When I first started, like you, I would find and hoard my silver finds.
I would also put aside any coins that I found interesting or caught my eye for one reason or another.
There are many different types of collectors here. Some sort for silver only. Some sort for dates that are important in their lives. Some sort for errors. Some sort to piss off their spouses!
Bottom line.. its YOUR collection! If you want to sort for your birth year.. go for it! If you want to sort for low mintages.. go for it! If you want to sort so you have one coin of every year & mint.. be my guest!
Obviously, the silver coins in the series are the most valueable in the lowest grades. Proofs and cameos will generally command a higher price. Bottom line is, you can personalize your collection any way you want.
And, in the future, you want to liquidate the collection, you know that all of the non-silver will be worth at least .50!
