Key dates of popular series, usually. 1802 half dollar 1889-CC morgan 1923-S Stamdomg Liberty Quarter 1916-D dime 1901-S Barber quarterThose are some examples, but most cost well over $1000 in even a low grade. If your budget it lower, might want to try a low certified 1914-D lincoln, or even a 1950-D jefferson. Those are not that expensive but have sure gone up a lot lately. |

And what about the most modern commemorative and collector coins from lat eg. 5-10 years? Could you find similar examples of very big profit margins?

Are you looking for information or opinions on what may rise in value. These are just for info 1999 Silver Proof set 2001 Silver & Clad Proof Sets 2004 Wisconsin Quarter with the Extra Leaf 2006 ASE Reverse proof also I am sure there are some commemoratives, but I don't collect them. If you had purchased these as issued, they have gone up in value. Whether coins go up in value to me, doesn't matter. I buy coins that I like. |

With newer coins, it all depends on the mintages and popularity.

Or maybe not, since (for instance) every single State Quarter ever minted each had production figures exceeding the total number of Morgan dollars ever produced. Modern prices are driven by demand, not rarity (excepting errors). Moderns are not, and never will be, rare. I suspect very strongly that the bottom will drop out of the Modern market as soon as the economy recovers and other investment vehicles begin looking more attractive. |

I think the last time something like that happened was with the 2006 20th anniversary 3 coin silver eagles, they sold for $100.00 and went up to $500.00 within a few months and now I think they have dropped a little bit from there but still 3 or 4 times what you paid for them isn't bad for a couple years

 I am fond of the 16-D Mercury dime any grade and certified by either PCGS,NGC,or ANACS. This way you can be assured it's genuine and come time to sell, you get more bang for your buck. But any of the "keys to the series" and some semi-keys (1914-D 1C,1921 25C,1913-S 25C,1896-S 25C) to name a few, have also done well over the years. swcoin.ecrater.com

There are plenty of rare and scarce moderns. Even some of the extremely common ones are quite elusive in nice collectible condition. There are simply thousands of examples of high mintage modern US and world coins which have gone up 200 fold or more. My favorite example is the exceedingly common 1950-E East German 10p which sells for $1000 in unc. There are more valuable ones. Try finding a nice '82-P quarter with a good strike from nice dies. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Sorry. I misunderstood. Still there is every possibility that some of the new coins are not being saved in sufficient number for the potential demand or are being saved in insignificant numbers. The low mintage commems could attract a lot of demand. Some of the states coins might not be getting saved in the huge numbers people believe because they are being taken for granted. Then there are the coins that are out of the spotlight like the dimes. Are these getting saved? They're different than the mint set coins now days. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
