When showing your collection to a non-collector type friend or family member, what coin(s) or set of coins get the most excited responses??
- oldest coin
- most expensive coin
- most shiny coin
- biggest coin
- smallest coin
- silver dollars

Now be honest!!!!
For me it is my 50 of so UNC Morgan dollars in flips and then the Proof State Quarters.

I leave a few circulated Morgans and Peace dollars on my desk at work. Inevitably, someone will pick one up and say "1883, wow, how much is this worth?"

I get lots of oo's and aah's over this one:
non-collecting folks love the ones dated in the 1700s
this one also happens to be large (a silver dollar), fairly expensive, and it just looks old

Big, bright and shiny gets them everytime. Most of the rest are just "interesting."

My wife looks at the coins and wonders why I like all the really dirty ones. She says that I should do something to clean them up, they'd look better that way.
My Bro in law wondered about a 1889 PROOF Seated half dollar how they were able to pour the metal so well.
I just give up. I'll be happy to look at them and think about them, but I can't deal with the agony.
The Mint really does a good job pouring the metal don't they.
With me, the oddest coins get the most attention. Showing MS67 steel cents always gets a look of amazement!
some peoples attention. Great variety like a type set or a collection of variously shaped coins
can get some people's attention. Also gold or most anything shiny can be of interest. Odd ball
items are often most effective such as spectacular errors or strange tokens.
It often seems as though much of the responce is based on how they are presented and on how
interested you are in them.
