Good morning all,
I thought it would be interesting to have some of the real experts here identify what they believe to be some of the more "undervalued" coins, dates, and mint marks within your "coin of choice"... Perhaps your assertation of being undervalued is blatant and obvious, and perhaps it is more subtle...I just ask that your estimate not be solely based on being a "homer", i.e. you pick a few dates because you physically own lots of that date!
I will start with Morgans, as I am a newbie, and I see that a lot of newbies start with Morgans, sometimes as a positive consequence due to ease of availability, relative to other coins...
In my opinion, there are not many "undervalued" Morgans, as they get a ton of "airtime", but I do see some subtle things:
-------------------------
1901-O Morgan - Perhaps this one is undervalued by 10-20%, based on submission numbers compared to other slabbed data.
1902-p, 1903-p, and 1904-p Morgans - Although I only one 1902-p and one 1903-p, and zero 1904-p... It seems that these are undervalued by perhaps 10-15% relative to slabbed data across the run of Morgans.
1891-p Morgan - Seems like this one is RARELY slabbed in a n MS-63 or higher grade... I keep trying to swipe a Raw 1891-p, to no avail. The numbers and current market values at PCGS, NGC, and Bowers/Whitman Guidebook certainly show this coin some love, but I just cannot get an MS63 or higher to save my life for this one... Estimated less than 10,000 coins slabbed over MS63 in its entirity...

The base-metal crowns of the world. This includes the Eisenhower dollar, but there's so many more from other countries. Right now nobody loves these, but the large silver coins are getting more and more inaccessible - and large coins have a special appeal regardless of their composition. |

Definitely the 1947 maple leaf dollar, in low grades it can be had for a couple hundred meanwhile the famous 1948 silver dollar is $900 in F grade.
The mintages for the 2 are extremely close too!
1948 18780 minted
1947ml 21135 minted
Feel free to call me Will.

Nearly all of the US $3 gold, especially 1856-1889. They mostly have mintages below 10,000, and coins of similar mintages cost many multiples of these, especially the 1873 open 3 with 25 made, 1876 with 45 made. and 1881 with 500 made. The later dates of the Liberty quarter eagle also fall under this category.

Believe in multiple series, not quite all, but most, therein lies several dates/mm that are truly elusive with full strikes and/or luster. My primary collection is Lincoln wheat cents. There are several dates/mm that, believe it or not, are hard to find with good strikes. With copper, of course, BN/RB/RD designation is actually a secondary decision maker in this series. Buffalo nickels - VERY tough series. IMHO, this entire series, is actually multiple series within - because of strike quality. Standing Liberty quarters - nearly the same as Buffs. Washington quarters (silver AND clad) - tough series - when you really start digging through dealer inventories. GREAT question! |

I heard Roosevelt dimes are an underrated series in general, especially for higher uncirculated examples with a full strike. |
