If the conversations on this board and what I see at shows is correlative, it seems that pennies and ASE have huge bases to drive demand on the keys, and that should hold values up. Quarters honestly don't seems to get a hole lot of attention, and I'm not sure how big and passionate the base is. This deep and thorough analysis is based on my 15 second hunch trying to recall what I see more of. Definitely more pennies and ASE. That being said, none of them are truly rare and I can't promise that any or them will make fantastic long term investments. Maybe the better question is, "what do you like most?" It's your $ and the coin is going to be sitting in your collection, not ours. Its your bank account taking a hit and your eyes and heart that need to find joy in what they see and hold. |

If It were me to make this decision, would take up the 2019 Enh RP first, then the 1909-S VDB, and finally the 1932-D

Well, there you have it. Take it for what it's worth, we all have our preferences and opinions.  Buy the one that calls out to you, for whatever reason. Best of luck.... |

I would choose the cent or quarter. As you've mentioned long term, look at the comparable 1995 W ASE Proof. It steadily rose (PCGS report) to a peak of $6750 in 2006, holding for a full year before settling at the $3,000-$4,000 range since 2008. While it's still too early to say, I would think the rise and fall should be similar for the 2019. What I'm also basing my person factoring on is popularity. The Lincoln Cent has been the number one collected coin denomination/series for decades. While the ASE has been equally popular for thirty-five plus years, but with a design change the question arises as to whether or not this holds consistent as with Old Abe. Also keep in mind these are bullion and not coinage. The popularity could change dramatically like the Krugerand of the 1980's where popularity is concerned in today's world bullion market. Just my thoughts and opinion. All three would almost certainly guarantee a tidy return long term.

Honestly, it's a silly question without specific grades in each category. How about a 67RD SVDB? C'mon.  |

My recommendation of the three is the Lincoln 1909-S VDB, as I believe there will always be more collectors putting together a series of Lincoln Cents than a series of Washington quarters or a series of ASE's. I like the way you think in defining the Lincoln Cent to be purchased as having a RED designation, as the demand will be greatest for those that can afford it. Regardless of the grade you pick, if you can afford it, I would suggest getting one that merits a CAC. I truly believe even down the road demand for these quality coins will still be strong!

I have been following the 1909-s vdb since I started putting a collection together 20 or so years ago. The one good piece of advice my LCD gave me was that Lincolns may stay stagnant for awhile but usually don't drop in value (older wheats I am talking about). For me the VDB has risen in value since I first wanted to purchase one. I am not sure whether silver or copper is collected more but going to a few coin shows, I find there are way less wheats to choose from than silver. I am biased though , because I love the Lincolns. Let us know what you decided. I think John's advice is very good and totally agree with his order of purchase.

I bought my 1909s VDB 34 years ago for $800, now it should sell for $1000. With the value of the dollar now compared to 34 years ago, did this coin really increase in value?

I would not expect significant appreciation from any of these three coins in years to come.

In future years the coin will cost more but not worth much more if you factor in inflation. Since covid started coin prices on ebay seemed to have increased but are now trending downward. At least the coins I want to purchase. This is not a proven fact just a loose observation. I do not have hard facts to prove anything I just stated. Just thoughts. |

My suggestion is to buy gold instead!
