  Yep.
  IHC and Lincolns..... BN (generally toned).
  Also, Roosevelts when I saw some pics here and someone sent some toned ones to my son, now we collect those as well since he likes them.

  Yes! Just started WLH's, I loved seeing them on here and wanted them for myself.

  First get the knowledge, then the coins.

  I went wild at a coin show after seeing those original crusty bust halves on this forum and bought a small hoard of 12 coins VF+, early dates, then realized this has nothing to do with my collection, then detoxed, now I am fine again.

  Don't worry, after a few thousand more posts, Longacre will have asked every possible numismatic question. Then he will have to start recycling old Longacre questions!

  I did not collect jefferson fs's and major varieties until seeing some of keets and carlwholforths posts.
  
  Once the jefferson bite took hold, I stopped all other pursuits and focused totally on that series.

  I collected some really nicely toned Indian cents because of pics posted on the forums. I had never really seen any vividly toned Indian cents like the ones posted. This cent (pun intended) me on a quest to get a couple nice examples for myself.

  I've thought about collecting/ purchasing some toned Silver Roosies and MS-65+ Jeffersons, but haven't quite gotten to that point quite yet.
  
  I collect whatever the wind blows to me. If I see a great deal on a VF, EF, AU, MS+ coin (prefferably pre 1840) I'll jump on it.
  
  
  Oh, I forgot, I have started collecting NT (MS) Morgan Dollars. They're beautiful coins.

  No, but I have developed a hankering to get an architectural medal or two.

  Nope. But I have wanted to try out bust halves here and there and see (on this forum) that there seems to be enough of a community to make that fun if I went that way in the future. But I'll probably go do colonials and early large cents when I break from Morgans.
