Do you have more silver, copper or gold in your collections?

It just dawned on me tonight that I have more copper in my collections than silver.......very odd for me as I am a big fan of the silver dollar size
I probably have about 75-80% copper now.........what about the rest of you?

5 copper, gilt copper, brass, or copper-nickel coins,
9 silver coins, and
6 gold coins.
the mid sized coins are clad
the lil ones are copper
i missed the old days of my 90% carson city gold was all i had...
for the most part...collections morph...twist and turn...then develop into something amazing
i'd bet your copper is amazing there steff
Nickels have a lot of copper in them.
I think I have singlehandedly driven gold below $1200 oz.

Maybe silver by weight due to bust halves.
Only some type gold.

I feel so excluded with my manganese, too.
Silver by weight.
Copper very little. Cents and nickels in birth year set.
started with - silver notes (bills) - had 50 to 100 value at about 100.00
that lead to the interest in silver and gold. Thats when I got the bug.
Stqaarted buying gold when it was about 302.00 oz - had more $5 and $10 Indains than silver which outweighted in value gold 95% and silver 10%
sold most when gold was around 500.00 oz. (still kicking myself everyday) then swithced to silver of all kinds
I now at 95% silver and 5%- gold in value
Hopefully now that the prices are about what they were when I started (silver that is) that will change dramatically!

No gold. Not now--not in the past--not in the future. I hate the stuff. It's UGLY!!!
Of course copper and other base metals are well represented because of my 19th century political token collection. Technically those pieces are not coins since they don't have an official face value.
Bottom line, I have gone from collecting silver in either proof sets or date sets (former Merc and Wash collections) to a more distributed model including copper, nickel, silver and gold based upon the coinage minted.
