I voted for "Pennies" (cents). It allows collectors at every financial level the ability to put together interesting and attractive sets! Most of my collecting life I put together high grade attractive Type Sets. I'm very proud of my Dansco 7070 Registry Set, which can be viewed by clicking on the hotlink in my auto-signature at the bottom of my posts. But the most fun and excitement I've ever had with my collections was recently completing my "Unique" Indian Head cent set, which I've posted in another thread. I'll be having an Educational Exhibit based around this IHC Registry Set at Winter FUN this January. I encourage each of you attending to stop by to introduce yourself and say hello, as I'll be hanging around my exhibit most of the time each day other than Thursday morning and early afternoon.

While cents were the starting point for me back in the '60's, I'm now a type collector so I really focus on all denominations. However, at the moment my primary attention is on nickels.

Where is the choice for classic commemoratives?  @ Raiden -  to the CCF. You can see we have a wide range of experienced collectors here so it's no surprise that your well intended poll solicited some remarks of what was excluded. Hint - collectors refer to pennies as cents. edit for spllgening Edited by nickelsearcher

Silver dimes - preferably with at least some residual luster.

Well the consensus is that many collectors are into a wide variety of different denominations and types of coins . That's what a true collector is all about .  |

These polls never have every possible choice nor could they. What am I supposed to pick when most of my collection is Canadian? I think the idea is to just pick the best option out of the choices given. "None of the above" should be an option.

True, and it's also the classic and colonials forum. That technically excludes all Lincoln cents etc - stuff that most collectors have. I'm just saying that a lot of "what about this and what about that" isn't particularly useful for poll results.

2 cent pieces. Best coin design the US has ever made. So I couldn't vote.  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

The 2 cent piece is the best design the US has ever made? You mean even better than the Susan B. Anthony dollar? Really? Edited by Coinfrog
