I guess it would have to silver for me too. Even the circulated silver coins seem to retain a majestic appearance. Plus that distinctive sound of silver when it comes in contact with a hard surface or with other silver coins - nothing else like it in the Coin World.
I like all of them, although in recent years I have become somewhat of a "gold bug." As a type collector have collected "samples" of everything. Of course with I think about "classic coins" my mind runs more to coins from the 1790s and the 19th century.
