Not hot=Whatever they don't.
<< <i>Pop. Tops in popular PCGS Registry sets, notably in 20th century series such as Walkers, Silver Commemoratives, Mercury dimes, Washington quarters and Lincoln Cents. >>
If they really knew the market, that would also say early date Kennedy Half Dollars.

<< <i>Two guys say Peace dollars are not hot; that's one of the few series that I find too be hot. Just look at the prices which 1928 Peace dollars are realizing vice what the PCGS price guide says. >>
My experience with Peace Dollars is that you can sell the 1921 and the 1928 easily. The rest languish. I can understand the 1921 because it's a one year type and pretty neat especially when the coin is well struck. I don't understand the attraction to the 1928 unless you are working on a set, but 1928 dated coins sell quite well.
<< <i>Lightly toned Commemoratives--MS65-66
Undipped, original coins are trading at close to sheet levels, which seem low for coins in this popular series. >>
I agree that these coins are under appreciated and probably under valued. With the advent of NCS and some of the current thinking about "happy shiny coins" that exists out there, I think it very possible that these coins will be much scarcer and more appreciated down the road.
The heavy color coins are obvious. These coins are for the numismatists.
To phrase it like Lucy would: More lightly toned commemoratives for me.

Yet surprised no one mentioned Barber series.
I've been to 3 local shows in Boulder, CO; Austin, TX; and LA areas in the last month. Each show had about 30-80 tables. I did not see a single MS64 or better Barber in NGC or PCGS. Now that's what I call hot when no one is selling it or even has it at any price.
are over graded or significantly over priced. It is almost impossible to find a truly nice
coin in either MS or PR at anywhere near gray sheet ask.

Agree or disagree with their opinions...it is still beneficial to read what other professional numismatists are thinking.
<< <i>Hot=Whatever they have for sale. Not hot=Whatever they don't. >>
Placid, before making such unfair and inaccurate remarks, why don't you at least read the article, compare the areas/issues mentioned as "hot" or "not hot" to what we have listed for sale, and THEN comment?
I guarantee you, we have plenty of coins for sale which we consider "not hot" and we don't have offerings from a number of areas that we do consider "hot". Let me know if I'm correct or not. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize publicly.
You are sorely mistaken if you think we necessarily equate "hot" with good/desirable or "not hot" with bad/undesirable. In fact, we often suggest that collectors take advantage of "not hot" areas, when buying and likewise, take advantage of "hot" areas when selling.
All of that aside, you still failed in your duty by not mentioning early date Kennedy Halves.

whats left to be hot or cold in the series.

I think Pinnacle is hot! They are buying way too many cool rare date gold coins for me to keep up. Roman and GBW collections. Great articles on the website. Nice people to work with.
(Now Coinguy1, PM me for where to send the check
<< <i>Since Russ already owns 97% of the extent Kennedies >>
Bear, I think it's actually 108% and climbing. Yes, you read it correctly. Since the existing population was insufficient to meet Russ's "needs", he's started to mint them himself.

<< <i>Edited: Robert, to what address shoud I send the check?....yikes, this was supposed to be a PM, wasn't it?
Gee this guy bribes people to post positive things about him.
Wait, maybe it was meant in jest
I will post scans of all the checks I get from Pinnacle.
Actually, sadly, all of the checks have gone in the other direction.
