I must be weird. I find regular issue US coins more attractive than the gold.

Your loss!
Some of the finest-designed coins are the platinum series.

Was classic gold not a "regular issue"? I was under the impression that you could get a $20 gold coin from the bank before 1933 in the same way you would get a roll of nickels. No?
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
Yea, I'm actually a bit unclear on the premise of this thread too, I was under the impression that classic gold is considered "regular issue". Anyways, I'm only here because @RYK opened the door for me to post my 1799, and I had to seize the opportunity.

Except for commemorate coins and modern bullion coins, all gold coins are regular issues.

While I do have an appreciation for non-gold US coins, buffalo nickels in particular, it's hard to not to argue that the high relief Saint blows them all away.
Also regular issue!

See what I did there @DeplorableDan 🤣
Well, you're right of course.
I just find the gold coins a bit boring.
Some I like. Proof gold for instance.
And the "early" gold.
But, perhaps oddly, I find little to gaze at on a Saint.
As I said, "weird."

I think classic silver designs are generally better than gold. Some exceptions of course.
