Numismatic ... not bullion related stuff.

All glory is fleeting.

    High end CAC coins.

    Really??
    Where would you bring these, to get at least 50C on the dollar?

    Agree with the mid grade common CC Dollars. They are not only readily available and easy to sell but have maintained a steady value.

    What coins sell the most in auctions? Those are the most liquid (completed sales). My thought is that it would be ANY Morgan and Peace dollar. Empirical data are readily available at GC and likely Ebay.

    Just my two cents.

    Grades---they seem to be rather fluid.

    Good one!

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    What's most liquid can change fairly rapidly I believe. Not that I researched it but there probably was some spiking in sales last year for silver Mercury dimes, Standing, and Walking Liberties.

    Oh, and who could forget possibly the hottest U.S Mint item ever....the silver American Liberty medal from 2016.

    Not a type of coin but instead a hot ticket item over the past year or two seems to be vividly (natural) toned silver coins.

    I would say Morgan dollars if price is at "current market" level.

    Numismatic coins can be a risky investment, the more big ticket, the more the risk involved. They are very liquid if you start them at 99c in an ebay auction. Unless can buy them right, not usually a buyer of them. On numismatics try to find a level of risk per coin your comfortable with and try to live with that. I had two world bullion coins - slabbed MS69 sell for 2x my cost recently (one think only had a couple of weeks) even though bullion has hardly moved - this makes me very happy. I have coins G06 thru MS70 in my inventory so there is no cutoff for me grade wise - its just all in the deal. I use the NN Better Date Key coin listing as a guide and shop for key coins via AS - have bought some lately various issues VG10 - XF45.

    Early federal coinage especially in PCGS holders with CAC stickers.

    State quarters. Buy and sell prices are both at 25 cents each.

    Buyers are lined up at McDonalds, Starbucks, etc. at full face value.

    Better date Morgan Dollars graded 60-64 in the 100-1500 price range.

    Plenty of places to sell these, wholesale and retail.

    everything is liquid at the right price.

    Highest prices Im seeing right now for highest graded bust half dollars, there are two collectors out there who just have to have them.

    Lowest prices I saw for dated high grade half eagles 1813 - 1834, as there seem not to be any date collectors right now and they all went to dealers who put them away.

    So one thing I learned last year is that value doesnt depend so much on rarity or quality of a coin, it depends more on how many people are collecting the area the coin fits in and how much money they have and are willing to spend.

    Seated anything seems to be doing well according to what I have seen.

    Liquid?
    I'd say anything sold at a no reserve auction.

    Morgans and Lincolns.... If a true study was made, recording numbers of coins that sold over a year, a pareto chart would almost certainly have these two as leaders. Cheers, RickO

    If it has a CC on it, it's as liquid as the Atlantic Ocean.
