Whats the best value in rarities?

Are there any very rare PCGS or NGC high condition rarities that are relatively cheap because they are unpopular. Maybe 1/2 cent, 2 cent, or 3 cent pieces?

What's the single best deal on a rare coin? Will it always be cheap because it's unpoplular (such as the non-utilized denominations I listed above)?

Just look at the top pops in the seated series, esp. 1/2 dimes thru halves. You can own numerous top pop GEM coins in the 5-15K range. Compared to moderns, rare date gold, Morgans, 20th cent. sets, there's no comparison in the rarity for dollar spent. Only drawback is that the demand for dated seated lags those other popular sets by a long ways.

There are lots of relative bargains in patterns, especially in grades higher than 65. Pattern collectors don't pay huge premiums for wonder coins.

I think that day is coming..........once regular issue pop tops no longer make any sense.

With 1963 cents at 30K, I have to wonder when that day will come!
