You know, since people are saying the types of cars also, I would want a 2013 mustang.

I chose the rarer coin in the lower grade. Although I would try to get the highest grade that I could afford. I really like XF-AU coins. They have nice eye appeal and are more reasonably priced.

The problem with collecting old cars is they take up too much space! That is why I collect coins.

I choose a third option, not appearing in this poll.

Given a fixed budget, and forced to choose between the two, I'd pick a high grade non-rare example.

But.. I'd prefer buying many low grade common examples.

I guess this is why I have thousands of coins, but only few of them are worth over the 100$ mark.

Such a tough question and "it depends" is such a lame answer.
I will say the 1864 L is one of my favorite coins and I need to upgrade my VG 10 example
(you can see the L though).

Talk about dumb kid, I had a '69GTO, '68 firebird, '57 hardtop and 4 door version, and a '69 dodge dart;
yeah there all gone.I'm sure a lot of us had cars as kids we wish we held on to.

I'm with you upstate. my first car was a 67 fastback mustang GL with a 289 hi-performance engine. then I upgraded to a 68 corvette big block 427 side pipes, fuel injected, holly 750. that was one bad car. wish I had both of them back...stupid kids, had no idea what I had.
