I chose "Modern coin collecting" because that is where my roots are and it is the part I regularly maintain. However, I also have a US Type set and a modest (but growing) world coin collection.

Not interested in varieties, ancients or errors though.
Exactly this. Although I doubt I will live long enough to catch up to Steve.  I also include various non-numismatic worldwide tokens plucked from bargain bins. These are cheap fun with endless variety. Particular numismatic favorites include large coppers, 'odd' coins, and 'early' dated pieces. I doubt will ever own more than the few ancients that come my way tangentially. I am already completely in over my head trying to collect Germany from Empire to modern by date and m/m.  |

I picked "bullion" mainly because that's my first priority while I have good income and prices are relatively low. Aside from that, I'm working on a type set, and a few series ( Peace dollars and Franklin halves). |

I fit info multiple of these, but went with type collecting. The reasoning as even on my ancients I really only aim for one of each emperor

Out of these categories I picked Modern Coin Collecting, but that's a bit too narrow for me. I do collect Modern US circulating coinage, along with some Classic US coinage and Canadian cents. I also like to accumulate world coinage if I find any, just because it's different. |

I picked "World" since my main collection is all countries involved in WWII. That collection goes far beyond just coins. It's coins, tokens, camp money, banknotes, emergency money, etc... I've (so far) stayed away from war bonds as that would make it even less likely that I could someday say, "I believe this collection is complete."  |

I collect any United States coins up to 1964 with great eye appeal. The majority are 1933 and before and the majority are XF and AU. Great eye appeal is the number one factor though. Not sure where this fits in the poll. Edited by Tbone
