I voted for type set which is my main focus. but since I am working on a EF-BU set except for the bust and earlier will be best grade I can afford. So my other intesr right now is working on a hlf dollar set out of circulation.

I had been working on my ASE and world silver coins until I saw the type set that morganman showed a week ago. Oh well, I voted type set. Going through my coins now but you can bet mine won't look as nice as that set. Maybe someday!

I have focused all my interest on my dansco 7070 and havent even messed with any morgans since I bought the 7070. I have even thought about selling off a few of my higher priced coins to buy some nice examples of some of the highr priced coins. I am just glad I was collecting ms-64 and above 1878 morgans because it has gotten me used to paying 300+ for a coin which is about where alot of these for the type set lingers, then you have the ms-65 1878 (which I have quite a few) that sell for around 1100+ which is about where the other coins that didn't fall into the other catagory fall into this price range so atleast I am used to spending that kind of money and it isn't hard for me to buy the coins I need or want

I am going for a complete set of Uncirculated (MS64+) Franklin halves! Half way there, and I just purchased the 1949 S in 64 or better condition!

Narrowing that down to just one choice ain't easy. I'm focusing equally on the Type Set, Large Cents and Half Cents.

Putting the finishing touch on several different early commemoratives types/series. NOt all are very difficult to find, it's just hard to get coins to match the ones that are already in the sets.

Morgans are the main focus right now. The next thing I usually focus my attention on is the 7070 type set.

I'm actually going to start focusing on a bust half date set (I know, I"ll get drawn in and never get out!) After that, I'm going to tackle Franklins at the same time, while also taking the plunge and trying my hand at a type set. If I ever get done, I'll let ya know!

All of the above as I find them to fill holes or in better grades.

I kinda collect any and everything; but, I specifically collect Peace dollars (Started about 8 months ago), WL Halves (When I first started collecting actively again about 1.5-2 years ago), and old pennies, nickels, dimes(S), Quarters(s), and Kennedy halves(all) out of Circ.

Three Cent pieces mainly!

However, I have recently been researching commems. I am not sure what triggered this, but maybe the Stone Mtn. commem that I couldn't turn down had something to do with it!
