Actually a great number of coins are undervalued but none more than the unc. and proof Franklin series half dollars. Look for them to jump much more than they already have. Also, from information I have recently received from my dealer, nothing has been more stable or stronger in the last 20 years than the Buffalo nickel and the Indian cent. Finally thinking of starting the an Indian cent collection and will ALWAYS be working the buffalo's!!! They are my favorite!!! |

well... considering popular demand to remove the penny from circulation, I'm proud to be a penny collector because when that penny is removed from the roster, I'm going to be fortunate enough to have the collector's pieces in my hands rather than melted down ^^
with that, I feel the wheaties and indian heads are far undervalued considering their copper content and potential upscale in value with the demise of pennies (which I am sure will happen one way or another).

Realistically, I think it is Walker's and Peace dollars. Walkers have always been popular, but in the high grades, most of even the uncommon dates aren't too expensive. Same deal with Peace dollars - the 28-P has almost the same mintage as the 93P morgen, but the morgen is twice as much - if Peace's become more popular, prices will start to jump to morgen like prices. |

Early Commemoratives--Pre 1954 because they are the best of both worlds. They're a series and yet you don't have to look at the same coin design over and over. It's almost like type collecting except you have all the info you need in one reference book instead of 50. They're racked with historical scandals and people like scandals more than they're willing to admit to. No one, it seems, is paying much attention to them--a contrarian's dream.  |

Longnine009, I agree with your assesment of Classic Commems..I love 'em and am putting a set together...alot of dogs out there in the way of appeal. BUT, they STILL bring strong prices, and once they are appreciated properly for their beauty, man, I'll be happy!
I'll say any key-date coin is a sleeper, (in a strange sense of the word sleeper)....those just stay strong and move forward.

As all of you must know by now, the so called 'sleeping giant' coin will always be the one you could have bought, but passed up for one reason or another. It happens every time, and there is no reason to think it won't be the same this time.

Sheild Nickels and Barber coinage. Most gold Quarter eagles. Low mintages, fair pricing IMO... Mike  |

I agree with Prethen, 3CN. Never mind my avatar, I think that they are interesting enough and currently a pretty good value, if you can find them. Just my Three Cents... |

Actually to be a "sleeping giant" you still NEED demand, and that demand MUST increase to awaken that giant! And, regardless of mintages, if no one is much interested in any particular coin or set the value is NOT going anywhere. It will take a new coin release or a concentrated effort by national dealers, magazines and newspapers to open the eyes of collectors in mass and I really know of nothing ready to "break out" at this time. Last prediction I got was the " Franklin half" and, while prices are slowing creeping upward, the demand has remained subtle in this area. Guess we will have to wait and see? Personally I would still say "Collect the classics as you have age, history and value and do it because of the joy it brings you and the thrill of the hunt. If you find enjoyment in your chosen series of coins then demand and scarcity are NOT important. Future prices will take care of themselves. One thing is for certain, when it comes to the classics, they are NOT making them anymore!" |

How bout a sleeping midget? I figure when 2009 rolls around and the mint issues the special Lincolns they have planned the flavor of the month bunch will focus on those for a while. Most of them are so cheap you can pick them up for next to nothing, even in B.U., but the keys and semi keys will probably have a larger than usual jump in price about then. About that time the State Quarter program will be running down also and once it's over I'm sure that everyone will want complete sets of them as well. Hucksters will be coming out of the woodwork telling us all how they will never be minted again and how rare a complete set will be as well as how the value is just gonna go sky high now that nobody can get them anymore. |
