Okay, how about this. What would you buy now that 20 years from now your excited grandkids would take to a coin dealer and not be told that they were worthless? Doesn't matter what they take to them there is no guarantee the dealer won't tell them that it is worthless, even if it isn't. And if they don't appear to know what they have. Edited by Conder101

I'll concur with most modern Proofs and quite a few modern commemoratives. State Quarters with a minor Strike Doubling seen under a 10x glass for something like $20 or $50 each as SUPER RARE DDO's. There are going to be some very disappointed victims/buyers. Columbian Expo half dollars. The same amount of money spent on newly minted 189x Barber halves would have been a much more profitable investment. "Unsearched" rolls of anything. Period. The "small date/large date" craze when applied to the 1960-d and 1982 cents. Anything in a NNC basement slab. Not all odd investments are losers: the people who saved BU rolls of post-silver 1960's quarters or 1982/1983 Philadelphia mint coins must have been thought to be really, really strange or poorly informed when they were stashing those rolls. They're now the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

How about brass coins collected for bullion value? (Aluminum coins I guess could be recycled with soda cans.)

I see so many of those "unsearched" rolls for sale on ebay. Are the comments posted about the great finds all done by shills? |

The undated 20p from 2008. They were snapped up on ebay at the time for £300+ Now selling for £30 to £40. Also prices for 1950 an 51 1d's haven't effectively moved since the mid 60's |

Well, no proof sets in 1965, 1966, or 1967, so 1968 and on is more accurate.  |

This is a very entertaining thread. I've just read through the whole thing and enjoyed everyone's comments.

Like I said before, my entire US collection consists of Proof sets from 1999 onward. I guess my plans to retire off the massive profits and buy a boat are all gone. I guess I will sell everything and invest in Susan B. Anthony dollars. Got a feeling about those beautiful things. |
