Definitely the history. I love it when the coin shows character and looks like it has a story to tell. Ideally, I'd like to have a 2 sets of each coin. One circulated and the other in the best grade that I can acquire and afford. Other than that, just like Cali_Nick said, whatever catches my eye.

I agree. They next step is eye appeal. No so much a grade, but a look since I like circulated coins.

Condition. I'm always in awe when I see a coin that is 50+ years old and it still looks like its hot off the minting presses. To me its like seeing a 60 year old Jaguar in mint condition with all original parts.

EDIT: typo.
