  Anything I don't already have! The hobby will keep someone interested forever if there is always something new to add.

  If more than one person likes it, it's desirable. If only one person likes it, it's collectible.

  A coin I like.

  I collect history in the form of coins.

  Bingo! Someone gets it!

  Those are modern fantasy tokens made for the flea market trade.

  Lincoln with a nice strike and no distracting gouges, carbon spots, or discolorations maybe between 09 and 16. I know red is desirable but the 65 and 66 browns with luster are nice especially the way the light shines on the wheat lines.

  I agree as I collect HTT's and Store Cards. Many if not all are limited to brown.
  
  But great examples can be found in red/brown.
  
  I find the RB with excellent luster examples to be the nicest looking.
