I went with Middle Line. At the moment, I am focusing on Liberty nickels but I have no problem with filling a hole or two in my more recent sets

This is my first and maybe last attempt at a poll question. Found it hard to put collecting into categories|| I personally have just entered the middle of the line. With future hopes of high end when silver & gold come down in price.

Seeking: Hope you find this poll interesting

Had to pick low end. Maybe once I'm finished with college and make my millions maybe then I'll buy some rare/expensive coins.

I voted "all of them".

I went to the coin dealer the other day. Bought one "high item" (an Edward III groat), two "middle items" (both Gallic Empire antoninianii) and spent half an our rummaging through his "world coins 20¢ each" scratchtrays.

They're all good.

Middle line I presume. Started buying as a hedge 3 years ago. Smelled the subprime market decay and took a shot at metals. Bought bulk silver anyway I could get it and subsequently switched to silver eagles slabbed and bulk. Now into Mercury dimes, and yes I'm either fickle or crazy!
