Not Sure What I Should Hoard/ Collect Next

I'm having a lot more fun putting together a Peace dollar set than I was when I was buying morgans. Not every single coin shop has millions of Peace dollars and theres not ebay listings ending every single second for them, and I like that, for whatever reason.

I can't get silver Ike's near spot around me, I have been trying. All of them seem to be $10-12 even damaged. I was also never a fan of the candian voyager silver dollars design. I would be tempted by the quarters though.

I recently completed a silver Rosie collection out of junk boxes and it's left a hole in my heart for raiding junk boxes. I'm also getting far along on my mercury collection but there is no way I can find the dates I need from the junk boxes anymore.

I can't collect Franklin halves since my significant other collects them at the same time as me and we don't want to compete. I have a feeling that one day I will buy their collection from them if they loose interest. Right now I usually help them pick out each coin to match my standards and gain a sense of how to grade a coin haha.

I'm leaning towards collecting silver dollars. Peace and morgan. I just love the image of silver dollars sitting in old bank vaults. I like the Wild West image of the Morgan and the flapper Art Deco women and eagle on the Peace dollar. I definitly plan on collecting circulated coins that I can stack and handle raw a bit without having to worry too much about them.

Yes. . . . yes, there is.




AWESOME. I know exactly what you mean. Please, Bertensgrad, stare at the picture below. I know which stack is calling to you. . . .

I always say I wanna stack or hoard more it never happens. I always wanna type coin for my 7070 or something else. I only own 2 morgans and they are both in my type sets, same goes for the Peace dollars and the Walking Liberty halves. I started a franklin set so at least I have 5 of those. Heck the next 2 morgans and Peace dollars I get will be for type sets. So I guess doing type sets makes sure I have a few of them.

That wouldn't do I have a silver bug, and just can't stand toned copper besides large British pennies. I have never met a 90% silver coin I haven't liked. Toned over blast white.

I like to collect silver and gold coins. These coins actually have some value besides what government puts on them. A copper, silver clad, coin just does nothing for me. My brother has a beautiful collection of Ike Silver dollars, however, and they are nice. I bought them at an auction for peanuts and gave them to him for his birthday. Now I wish I had them back.

I came to a half way decision today and bought three nicely toned walkers and a used dansco for them for $26. It was the same price as their lower grade Morgans haha.

My favorite set as been Mercury dimes so I felt they were a good counterpart to them. I also collect Buffalo nickels and lincoln wheat cents so the time period matched well beyond the same designer. I might still get some silver dollars on special events buts I like the volume of walkers for prices.
