If You Could Only Search One Coin Denomination...Which would it be?

If you could only search one coin denomination...which would it be?

Do you have more luck with;

Halfs?
Quarters?
Dimes?
Nickels?
Pennies?

Just curious...I've been searching only halfs...but thinking about trying something different. Your advice is priceless!

I'd search cents. If I could search 1,000,000 dollars of any denomination? Cents. No doubt about it. Much more fun to me. Although dumping maybe a little rough :P that or nickels. Yes, the two least desired denominations. Nickels you can find proofs. War. Key dates. Buffaloes. V nickels. All pretty common.
Cents? Woah.
Errors. 1999WAMs. Wheats. Double dies. Proofs. Key dates. Easily find different mint marks. (Ex. 1919D). Flawless wheats
Indian heads. Coppers. So many goodies!!!

I would choose cents, because I love wheaties.

Tough first question: I'd be torn between $3 and $4 gold pieces.

Don that's ridiculous, clearly I'd rather hunt $4 gold pieces than $3 gold pieces. More proofs, more tough to find dates, it's a no brainer. But I'd still rather hunt doubloons.

I'd hunt halves first, then nickels, then pennies, then dimes, then dollars, then quarters. A lot of people here don't appreciate hunting nickels or pennies but for me and the family it's a lot of fun. As Wicka said there's a lot of good stuff to find and I don't even look for varieties or keep copper.

Quarters, hands down.

Quarters, hands down.

Everyone else lists quarters last...why are they your first choice?

 

[BuffaloBoy]

People don't do quarters because they say quarters are so bad. That only means more coins for me to search.

 

[ATGoldGuy]

Thanks Buffalo...I appreciate the reply!

 

[munkirinch]

Pennies.

Because I search Halfs :P

 

[silverlining]

Halves, because I search pennies I also like them because of the possibility of Benjamin's.

As much as I love finding WAM's and finding my 1983 DDO CRHing pennies, I'd have to go with nickels.

I heard about a guy finding a $2.50 gold piece stuck in a nickel roll. I'm sure it's possible to happen again.

I haven't tried anything but Quarters and Halfs. Will have to give nickels a go. How many in a box? How much?
