I would have chosen Liberty Seated dimes.

Nvidia stock. Third choice, Mercury dimes.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Tough call. Walkers are my #1. I think Seated halves have passed Mercury Dimes for my #2 spot, though I don't have many yet.
Early quarters then seated halfs
Mainly colonials, I guess second would be large cents.
1 Morgans
2 WLH I have a complete short set uncirculated in a Dansco album.

Standing Liberty Quarters.
They are beautiful coins.

No idea. I have had main focuses multiple times over the years. Then I reach a point where it is financially difficult to continue, sell it all, and start something else. So now I just focus on things I like when I acquire anything. Although if I was to focus again, or pursue a lot of coins again, I would probably go ancient or a series based on “cool designs” I like which would include international coinage. Although I have been tempted by the idea of switching over the US Currency and just keep my coins as they are.
US Type and Large Cents are my first passions. I took a diversion into Buffalo Nickels and completed a circulated set of those. I suppose if I had it to do all over again, I'd have delved into Capped Bust Halves... they're big, silver, lots of varieties, what's not to love...

I would have collected vintage 45 RPM records, 1955 - 1985.

I already collect a multiple of colonial era series, both domestic as well as foreign. The problem is finding items that fit well with my collection.
The top one is Vernon Hills car That’s what Billionairs drive
If I had the money, DBHE $1's.
Non coin related, Ukiyo-e (Japanese wood block prints). CA. sun kills prints, so I could never hang any around the house. A first printing of Hokusai's "Great Wave off Kanagawa" would be fun to hang on the wall. Trust me, you've all seen it somewhere. Google it if you're not sure.
U.S. Type Set
I mainly collect coins I like. I'll pass on a second choice.
It's been low key lately and no bucketful of articles about it everyday. Like it's been forgotten. Otherwise my second choice was Walkers when I was into coins more.
Bentleys are overrated. Mine would be a Barber MS/PR type set
Bust Dollars. I almost bought a Bust Dollar a few years ago. 1799 in a damaged NGC holder that the dealer wanted $2200 for, a VF 20. I wouldn't go more than $2100 for it though. No sale. Would have been the most expensive coin I ever purchased.
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

I would like to have a car collection like Jay Leno. But I don't have income like Jay Leno had, so it never happened.
My second choice depends on what day of the week it is.
My main numismatic collecting intetests change from time-to-time. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to collect.Civil War military relics, but don’t have the room.
I have collected all of them, at some point or another. Walkers are the only full set that I ever completed, although I did do a date set of Standing quarters. Trying to do a box of 20 Seated dollars. I buy Morgans in between. Morgans are more or less my guilty pleasure.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
