Does the majority of your collection begin with a "17", or an "18" or a "19"?

Or I suppose, even a "20"? Most of my collection- if I were to inventory it all like on a pie chart- would fall in the "19" category. Only a very few are "17" with many "18's" too. Some "20s" (toned silver Eagles).
How about you?
Are there any centuries you don't have a representation within at all?

I have coins from 17, 18, 19, and 20, but mostly 19 based on my collection interests.
18
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
About half and half, 18 and 19.
19
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Most of the value of the collection begins with 180, 181, or 182, but the range of dates is 1585-2009.
Every thing on my current want list starts with 179 or 180.
Liberty: Parent of Science & Industry
19 followed closely by 18, most of it is between 1860 and 1950. i think my favorite stuff and the most beautifully artistic is between 1860 and 1905.
Mostly 19s with a few 18s and 20s.

Collector, occasional seller
While I have a number of late 1800/early 1900 bullion widgets, my primary collection consists of late 1700s to mid-1800s, with nothing later than 1861.
19 followed closely by 18 and some 20.

greater than 99% 18.
Interesting question. For my slabbed coins it's:
17xx - 6%
18xx - 33%
19xx - 58%
20xx - 3%

I have a tremendous interest in coins dated in the era of the Mercury dime; Standing Liberty quarter and Walking Liberty half. Between these and the Buffalo nickel and Peace dollar strike me as a pleasing time in America reflected by our coinage. I know it wasn't always a sweet time in history and I do have a tendency of romanticizing this time frame, yet there was also an overlay of the American spirit that is difficult to replicate with today's society.

HAPPY COLLECTING
It used to be 18 by far, now it’s 17 by a hair
50% 17
50% 18
I have two coins
Most all from the 16’s and 17’s, as well as a handful from the 15’s and early 18’s as bookends.
Way more 18 than 19 due to exonumia.
18 and 19, 17's a pipe dream and 20 is of no interest
I'm at:
1700's: 1%
1800's: 43%
1900's: 50%
2000's: 6%
Would have guessed I was more heavily weighted to the 1900's than that....
200 coins from the same series all starting with 19. Dull, Huh?

About half and half 18 and 19, but a few 20's as well.
19 leads the lis1t with 18 not too far behind... 20 is a distant 3rd! 17 used to be represented, but not any more... I'm looking though!!
