Been here in the coin game nearly a year now, and it's a good day to reflect on things. Here are my major observations:
- Cleaning coins is bad, and they should stopping making one cent coins.
- Having explored both type collecting and series collecting, I think I prefer series. Have not yet decided which to chase next, but going for types is a good way to ferret that out.
- Bust half nut club is a funny name.
- Cameo circulation is the best!
- Larger coins are my preference, quarters at a minimum.
- Silver, not gold. Old copper is nice but never grabbed me in the same way.
- If push comes to shove, I favor rare over high grade.
- Lots of smart and friendly people here. Give yourselves a pat on the back.
- Some day I will want to have good coin photography skills. Not yet, but someday.
That's it for now. I hope to post a completed 7070 in the coming weeks, certainly before EOY. When I joined I said my goal was the spend the year learning and acquire one big coin. I hope FUN 2018 (via Heritage) is when it happens. Happy thanksgiving all!

I think you answered your own question. The "next" series you should collect is Bust Halves if only so you can join the club |

Circulation Cameos, coins which darkened from environmental impact while still in commerce so the toning was prevented where it was touched. They're the Oreos of numismatics - dark on the outside, white on the inside.    |

Wow this is a new term for me, even though I've seen effects like this. Cameo circulation really does highlight the details, very nice!  |
