In your opinion what is the least popular series to collect? (This does not include the series that is so rare that very few people CAN collect it, I mean the series no one likes.)
I really have no idea, I don't like IKES so I would bet on that.

What was the originial question?
<< <i>In your opinion what is the least popular series to collect? >>
I think you will find that there are more collectors that collect modern coinage then the so called "classic" coinage. Just a guessiment but probably less then 15% of all US collectors actively collect series from the 19 century. I would wager that there are more collectors of modern Washington quarters, Rossie dimes and Lincoln cents then all of the "classic" series collectors put togather.
JMHO,
<< <i>1965-now Jefferson nickels in circ. grades. >>
I have a full set.
In the last year the dimes have moved up hugely and prices are up sharply. They just might have overtaken the quarters.

You bet it riled some of us. Well, maybe a few of us. Okay, maybe just me, but I love the Seated half dimes. They combine a beautiful design, common to all of the Seated denominations, with a reasonable and affordable series, not common to any other Seated series.
Let's not pick on the little half dimes. Save your comments for the Ike dollars, Shriever commems, or SBA dollars. Now those are ugly.
As a produced -- either 3-cent design or maybe the 20-cent series.

I nominate $50 burnished platinum 1/2 ounce coins.
Probably less collected than any of the series above.
They're still relatively affordable.
They're still relatively unknown.
They're relatively rare - at most 2,577 complete sets can ever exist (possibly fewer depending on 2008 mintages).

1) Yep, you guessed it. The MORGAN DOLLAR, with 66% of survey respondents reporting they collect the big Silver.
2) The 50 State Quarters.
3) Peace Dollars
4) Lincoln Cents, (1909 - Present)
5) Franklin Half Dollars
6) Winged Liberty Head Dimes (Mercury Dimes)
7) Walking Liberty Half Dollars
8) Washington Quarters
9) Presidential Dollars
10) Roosevelt Dimes (1946 - Present)
11) Kennedy Half Dollars
12) Buffalo Nickels
13) Jefferson Nickels
14) Indian Head cents
15) American Eagle Silver Bullion (ASE)
Do you agree?
<< <i>2 cents pieces. I like three cent pieces and half dimes, have no use for 2 cent pieces. >>
IMHO the 2 cent piece should be more widely collected, it's a short and relatively affordable classic coin series.......... and I like them!

Am astonished the buffs and IHCs appear so low on the list. Then again, #12 on this list is still a LOT higher than the other series mentioned here.
easy, long gold series like lib quarter eagles and half eagles.
i can pretty much guess that all the others mentioned cannot hold
a candle to the lack of gold series collectors where the amount of
coins is greater then 175+ for the series.

I can't believe that there are more folks collecting Peace Dollars than Lincoln Cents. The humble Wheat Cent has been the foundation series of practically every coin collection begun for the past 60 years!
As for the bottom - gotta be the SBA.
<< <i>$3 GOLD >>
I can agree with that
