Early date (pre-1817) bust half varieties and mint errors.
Suffering from bust half fever.
Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955
Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.

I voted Dollars, of course.

However, my quarters have them outnumbered thanks to the last 24 years of thematic issues!

It's not multiple choice so voting is pointless for me.

That's a difficult choice to make for me too. But, since we have to choose only one, I picked dollars. Mostly Morgans, ASE's and Canadian Maple leaf coins.

I'm currently concentrating on Early American Copper (EAC).
First I look at Half Cents.
Second I look at large cents.
And as an aside I am trying to complete my Early US Commemoratives collection.

I am an every denomination collector when it comes to US coins.
However, it is most unlikely that I will ever get hold of a Half Union or a Stella.

The US coins are part of a World collection.

I know the Stella but didn't know the Half Union. $50 dollar pattern piece, wow would that be cool.

Yeah, I'm a type set guy, so my answer is "whatever type I don't have yet" (or need to upgrade)

I don't have a favorite. I collect several different sets. If it has to be one, I will say coins that have precious metals ;)

I don't pick favorites on much of anything, but what I focus the most on is Buffalo nickels. If I could pick two, it would be a combination, Buffalo nickel varieties.

A number of other series I would likely collect more of, but sadly, cost prohibits.
