Are these overvalued, undervalued or just right?

I think it depends on how much you pay for them & what they look like

Paying "too much" for a monster coin could be a bargain!

But, paying 10% back of bid for a fugly, spotted, played with coin that some how snuck into a legitimate holder could be way too much.

Gotta buy the coin, not the plastic - and remember, the greysheet/blue sheet is a only a GUIDE - it doesn't buy or sell coins.

Spot/distraction free examples I would consider a good value at current prices, although the prices have been inching up a touch.

As said above, messed with, or spotted pieces should be avoided, and those are the coins that keep the "wholesale sheet" levels supressed.

Any eye appealing example will sell for over bid levels, easily. Check the auction prices realized in the last Heritage Signature/Bullet sales for proof.

The same can be said for Barber proof coinage, as well as other early proof type coinage. The mintages are usually very low, and the prices don't seeem to reflect that low mintage. Most likely a demand issue, which doesn't put full pressure on the market to raise the prices.

Fabulous blue-toned Indian Cent proofs were all the rage in Pittsburgh. Larry Shepard displayed his collection of these and Tom Turissini added his beauties. These are selling for many multiples of regular proofs. In fact toned coins in general are very hot right now.

for the right coins with the right looks proof brown and red brown ..........cameoed /colored/great eye appeal totally undervalued


for nice coins in higher grades of brown and red brown proof 66 and especially so proof 67 with good to great eye appeal .............. strongly undervalued

i love good looking proof copper nickel cents with cameo an added plus but hard to find/almost impossible to find good looking even in gem grades totally truly undervalued coins

Here's a nice cheap one I've always regretted selling. (ANACS PR62 RB; sold it for around $125 about two years ago.)

I've looked into buy a proof IHC before. I personally think they might even be undervalued... but beautifully toned coins can be found at sheet prices!! I found an AWESOME PF64RB on Pinnacle's web site that was only like $20 or $30 over sheet prices!!
