What an interesting topic. I am one of the more recent collectors focusing mainly on coins post 1837. This is my interest as a collector and is equal to any other period. My outlook is that we each have a desire to build a collection and for me the period is irrelavant as we build our collections based on many factors. these include: Finances Period of interest Investment value and many other factors. I for one started by collecting anything and everything. I eventually fell in love with "Bun Head" pennies. In my attempt to complete the set , i attempted to collect each year ( a very basic collection) as that grew i then started looking at collecting the variety's. I have not completed either challenge i set myself (still looking for an UNC 1869 - as well as others) However i have no intention of being a date filler, i want quality over quantity. The point im making is that as collectors we each have different perspectives, desires, preferences etc . What we have in common is the desire to hold a piece of history in the form of these beauties.
