Everyone's favorite coin

Dollars have aways spoken to me in a way that's completely different from anything else. First, they're big! Second, by the time I was small the large dollars had completely disappeared from circulation and the first time I saw a significant number of silver dollars was in a coin store when I was less than 10, and when you're that young those big shiney silver coins are just so impressive.

When I started collecting last year the first thing I did was to buy some raw Morgans and Peace dollars. They're mostly EF/AU, not terribly valuable but they're neat. They have character and they'll make a nice silver investment later. After that my interest expanded. In a few years I hope to have partial certified sets of Silver Eagles, Morgans, Peace Dollars, Libertads, Maple Leafs, Britannias, Pandas and Modern Commems. I love large type silver coins and I think that going forward they'll dominate my collection.
