Post an under appreciated coin in your area of interest

Very tough date and completely under the radar the 44, 45, and 46 trio are great value in the Liberty Eagle series.

Here are two of the three:

MisterSmithGuesser

I don't have one, but as far as Roosevelt dimes, the 1974-P with full torch lines. None in the PCGS population -- only two in NGC's

MGLICKER

1894 Morgan. Co key in the series with 110,000 mintage.

Certainly not scarce relative to other series, but I believe unappreciated as AU examples can be picked up for under $1500.

Recent Ebay pickup.

Mint error clips do not get much respect and people think they can be faked which they can not be.

I don't have pics of the coins in my collection, but among large cent major varieties, I think the 1795 Lettered Edge (struck on
thick planchets) and the 1823 N-2 (non-overdate), are both far scarcer than the '95 Plain Edge (thin planchets) and 1823/2 counterparts
than many people realize.

With the exception of the 1792 half disme, most any early half dime (1794 to 1805) could be called "under appreciated." While it is true that these coins are expensive, low mintages and low survival rates make all of the dates of these coins very scarce to rare. These tiny coins are far rarer than the early silver dollars, but they don't get a lot of press because some collectors really dislike them because of their small size. Here is a 1796 half dime with the "normal date." "Coin Facts" estimates that there are 500 of these coins in existence. I think that estimate is high given the number of pieces I have seen offered over the 40 years that I have been following this series. I'd say that it is more like 250 pieces .. perhaps 300 if you include all of the damaged examples.

Some small ancient coins are similarly under appreciated compared to small US coins. I spend all of my time viewing them on massive digital images anyway, so I don't mind their smaller size:

Agree with that, particularly the 1794 (even though they were minted a year later).

Under appreciated by the Cherrypickers' Guide and PCGS Registry Complete Variety Sets...

Seems like 2 cent pieces are one of the orphans in the world of collecting, but I like them!

without going into too much detail, MOST remarriages of the capped bust half dime series are underappreciated and misunderstood. So here are two die remarriages from 1832 that are underappreciated. Good luck finding any example, let alone XF or better, of 1832 LM-10.2 or 10.3:

Not only are these dramatically doubled, they are 1817/4 rare even after 30 years of looking by specialists and only the best Trade dollar collections have one. I can't even trace one being sold publicly properly attributed.

When this was first presented here earlier this year, several respondents made light of the dark stain on the coin. Too bad they had no clue that it isn't post mint damage. Aside from the fact that it is so rare that values have not even been introduced to the listing in the Redbook.

Any common date barber qtr with this look:

I'd vote for the 1820 quarter with "small 0". It sells for no premium, but it is MUCH harder to find in mid-grade problem free condition than its large 0 siblings. I've not yet found one that I really like.

While the 1840 quarter can be elusive in lower grades it is downright rare in MS.



1873 open 3 are relatively common to the closed 3 type but try and find one.

A prominent figure in my town (the Head Basketball coach of South) who I hadn't met or known at the time , stopped in the shop one day. We chatted for a while and he asked me if I was interested in purchasing a coin. "sure" I said.

He pulls this out.


We negotiated a price and settled near $500. He was happy, I was happy.

Considering I'd been working a long time on my third or fourth "everyman" raw set, but this time in a Capital Holder,
I couldn't have been happier. I think this one is way under appreciated.
Yet, the point being : I finally finished that set because the overdate was the only one left to fill.

And I was beginning the UPGRADE to natural MS coins as I could find the in the raw, thus replacing the others (white , dipped and lustrous) , when a couple weeks later, a nice gentleman walks in with his wife and says , What do you have that you like. And within minutes, this went OUT THE DOOR.

And my hope is it is as appreciated as I appreciated it. Because it's under appreciated in my area of interest. Ever regret selling something ? No matter how trivial ?

I almost always do



And why "joey" ? that's easy. The overdates are under appreciated here and down under.
