coinman420

i`m all over the map too but i`m partial to lincolns, grew up with some whitman lincoln albums in the house and sparked an interest. i like all coins though... too many coins, too little time

Incuse design gold because it is unique and the depiction of the Native American and Bald Eagle just look great, to me.

morgans and merc dimes for the most part but some others for a varitey in the collection

GrumpyEd

Can't pass up a Lincoln

curly

Brothers, the Lord must've loved the common man because he made so many of them. For the same reason, I'm into those lil' copper doohickeys.

bigbadchad777

A Gettysburg Commemorative Half Dollar will define me.

I'm starting to get a serious addiction to capped bust half dimes- so much detail in such a small package!

AUandAG

Raised in Carson City, NV, so not one coin but one series!

See my sig line.

This is the only series I'm seriously trying to complete. I've been at it 15 years or so and it will probably take me another 20+ years to complete it to my satisfaction. I guess I'd say it best defines me because it's extraordinarily challenging without being overwhelming. When the set is done, it will probably contain less than 100 pieces, including die varieties, die states and the original dies.

I'd like to say Territorials, but I don't own any ATM in my personal collection.

Any error coin...I have my fair share of flaws

OneCent

I am but a common man. Born into a hard-working blue collar family. Had to scrap and claw for things as a youngster.

WHat other coin could be more representative of the common man than this:




Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

Cladiator

I'll give you one guess.

FullStepJeffs

Jefferson Nickels... only Jefferson Nickels.

Edited for why: Because I started a minor set about 7 years ago with the money I could afford to play with and it grew into a passion.

Julio, this thread ain't fair, man.

I can relate to Curly, LeeG, Tightbudget....

One coin or series just can't best define me. I'm so "bifurcated".

coinut1799

I collect colonials by type, US Federal issues by type, and classic commemoratives by type, so it is really tough to focus on one type of coin. Somehow, I cannot resist beautifully toned Proof Indian head cents.

lkenefic

I would say the coin I use for my avatar... but I've really been diggin' this one lately>>

direwolf1972

Nothing yet. I wouldnt say my SHQ's best define me. I'm interested in just about anything and still learning a lot. Lately trying to learn as much as I can about Morgans. After I feel I have a good grasp on that then something else. Everywhere I look there is something that interests me. I go with what my budget allows so some coins will always be out of my grasp. But I love to look and know at least a little about them.

This is setting up to be a jack of all trades, master of none, type thing isnt it?

longtimecollector

Mine would be (and is) Seated Halves...........

Old, long winded, boring to some, but if you look close, you'll find variety !!!!!!!

lordmarcovan

I'm all over the map, myself, perhapse even moreso than most. Ancients, US, world coins, metal detector digs, etc.

I guess the Victorian type set I am building for my daughter perhaps "defines" me the most, since it is a Daddy's labor of love.

That, and if I had to pick one period in the past to live in besides this one, I would probably choose to be a Victorian gentleman.
