What Is Your Favourite Coin Series Of All Time?

Isn't anyone thinking of Coppers?

Those wonderful to hug and hold base metal pieces going back to the founding of our country.

What gives?

Ikes? You've got to be kidding me

I can understand Mercury dimes and Liberty Walking halves, but Ikes? You might as well say Susie B's

You're absolutely right in your sentiment that as Americans we are being slightly ethnocentric regarding our favorite coin series.

The Portuguese coins you are collecting are beautiful. My favorite non American coin series that I seriously collect are the British Farthings. Man can I go back with those. The wren series is my all time favorite of the farthings.

Any series a collector collect has to be special, except collecting Ike dollars. One would have to wonder about that collectors childhood.

I thought this thread was asking what everyones favorite series was?

Coin collecting .. as in life .. some people will like the same .. some will
like something different. In my opinion why talk down what someone else likes.

I have quite a few different Dansco's around 30. I did put together a nice
Ike dollar set and I am thinking of doing another. They are nice big coins
that many colectors like, with silver and clad versions and varities.
It is also a fun set to put together with out spending a great deal of money.

So where modern commemorative UNC dollars are my favorite I would have to say

I like Ike too. I think if more people new all the interesting things Ike had done
they might like him also.

I prefer the French Hercules series.
They have first been minted in 1796 for 8 years then again in 1848, 1870, 1964, 1974 and finally in 1996 with virtually unchanged design.
This year again with a face lift.

I didn't even know Portuagal had coins.
Actually I thought this post was for US coins only. If all coins are included, there would be a lot of coins mentioned from everywhere.
With US coins though it is good that there are so many differences in opinions. Imagine if everyone wanted the same coins.

Currently, I must admit that I only collect Canadian coins, but since joining this site I've been reading all of your posts and then I have gone searching to try and find out what the "heck" an Ike, and/or a Morgan actually look like! ... hopefully I'll catch-up, eventually.

My vote goes to => Canadian 25 cents (quarters) all the way!
1870-1901 (Queen Victoria)
1902-1910 (Edward VII)
1911-1936 (George V)
1937-1952 Caribou (George VI)
1953-2011 Caribou (Queen Elizabeth) => including my childhood favorite series, "1967 Centennial Series"

Strange that! I didn't think this was in the U.S. section.
