a REAL collector. It might as well have been recorded by Gabriel Byrnes character as if talking to Steve Martins character from "Simple Twist of Fate". but being a coin grading service made the video it probably thought its audience demographic or rich snooty collectors that go to auctions to buy slabbed PCGS coin for a couple million would be the only ones to see it. Us peasants that are on a forum where ~gasp~ CRH is discussed, are just lucky to be able to see the video. Report this Post to the Staff
