    I guess I agree. Gold dollars are too tiny.

    any series that has pics of dead people on them
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    State quarters. Too many to have long term collectibility and although some have pretty designs most are flat and boring. Made many new collectors so that does not "annoy" me though.

    I'm close to agreeing with you on that. I like washington quarters though.

    State parks. Definitely.

    most of the new designs introduced after World War II... Roosevelts, Franklins, Kennedys, etc. When you compare them with the pre-war designs, for me, there's no comparison in terms of beauty and aesthetics.

    Those that have rotating appearances every year or multiple times per year like state quarters, native am dollars, state parks, etc. Funny thing is, I got back into numismatics in 2000 by pulling state quarters from circulation. It branched out from there. Now a state quarter is something to drop in a vending machine to me.

    Is a "70 with spots" a series? Because a 70 with spots annoys me.

    Since her beauty is being called into question I will let her defend herself. I believe leather storage creates this type of toning.

    I don't know if "annoy" is the right term, but I don't have much use for "silver" coins after 1964.

    never really liked Morgan Dollars and it sort of annoys me that so many people seem to like them... and when I'm at coin shows there are tables full of them and nothing else!! but i just move along and eventually find the copper image

    Annoy me? Coin series? Not hardly.

    Now, cutesy names for a coin series is another matter entirely. image
  • breakdownbreakdown Posts: 2,264 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am not a big fan of the cartoonish Presidential dollars but every coin has some amount of goodness to it.

    Mumu, I like your 43. Nice color. I do like some Roosevelts though -- they can be some beautiful toners.

    Actually no coins annoy me. Out there somewhere someone loves any series that someone else is knocking. It's like arguing Fords and Chevrolets, you can't win so leave each to his own.

    The state quarters and the small dollars generally don't interest me. I suppose I'm the most turned off by the President Dollars.

    Anything toned. Specially wildly artificial toning!
  • ShamikaShamika Posts: 18,785 ✭✭✭✭

    Proofs coins in general. The idea of collecting something that was specifically made to be collected turns me off big time. It's no different than collecting Beanie Babies.

    Sorry if I upset anyone.

    Truly annoying to me are shield nickels in business strike where it is so difficult to tell them from their proof counterparts but yet the difference in cost is significant.

    I agree on this too. There are a couple coins id like to own in proof, but generally just from my favorite series and 1 of each would do. Otherwise it makes no sense to me. Its like collecting fake money not meant for circulation. I dont even like the look of them except in DMPL.

    I generally agree. However, I am a sucker for proof walkers. There are also a few series where I would prefer proof coins for type examples. Some proof nickels are just so much better struck up then their counterparts...........MJ

    That is the 1 series I could ever see wanting to own the whole run of because it is my favorite series and its small an obtainable. outside of that I'd like to own 1 proof merc dime and 1 proof Barber half, otherwise the proofs dont really appeal to me.

    First hags... er I mean first spouse gold series. Seems like the least effort ever put into a design series. Lousy strikes, big mint premiums and subject matter no one really cares about !!
