The most popular coins to collect are dependent on a few factors about the collector. History has shown that this has been the longest and most popular hobby in the history of mankind. The coins over the years have changed and the reason people started to collect them.
Most start Coin Collecting when an elder in the family passes down a few coins to the younger generation. These coins are generally domestic, so the favorite of most collectors are the coins from their own nation.
For Americans the most sought after and prized are the silver dollars. Of all the ones minted, the Morgan Silver Dollar is the most popular and is in the largest quantities. The average price for a decent Morgan Silver Dollar is still approximately $35, but this is not for one of the rare ones.
The extent of your coin collection will be determined by your budget and your interest. For some timing will also play a part in it. This was the case when Czechoslovakia broke up into 2 nations in 1993. These two new nations were called the Czech Republic and Slovakia. For 4 years Slovakia produced coins before joining the European Union and the introduction of the Euro. Most of what was not purchased as collectables has been melted down and are gone forever. They are not that valuable, but rare just the same.
So you see the most popular coins to collect will be determined by the person who has this hobby. There are also no two collections exactly alike.
