I have a sampling of a lot of different types of coins, but the majority of my collection is in Lincoln wheat cents. The thing I like about them is that they are very inexpensive, especially since I roll hunt and get them for face. I have around 1000 wheats that I've pulled from bank rolls.

Second place would be the Jefferson nickel; I have almost a full set from circulation, plus quite a hoard of pre-1960's.

I have a small set of Washington's, which includes 21 silvers.

I also dabble a little in Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, and Kennedy halves, but Lincoln wheat cents dominate any other type in my collection, at least right now.

My small collection is exclusively gold indian head eagles. Both $5 and $2.5 denominations- with the exception of a couple of random coins.

For some reason I'm just attracted to those BLP Indian head eagles.

1. Lincolns mostly from roll hunting but I've bought most of the key dates. 2. Walking Liberties. I have 4 complete sets but I'm always upgrading when I can afford to. 3. Mercury dimes, same thing as the WL's.

I do collect (or hoard depending on how you look at it) silver quarters, halves, and Morgan and Peace dollars. I'm a little leary when it comes to Morgans and Peace dollars since I don't know enough about them to be able to spot a counterfeit other than to weigh them and test them with a magnet.

I'm not going to count my hoard of pre-'82 Lincoln cents left over from roll hunting. So, I guess most of my collection consists of British, German, and Scandinavian, silver, bronze and copper.

Mainly War Nickels. They're cheap and a memorial of WWII I see them going up in value in the future.
