I found the Jefferson nickel (with proofs) set to be the most fun out of that list. JFKs (with proofs) would be my second. While the set would cost more to build, I don't think it's nearly as challenging as the Jeffs. Not on that list, but a fun set is the ASE business strikes. Harder to build than you might think. |

That's a difficult question with too many choices. I collect all of them to some degree, and what my favorite is depends on my mood, the moon cycle, what catches my eye at the LCS, etc. . . . Good answer. Same for me. Since I have nearly complete business collections of cents and nickels, I suppose those. But I've been expanding more into other coins in the last couple of years so some of those as well. My very favorite collection is my Mercury dime set. I'm only missing the 42/41. But that wasn't a choice. |

My vote is with the Washington quarters. I have quite a few now including some proof coins as well. |

I like collecting Lincolns, it's just that the set is SSOOOOOOO friggin big, expensive,
and in the end that makes it boring. You have to pick a set, at least for your first
few sets, that you can see yourself finishing, and even see yourself finishing an EXCEPTIONAL
set (which is why the Jeffs are so nice... an EXCEPTIONALLY nice set is not a pipedream, nor
a lifelong process).

I have to disagree Ratio. I've gotten about 6 "nice" complete memorial sets @ cost by CRH within a few months. If it wasn't for that pesky VDB-S I'd have multiple "complete" Lincoln sets.

Kennedy half dollars (P&D business strikes, with the 1976-S silver unc). There are several others out of that list, including Ikes, Franklins, ATB, and SBA that I'm working on or have completed, but the Kennedys are my big project right now. Down to under a dozen left to go.

JFKs - definitely. Especially with this last run of 2014 specialty pieces. I also like (but am on a hiatus) roll searching them as DDOs and silver still can be found. I know silver quarters, dimes, and nickels can also be found, but I just guess I like finding a larger piece of silver when I encounter one.
Besides that, since JFKs are not favorites with a lot of people, I think this is why I can still find more DDOs etc. And, for icing (although I do not appreciate his personal life) I loved his politics - hey - it put a man on the moon!

I with u 42 I enjoy collecting JFK and yes there's silver out there. I'm always on the look out for JFK I'm a banker so naturally I'm expose to all kinds of currency. The coin pics are from one deposit (64-69)   |

I love my Lincolns...I have 4 big sorter boxes full of them ! I believe someday they will be collectors items when they stop minting the penny. And I just love to make fun of his hair as it sometimes looks like he is having a bad hair day. Plus I can afford him ! |

Real type set (including ALL circulation commems), not the Dansco one. I like variety.

I mainly collect Lincoln cents but have all of the coins you listed in your poll. I was going to pick Lincoln cents but I clicked on view results first and then it would not let me vote  John1  |
