If your fairy godmother said she would pay you your most optimistic valuation of your main series, B

pharmer

you had to reinvest the entire amount in another series at today's prices, what would you do?

In other words you get to cash out at the top with your old favorite, but you have to go a new direction and spend the entire amount. What would you divest yourself of? What would you start investing in?

I'd dump my 67 wheats and buy gem bu Barber dimes.

How about you?

I would sell all my highly valued proof Roosevelts and I would probably buy MS Seated Quarters

Hey Pharmer,
I personally think that Lincoln's are not a bad place to be going forward, that said---I think Barber's have their following, but nothing near the depth of say early coinage collectors.

I think as some of the money from Wall and Broad starts to see around those shadows, a lot of it is going to find its way into rare cars/rare coins and plush country clubs--to name a few. There is a LOT of wealth retiring in the next 10 years and I don't see the desire to leave it all to their heirs---I see a lot of discretionary spending on stuff ---- like coins.

As for coins----- this real wealth IS NOT going to chase the modern ubber goober craze, nor is it going to chase Barbers or standing libs.... it is going to chase coins starting with 17 and early 18's, and it is going to chase early commems ---look at FATS stuff --- can you say CHA-CHING, and it is going to chase gold----early gold especially.......

All my opinions of course.

Take care buddy.

Well put and thought out, John. Sounds like jayboxx is thinking along the same lines.

Sell all my Morgs and buy all denominations dated 1897.
