    This makes it unanimous. Old coins are underrated and new ones are overrated.

    Auction heck...I have never actually seen one in a collection!!

    Edit to add...but I was lucky enough to see Swampie's O-149.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I think the most underrated/underappreciated area of coins are Seated Dollars.

    I have to believe the 1997 P SMS Jefferson Nickel with only 25,000 Mintage is the most under appreciated of a Modern Series.

    Yep, I agree with Shortgapbob. Seated Liberty dollars, especially with minimal bagmarks, original surfaces, and in AU50+ condition are very good investments. Most of what I see in small dealer inventories in CA, AZ, FL, VA, and MD are coins with altered surfaces and there isn't a lot to choose from.

    SAE's...I agree with to a certain extent, but people are still buying LOTS of them.....
    Morgans...I disagree...sure, they are all over the place,dealers have so many...because again....people buy them!!!

    I have to believe the 1997 P SMS Jefferson Nickel with only 25,000 Mintage is the most under appreciated of a Modern Series.

    The 1942-P proof Type II nickel has a 27,600 mintage, is the only proof war nickel, and costs about the same as the 1997 P SMS.

  • jimmymacjimmymac Posts: 505 ✭
    dont know if this coin is underated, but it's starting to gain legitimacy in numismatic circles*drum roll*- the 1971 D IKE FEP (friendly eagle pattern) - believe this coin in future years will be a keeper and much sought after - besides being an interesting coin, it also has an interesting history behind it.

    Non-W Unc platinum coins. Tiny mintages (Lots under 10,000) yet barely go for over melt. You can smack one with a hammer and only lose $20.00.

    2006W fractional unc gold, especially the 1/2 and 1/4 oz. Lowest mintages in the series and they're selling for melt.
