Have the coins that you collect changed over the years, or do you still collect the same kind of coins you did when you first started?And if they have changed, then in what way have they changed? And I would appreciate your reasons for changing (or not changing) the kinds of coins you collect.

The half I am getting rid of and me, forever and always Taken in about 1959
I used to love Proof quarters, now I love dirty, worn, circulated silver Dimes to halves.

My interests changed to mint state type coins from 1820's to 1916 around 1983 and i was fasinated with the barber series, type coins and barber halves are my main interest now. Love bust dollars to, but at the prices they are at now, i'd need to win the lottery to do more than just look at them. Les

Now my interests have turned to classic proofs. I probably would have collected classic proofs as a kid, but it's really hard to raise the money to buy one of these babys when the only income is mowing the neighbors' lawns. Now it's considerably easier.
I started with circulated date/mints sets in Whitman folders. I think Roosevelts were the only thing I finished.
Now I collect primarily type sets, much higher grade & price.

I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.
Always looking for nice type coins
my local dealer
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I've owned trade dollars and half cents but never really collected these two. I found world
coins in '76 and added tokens and medals about the same time. Since selling out in '89, the
only US I still collect is tokens, medals and the modern coins. Someday I hope to go back and
try the classics again. I also hope to be able to get into the tokens a little more.
US 20th century coins collecting buffalos, halves, cents,
slq's, mercs, walkers, Washington's, key coins, commems,
gold etc., and in that order. I never went after dollars
much probably because everybody was collecting them at the
time but I did collect a few. I never cared for Barbers at
all, now here I am years later and it is my favorite coin.
So many series to choose from makes the hobby fun. Upgrading
and fine tuning my collection is an ongoing process for me.

I started off collecting low - medium grade circulated type set in a Dansco album
Then moved on to modern commems
then to PROOF sets
then to classic commems
then to full date and mintmark sets of many series of coins
now I'm back to a medium - high grade circulated type set in a Library of Coins album set
Dam, back to the beginning sort of.
