What would be your most profitable coin................

BigE

if you bought it two years ago, whether you did or not? Would it be modern commems-and in what quantity, or just one coin like gold commems. or a really rare coin. What do you think was the best investment in coins in the past two years?--------------BigE

Definately, agreed...1999 silver proof sets. I lucked into four of them and don't collect them. I still have them.

Maybe 1954-P MS66 Lincolns...

i think the biggest winners of the last two years

have been coins that have been bought at face value or for a few dollars more than face
and then maybe dipped/cleaned
then sent off to certain grading services
and get into the right holders with the right numbers on them
and then sold for huge money whereas
if the coin would then be broken out of its repsective holder it would decrease dramatically in value!

I have never turned a profit with any of my coins. the coins that value has risen is the 99 proof set. I can't rember what I paid for it new but you can't buy one for under 25.00 now.

My most profitable coin has been a PCGS 1889-CC MS64 I bought a few years back from a dealer in CA for $9700, sold it this year for a bit over $37,000!!!

I'm not selling so I won't realize a profit but my Flowing Hair and Bust Dollars.

My most profitable in terms of % would be the 1988 Silver Eagle I bought in 88. I can't remember precisely, but I believe the coin cost in the 20s. From what I understand, it sells for around $80.

cosmicdebris

Paid $1200 for 1995 W SAE sold it for $2000 3 months later.

Flash

1999 and 2001 Silver proof sets.

Dimetime

The 99 Delaware quarter bags. Paid $35, sold from $400 to $810. Quite a nice return.

braddick

Two Goodacre Sacawageas at $200.00 each, at the start of the promotion, in ICG holders, later wound up in PCGS MS68 holders and sold for about $750.00 each.

The dollar that I got in a box of Cheerios.

Anyone who paid face value for a roll and cherrypicked a top pop coin would have the best profit story.

tjkillian

2001 Buffalo Dollars. Paid ~$30 and sold them for ~$100 in only two weeks.

That's true! I forgot about that. I had a mint roll 1988P nickels and got a 66FS slabbed out of it. Got the roll in 1988 at face value. PCGS says it's worth a lot of money. It's a pop top but shared with about 14 others. So that multiple would be good. 0.05 to 225 (CU's pricing, anyway).
