I started with junk box world coins as a kid as well as US and Canadian stuff. I still have those coins but now I focus on Chinese/Japanese/Asian coins with a particular interest in chopmarked coins. Nowadays most mints seam to crank out all kinds of 'commemorative coins' [state quarters, Presidential dollars, etc.] Buying all these series will bankrupt you quickly. So I've stopped actively buying coins minted after 1963 - the year of my birth. I would much rather have a old coin with some history than a set of MS-65 State Quarters.

Similar to Archraz, I've nearly stopped buying US coins all together. I think that world coins offer a larger variety at much more reasonable prices.

Ikes and Susan B Anthonys for starters. My Mom gave me all of my Dads coins when he died and he had some of each. I started working on finishing what he started and then decided at one point that I couldn't afford to work on everything I inherited and so I needed to narrow my focus a bit. Those weren't worth much and I don't really care for the way either of them look to tell you the truth so I sold what I had. Did the same with proof and mint sets. Sacagaweas were something I started on my own and got away from when I cleaned house. Also I haven't gotten any Liberty nickels in quite a while since I worked the set down to the big three. I don't know that I've abandoned the set but I don't see myself shelling out that kind of money for those and have been looking to sell what I've got from time to time so I'll probably move on sooner or later once I sell them.
