Coin taste evolution

Yorkshireman

While at the FUN show, I noticed my coin tastes evolved.
By Friday morning, I began looking almost exclusively at nice Capped Bust half dollars and Matron head large cents.
I bought a beautiful CBH that is being reholdered..

I have so much to learn about each series.

Please post photos of some of your eye appealing coins in those areas. What made you begin collecting in that series and/ or
buy that particular coin?

If you give in to the allure of the CBH series you'll have plenty of company.

Large cents........ they're still growing on me.

I like large cents.

i struggle with the evolution of coin taste some
as it grows
some other part shrinks

that day i can't be happy finding a wheat cent in circulation maybe more then a sign of trouble

If the taste evolves to being salty they have probably handled too much.

I do not know a single person who has gone into coin collecting with the same series they come out with. This is a good thing. Way too much to enjoy and learn.

Figuring out the second act is sometimes difficult.

Oh great, more competetion!

Actually that is great! I'm always working on my capped bust and large cent collection. I didn't pick up any bust halves at FUN, but I did acquire a nice PCGS XF-45 1817 15 stars large cent. I'll post that and other stuff when I write up my FUN report.

Proof Large Cents?! I guess I don't get out much! Those are awesome. As are Coinlieutenants! I wish I had decent fotos to post of my circulated large cents. Or of the CBH or two I still have. I do find it enjoyable, Yorkshireman, to recall how my coin tastes have evolved, from shiny modern series back to almost all things classic and circulated. Happy hunting!
