Do you hoard any particular type of coin? Why?

aknow

I've been hoarding rolls of Kennedy halves for several years. Once in a while, if I can take some time away from my family, I enjoy looking thru rolls I've accumulated, looking for silver, proofs, or well preserved uncirculated clads. Anyone have any similar proclivities?

I just checked my collection and I seem to have a disproportionate number of Kennedys, also. Most are 1964's.

Any & all Large Cents.
I'm not sure why.

I hoard Barber halves, and it is utterly perplexing as to why I do it. Why?

Where's Thiggy Fresh?! He's got a MASSIVE (Ok, maybe not massive, but a decent sized) hoard of San Diegos... he seems to buy em whenever he sees one...

OnlyBuffalos

I buy every AU 1921-S Buffalo nickel that I see that has a full or nearly full head. I wouldn't call it hoarding as I only typically see one every couple of years. But it is the only coin I deliberately buy duplicates of for my collection.

I've been trying to document all the 1878-S Morgan varieties and have acquired quite a number of them.

aknow

Very interesting.
Thanks for the responses.

I used to hoard Bicentennial Quarters from circulation. I finally gave up when I had about 400 of them. I put the money toward
a coin purchase.

Ever since we got married (23 years), we have saved every Lincoln cent that was in our pockets at the end of the day.
There's cans of them all over the house. When I retire, I'll put each one under a microscope. It'll give me something to do.

For some reason, I buy almost every nice looking 1922 Canadian cent I encounter. Don't really know why.

dthigpen

I've been hoarding San Diego Commemoratives (Both 1935-S and 1936-D) for about ten years now. Because they're there and I lived in San Diego when I started collecting them.

I used to hoard 1894-P Morgans, but I just cashed out all except for one. I'll start over someday.

Dave99B

1798 Large cents in Fair2 through Good. Why? They're cheap, I guess, and I just love that "17".

Dave

PuddlePirate

Morgans and Bennie Franks - and alot of other bright and shiney goodies

NoviceKris

Circulated Bicentennial Ikes and Kennedys. Circulated Ikes in general. Must be several hundred around here.

Have way too many Proof George Washington Commems, too.

jdsinva

Well, now that I think about it. . .

I have ones of those deli-sized pickle jars (maybe like 5 gallon size) that I've been putting state quarters in. I"ve also been pulling all the 1959 - 1982 cents that I come across. One of this days they may be worth 1.5 cents and I'm going to clean up!

Check out my sig line.

1942 Jefferson Nickeles, D/Horizontal D slabbed or raw whenever/wherever i can find them. one day there will be a pop explosion and you'll know where it came from!!!

Not me!

pocketpiececommems

I have 4 pocketpiece Lafayette Dollars and 7 or 8 Missouri halves in G-6 or lower. I'm still looking for a holed example of each of them.

KurtHorn

I hoard 27-S SL Quarters. I started hoarding them when a low grade example could be bought for $6-$8. I have a few rolls of them now.

marmac

I try to buy a roll or two of $1 coins every time I deposit money at the bank. I don't know why I do this, I guess for the Susan B's, funny thing is I have little or no interest in that series. Theire sole purpose is to fill the "Change coffee can". I have started hoarding 1892-s dollars in low grade, trying to corner the market there.

ddbird

Bicentenial quarters and state quarters...I just chuck em in a jar. I now have about $500 dollars worth of state quarters though

skydivdav

Sacagaweas. Wheaties by the thousands. Keel boat nicks and peace medal nicks. Morgans. And of course bicentennial and statehood quarters.
Blue skies!

Conder101

1791 Hampshire 89 Conder tokens, mostly AU - Proof. Just picked up a couple more of them.

Nicely toned Jeffersons - when you can find coins like this ANACS MS66 for $13.50, why not?


Gorgeous pastel colors and a nice die crack bisecting the reverse from 12 to 6 o'clock.

I have five albums of circulated Barber Dimes plus some more duplicates. They're still affordable but considered too small and ugly to ever be promoted (unlike some of the coins I bought as an "investment" in the late '80s.

Dateless Buffalo and Liberty nickels are also favorite playthings around my house, ever since I bought 100 including an 1885 from an elderly eBay seller with failing eyesight. Once in a while, I bring out my bottle of Nic-a-Date and have legal fun dropping acid. The dates restored are always common, so I let my 2 year old grandson scatter them around the house. This makes housecleaning enjoyable, and I have fun again giving them to homeless people or dim-witted cashiers.

i keep all the dimes that I get in change. I figure they are the best weight/size per face value of any coin. Also they are the only coins that will fit inside a Midori bottle. i think 1 bottle will hold around $130 in dimes.

Hello All,

I hoard silver (or any 1oz foreign coin - silver maples, 5 pesos, etc.) dollars.

Why?

ANS: I like the way it looks piled.

LanLord

I will buy any and all over date bust half dollars.

Why? Because I think it's pretty neat that the people making those dies would just go ahead on make coins with goofed up dies and not be the least bit concerned with sending the coins out like that.

poptopsRus

I hoard 1927 S quarters. I think they are under appreciated. I have rolls of them in G-XF

nwcs

I would love to hoard lower end 20 centers. I thought about doing that one time but realized it would take too long and I wouldn't be able to buy anything else.
