| If I were limited to one coin type to COLLECT, my choice would be the LARGE CENTS of early America: many varieties, errors, and it's a large copper too. |

I prefer foreign coins before 1800.
I believe that many of these are undervalued. |

I picked "OTHER"
If I could only pick one type of coin it would be silver coins :)
Of your list I would pick the SLQ's because they are the nicest looking US coin IMHO |

Same here, I like silver, but there is something about old copper coins that I like. |

| I went with Morgan dollars. Why? Well simply because there are plenty of others wanting them as well. When/if it came time to move them they seem to go quickly. Just my two cents worth. |

| Trade Dollars. Very pricey, I don't have any, but they circulated around the world. The chop marks from all these places would be the most fun to see. |
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended. |

I would chose Barber dimes, quarters, and halves.
I think they are underappreciated and you can still buy an over 100 year old coin for near junk coin silver prices. |
