As a type collector there were coins I liked better than others. My least favorite pieces among the classics are the Nickel Three Cent piece and the three "With Arrows" silver type coins from 1873-4. Those "With Arrows" coins were expensive and not very thrilling. I bought really nice examples of the quarter and half dollar, but I made a mistake and bought a "C quality Proof coin" for the dime. By then I was sick of the type. That tiny increase in weight was probably part of an "international money" idea, which never got off the ground. The "With Arrows" coins from the 1850s made sense because of the "melts for more than face value" problem.

If you want to see a "C coin," here it is. My bad for buying it. The grade is PR-63.

As for the modern series, it's any of the non circulating crap the mint issues now, which is outside of the Proof set. There are too many of those coins, and they are boring and ugly as hell. I will not waste my money on them.
