Do you prefer to collect bigger coins or smaller coins?

Bigger for me...

 

Big coins have the additional challenge of consistent deep strikes across the diameter. Also, bag marks are much more common on the big coins. Finding a Franklin half with its wide open background clear of bag marks is tough....

 

But worth it in the end.

i've been collecting Roosevelt dimes for about 2 years and i'm definitely thinking that my next collection will be a larger sized coin. (i'm thinking Franklin half dollars.) so after collecting the Roosevelt dime for a while, yeah, i think i prefer larger coins.

bigger coins. the eyes are not what they used be ( and not what there gonna be later )

 

I agree, but than again I have always liked large.

Half dimes are really really tiny, and I have never really understood how anyone could ever collect (or see) them.

"I'll admit to a preference for big busts, but ANY size busts will work."

 

oh you like big busts. yeah, me too....as long as they're not fake

 

Fake ones are cool, too.
