Which Coins To Collect

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.

However if I had to pick what I'm focusing on today, it would have to be Kennedys. Jeffersons, ATBs, cents are tied for a close 2nd.

Oh, and , TikiFrance!

As the earlier posters mentioned, it is very difficult to put my finger on just one, but I ended with the Kennedy halves.

I enjoy almost all of the options. In two years, I've managed to complete all of the above with the exception of the Lincoln cents (need 23) and Washington quarters (need 4); and EXCEPT future issues.

For some reason, I'm really looking forward to the Presidential dollars, especially the last ones in 2016. I think the Reagan will be a huge attraction. I also want to see the Kennedy dollar and the return of the Ike dollar, and everybody's favorite: Nixon!

I didn't vote simply because I collect all coins, years, varieties and errors. I don't have a favorite but I find it fun to try and get all the State Quarters and national park quarters from circulation. It can be a little challenging to find them in better condition than what I already have....can't beat trading up for free.

Blame your congressmen.

I voted based on my favorite coin, not the one I have the most of. I have a feeling I know someone else that voted the say way. (see post above)

I'm definitely a big fan of the Eisenhower dollar, it would be my #1 choice for someone new to collecting and it's a personal favorite of mine as well. But, the Kennedy half just baaaaaarely ekes it out as my all-time favorite coin series.

Really, though, you can't go wrong with any of these, although there are a few expensive rarities in the Lincoln Cents and Washington quarter series early on.

What!?

No all of the above?

Franklin halves out of that list. They aren't too modern having been discontinued 51 years ago, you'll probably never see one in circulation and they are all 90% silver.

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.
