What's your favorite coin that you DON'T collect

JapanJohn · October 27, 2006 9:26AM

I really dig some of the Capped Bust Half Dollars, however I'm scared to buy any because I'm afraid I'll go overboard.

It'd be either New Jersey coppers or early half eagle die varieties.

SilverEagles92 · October 27, 2006 9:30AM

Hmm.... 1792 Half Dismes and 1933 $20's.

Barndog · October 27, 2006 9:30AM

1792 half disme

I collect capped bust half dimes

Aethelred · October 27, 2006 9:39AM

I don't collect any US coins, but if I did it would either be early large cents or bust half dollars.

WoodenJefferson · October 27, 2006 9:46AM

Canadian proof 5 dollar silvers. To me, the Canadian Mint invented the reverse proof method, I have just one, still in the mint sealed flip. Very decent coin for money spent.

John, John, John............
If you ain't going overboard, you're not really into this yet.
You have to be a little foolish to collect coins.
Spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a quarter or half dollar coin REQUIRES that you be more than a little crazy.
Certifiable, almost.

Early dollars.

ARCO · October 27, 2006 10:04AM

Any and all gold. Too damn expensive to collect by date and mintmark in MS...or AU for that matter.

JapanJohn · October 27, 2006 10:04AM

Ray,

I'm obviously crazy as I collect Sacagawea's and pay way too much for the fringe coins. I've got crazy covered. I guess I should say I'd go insane if I started with the Cap Bust coins. Everytime I see one on here I pause and go "WOW". Great looking coins.

Flowing hair half dollars. They're really great, but there's no way I can afford one right now.

Oldnewbie · October 27, 2006 10:32AM

Crap, I seem to have a low grade example of just about everything I don't collect but I like.

Big pile 'o junk.

It's what I do.

BECOKA · October 27, 2006 10:36AM

The ones I used to collect. Indian Half Eagles. I did just that, I went overboard and completed the set and even though I had every intention of keeping it an improving it I just found that financially I could not keep it up and I kept finding new ones I had to have.

They are up for auction but I will miss them and they are now my favorite coin that I don't collect. At least for now.

The fun part is building the set so I might try again some day.

ChangeInHistory · October 27, 2006 11:38AM

Walking Liberty Halves, simply beautiful coins. D and C gold would be a close second.

Mormon gold.

intocoins · October 27, 2006 11:46AM

Susan B. Anthony Dollars. Okay, Just kidding.
I would love to collect Large Cents.
I think I might start , but I want to learn
more about them first. I'll probably do some
searching to see what the best books are for the
series.

Coxe · October 27, 2006 2:08PM

Trade dollars come to mind. Don't wanna deal with the counterfeit meshugas. Had a micro s 77-s (Breen-5814) for a long time but sold it so I wouldn't be tempted to start in on them.
