Five Modern Coins You Should Look For Now!

@Bladd,

The 1968 s proof quarter would need to be in a TPG holder designating the deep cameo. There are many cameo coins that don't make the cut for deep cameo.

I don't see a need to holder the ASE as it is clear to determine the type.

Another great article...

I disagree with searching for most of the late '60's nickels in six steps though. They're great to find but you can go blind trying. I prefer searching for coins that offer a higher probability of success and where near misses are nearly as good as a hit. This is well exemplified by the '81-S dollar. If you look at about 110 of these one will stand out. It won't be worth a lot of money probably but you'll have a nice Gemmy coin. Every once in a while you'll find a spectacular coin. Of course part of the joy of looking for something like an '81-S is that you get to look at a lot of other 1981 coins at the same time and they can be just as much fun to find in spectacular condition as the '81-S (just more commonly found). Actually some '81 issues are just as tough as the dollar. The '81-P quarter is probably just as difficult to find with nice surfaces and as high grade. Two side PL Denver nickels are fun to seek.

There are always more moderns to seek. No matter how good a coin you find there's every chance an even better example exists. For some reason many people think this is to their detriment. I disagree; finding better coins and new varieties in terra incognita is the epitome of the hobby for me.
