I have funds to pay for a major coin purchase. Of the certified (PCGS or NGC) coins listed below, which one would have the most upside potential in the years to come? * 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cent (MS - red) * 1932 D Washington quarter (MS) * 2019 S Enhanced Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle (PR/PF) Yes, they are all expensive, but I'd like to add one of these coins to my collection. |

No,No Not the S-VDB . It has virtually stayed the same price for 50 or more years ; Same with the 32-D Quarter . So out of your three it would be the 2019-S enhanced reverse proof American silver eagle .

I don't know if you can count on any of these having upside potential. They are all pretty common but desirable. As I own 2 1909 S VDB and 2 2019 S-ERP, I think both are good long term holds. The 1932D quarter isn't (to me) in the same desirability as the other 2. But I don't collect quarters hence I have no interest. You also have to take into consideration that you can get a graded 1932 D for under $300 (VF/XF) good luck finding the S VDB in any grade for that price. Now if it was me and I wanted a guaranteed return, I would put the money in a low cost S&P 500 index fund. If I what I wanted was a nice key date buy the one that you like the most.

Hard to say, these aren't exactly "sleepers". The 09 and 32 are common and have their value only driven by popularity. I would buy a nice large cent or draped bust half dollar, something older and in higher grade.
If I had to choose from these three, I would choose a spotless, even red 1909 S VDB.

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!
