  • My feeliings are that Lib nics in XF and up are real bargains......... Seems that most collectors would rather concentrate on the Buffalo series.........

    In the Half dollars, I see the Seated series as undervalued......... Just as interesting with die varieties as the Busties, but not as well known.......... Doesn't get a lot of series collectors because of the sheer number of coins involved, not to mention the difficulty in locationg coins from the 1880's

    Edited to add that Seated Dollars are undervalued as anything but type coins........ Mintages that would make a Morgan collector wince and run home are around $1000 for nice coins

    Seated Half set by WB# - 289 down / 31 to go !!!!!

    Indian cent varieties.

    Compare it to a 1916 5c DDO, for instance. There are 119 PCGS DDO nics out there, the finest a 64 at around $225,000. Compare it to the 1888/7 IHC, 11 certified, 64RB finest - the 64RB worth75K or so. The IHC varieties are way underpriced compared with several other series.

    This thread reminds me of another thread I read this evening in which people were complaining about coins being too expensive right now and how the market needs to settle down....

    As Michael said, there are plenty of opportunities, but on the other hand, is anyone really going to "give" privileged info unless it's old?

    Everything EXCEPT twenty-cent pieces . . . those odd little coins are so overpriced right now that you need to sell them as soon as possible . . . image

    3 cent proofs are dirt cheap considering how small the mintage. Dirt cheap.

    If its "undervalued" now in the hottest market in more than a decade, what will it be worth when the market cools?

    All of you guys must be the ones that have NOT been posting to the “everything is over priced” threads. So we now know who is driving the market, besides the dealers, Ha Ha

    So here is what all of you think is under priced, that’s about all coins except Proof Gold !

    Which coin series do you think is undervalued in today's market and why?

    Depends on how you define "undervalued".

    If that means which coins will be worth more in the future compared to today, then my answer is "All of them". image

    Some may take more time than others but I don't think there are any examples of an overall series declining in price.

    Joe.
