Hoarders of keys dates?? Which ones??

20centman · December 4, 2003 7:07AM

Do you know anyone that is hoarding key date coins? Of course you here about a person that SUPPOSE to have a roll of 1909-s VDB's in a safe deposit box here in Houston. I would just love to see them but here again I wonder how many are counterfeits? I collect 20centers for me but I wouldnt consider myself a hoarder but what constitutes a hoarder? 50 or more? 100 more??

I personally know somebody (by name) who is hoarding 1932 D & S quarters in various grades. So far he has over 1600 of them.

I have 2 14d cents, does that consitute a hoard?

Veridicus · December 4, 2003 7:35AM

I'm hoarding 1873-s Seated Dollars. I have all known specimens.

KollectorKing · December 4, 2003 7:41AM

My collecton of MS & cir 93-CC Morgans is almost double digit; is that a hoard

20centman · December 4, 2003 7:44AM

WOW! Shassam 2 14-d pennies. Thats a hoard in my book, thats 2 more than I have.

20centman · December 4, 2003 7:45AM

Thats a hoarder!! WOW 1600 Nice little nest egg there!!

20centman · December 4, 2003 7:53AM

Yea I would say so because of the rarity of the coin. I wish I had about double digit 1893-cc dollars in fine or better. You just dont see them in high grade. But here again thats with all the key dates in all the denominations. There fastly disappearing from the market.

oreville · December 4, 2003 7:57AM

I have a friend who still has a $1000 face US Mint bag left of 1983-P quarters.

That's a monopoly...I thought monopolies are illegal in the US

I don't know why anybody would want to hoard a particular coin.

There's the guy in CA (I forget his name) who has 500-600 1844 Seated Dimes. He tried to sell them at auction as one lot not long ago (didn't meet reserve).

Ditto

The Daddy of Irish coins is the 1943 florin, of which only about 35 are known. I know of someone who has three of them- almost 10% of the population. And one of the ones he had was a PCGS MS65- maybe the finest known?

Dave99B · December 4, 2003 9:22AM

Key dates? No. But I am hoarding 1798 Large Cents, in the AG-VG range. I have just over 30. Only about 999,970 to go.

By the time I get finished buying rolls of 1960D cents they WILL be a key date.

nccoin · December 4, 2003 10:12AM

Madmarty and Russ,
I believe in hoarding key date coins, along with many collectors, as an investment. Key dates go up in value. It is as simple as that. I have 15-20 Lincoln 1931-S cents. BU coins of this date are still quite affordable under a hundred bucks a coin.
Some people just have a date that is a personal favorite of theirs. I am sure their are many differn't reasons people hoard. It's all about the joy of collecting.

tporreca · December 4, 2003 10:13AM

Hmmm... 48 more to go to get a roll of 1909-s vdb.

I'm trying to keep a roll of all 20th century coins. Have no idea why I started, wish I didn't and now I have a "hoard" of coins. Have been concentrating on a type set of late.

Here is my mini hoard of 1897-S Barber Halves. I try to hoard certain dates then I think, "what the helll am I doing" and I quit hoarding.

1- XF
3- VF
2- Fine

jcping · December 4, 2003 11:26AM

Do you believe someone on this board has a small hoard (double digits) of PCGS MS64+ 1916P standing liberty quarters

JoeHolt · December 4, 2003 11:33AM

well Im up to haveing 79 1967 SMS sets with extras of all in singles

Wow!

This wholesales at over $80,000 now, but such a huge number hitting the market at one
time would definitely lower the price for a while.

clw54 · December 4, 2003 11:59AM

I have five 1931-S cents. That's a beginning...

Nccoin,

I was kidding, and Marty's a doofus.

I thought you might be kidding Russ, cause I know you have tons of those proof JFK's!
