How about these Richard, are you sure that you want the competition?  Quote:
So far, people are predictably advising their own specialties. Or obsessions... like the Eisenhower dollar, for example.  |

I would recommend a U.S. type set. In the past I have done type sets of other countries and found that a very enjoyable way to go. Lots of history and fun to collect.
Tomorrow starts the 7070 (Dansco's album number for the U.S. type set) post by members. Each day we will post photos of coins we have in our sets. This will give you an idea of what a set would consist of.

I specialize in everything, lol. Seriously, I've probably had more fun working towards filling a 7070 type set than I have almost every other set except my first set - USA cents, beginning with the Wheat cent and expanding to LMC's, Indian heads, and the flying eagle and now the shield cent. |

There's no need to commit to a particular collection until you feel you're ready. You could try putting together a birth year set -- one of each coin from each mint for a particular year. And then you could do another set from a hundred year previous (like 1970 and 1870). I think it would be reasonably easy to put together a set of the State Quarters. I think it would be fun and while you're doing that you can save for old gold coins or whatever else you decide you like best. |

If you like silver there is something to be said for size. Silver dollars are among hundreds of "crown size" silver coins made in dozens of countries. The Morgan dollar is most popular among US collectors but there are other types. The Seated Liberty design was used on all silver denominations in the 1800's and bears more than a passing resemblance to the seated figure of Britannia used on some British coins. Here's an example:   |

I always enjoy Jaoblers posts. They are knowledgeable and are often accompanied by tremendous images of coins. Great Seated dollar. |

Your other examples are also very pleasing.
