Do You Prefer Mint State Coins Or Circulated Coins?

I think for me it depends on the coin. Something more modern that can be acquired for less? I'd want the nicest coins I can find. A classic set that will be impossible to complete with the rarer coins in high grades? I'd want circulated examples of even the more common coins so that the set looks more uniform.
Plus, I'm not super concerned with the grades of my coins. While mint state coins are nice, I'm in this hobby for the history and the fun of the hunt. Just my Two Cents.

@T-BOP, I imagine more modern coins tell the story of how horrible all the vending machines, parking meters, and coin rollers have been to them. 2020-2021 coins tell a story that no one wanted to touch coins.

@sel691, I'm in the same boat for older coins I think the first high grade set I'm going to start working in is Canadian 10¢ coins 22-36, as well as working on a 1911-1921 quarter set as the others are out of my league to complete. The quarter set is going to take a while so I'll focus on the dimes between 1911-36 and slowly fill wholes for the 11-21 for quarters. I love the look of the coins from this era(I prefer the Vikki's but out of my price range for mid to high grade sets atm I wouldn't mind having a mid high grade set of the 10¢ and 25¢ though. I figured it was about time I started a better set and these sets sound reasonable to obtain for my budget. Maybe I'm starting to like mint grade coins more. I think for me anywhere between vf30-ms65 it's more about eye appeal then grade. I have seen some mid grade coins I liked more then the AU-MS counterparts. I guess eye appeal to me means more then grade.
