<< <i>Question #4 What is the Oreville List
Oreville is a gentleman who gave his "top 20" suggested buys for the near future.
Here they are:
My list of 20 coin winners in 1999:
(1)All washington quarters in PCGS MS-67 dated 1932-1938.
(2)All standing liberty quarters in MS-67 FH (very undervalued)
(3)All seated liberty coins in MS-67 and MS-68.
(4)All barber dimes in MS-67 and MS-68 and PR-68.
(5)All key 20th century error coins in MS-65 (and if red must be PCGS) and better.
(6)All IHC red cents in PCGS MS-66 and better. PCGS MS-65 and better in the 1870's and PCGS or NGC MS-65 in the 1860's.
(7)All MS-65 and better buffalo nickels EXCEPT the 1938-D.
(8)All mercury dimes in PCGS MS-67 FSB except in the 1940's.
(9)Any Morgan Dollar in MS-65 DMPL. Must be PCGS.
(10)Wheat Lincoln cents in MS-65 red or better. Rolls are too cheap.
11)Washington quarters of the early 1980's. impossible to find in MS-66 or better.
(12)Franklin halves in PCGS MS-66 FBL or better.
(13)Flying Eagle cents in VG or better.

Actually that is quite a good list....
Good job. Too bad I didn't see it until 11 years later.

In any case, for many of the top pops, the quality of the individual coin(s), and the price paid would be more indicative of financial results than the category that coin was in. Many of those coins would upgrade today, and the price appreciation would be more than indicated.
that said, they did pretty well overall. the flying eagles cents in VG stand out as ???
