In fact the locally minted ones are more expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

Ætheling Valued Member United Kingdom 438 Posts	Posted 01/14/2006 11:26 am Silver Denarii from the early Empire and English silver pennies from 870-1216, and 1279-1327. I'm also fond of Royal French coins, hammered gold and 17th/18th century British silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Heather the Hoarder Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/14/2006 12:06 pm I chose "other" because I have no particular favorite - I will hoard anything and everything. Ancient and medieval coins do, however, hold my interest better than most. The incredible sense of history, along with the infinite variety and the superior artistic quality on certain issues, keep me interested. The prices are often quite reasonable too.

coinquest New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 01/14/2006 3:59 pm I collect any that contain a story on how I got them. I like mint condition US coins - any variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Hated to but being a little on the unemployed side swayed my decision! My dealer had one of them sold before I even left the shop! Terry, it's always heartbreaking to part with a Morgan, but selling a CC Morgan is like losing a pet. However, what must be done, must be done. If you're on good terms with your dealer, I'm sure you got good prices. I'm not too far away from your situation: no income except my disability pensions since this past March, so I'm selling, selling, selling, but only Boy Scout patches. I sold an 89CC (ANACS cleaned/damaged AU/XF) last week, but that was to reinvest in another Morgan, but without problems. My Scout collectibles are keeping my head above water without having to break into my investments... so far. Fred Report this Post to the Staff
toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 02/01/2006 08:06 am Oh, I like Mercury dime. I wish I had the money to seriously collect some a lot of older coins But.... I voted for the quarters. The State Quarters offer quite a variety and they only cost 25c. It also is a longer term interest to see the next one come every few months over the years. Chasing down the new State Quarters is more of a challenge from Australia than for those in the USA. Report this Post to the Staff
tnwalker10 Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 02/01/2006 09:14 am Mainly pre 1900 US coins. Such a big tempting world out there though. Too bad my budget don't fit the big tempting world. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/01/2006 09:16 am My response, which was quite predictable if you know anything about me, was cents. It surprises me to see there are so many "other" votes, and that cents got so little of the overall vote. We will have to see what we can do about that Report this Post to the Staff
demonboy279 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 03/03/2006 07:41 am Im not stuck in any series. my main thing right now is a 20th century type set in a H&E Harris folder. only 8 coins away. then my next goal will be a type set in a Dansco album. unless I get my hands on some Wayte Raymond folders then I'm going to silver half dollars. as I have a special spot for halfs and I love silver. I would go for dollars but to expensive I prefer a type set tho as I get a vast area of coins and designs to admire. I dont like restrictions and I really just like variety. and ive got plenty Report this Post to the Staff
