In your opinion, what U.S. coin or coins do you think is a sleeping giant and under valued at this time and why do you think this?
Thanks,
Tim

Simple.... All bison errors.
Why..... Single issue. Popular Design. There a lot of very cool varieties that I feel will become a "type set" of error varities of the bison.

3CN - Very few collectors by date; a lot of low mintage/low population years and low prices to boot.

Capped Bust Half Dimes. Way underpriced, IMO. And I couldn't even spot a nice, problem-free XF one today at the show. |

I think the Walkers and the Franklins are going to increase pretty well in the next 5-10 years. Peace dollars also. Morgans will increase in price even more during that time and there will be less and less people who can actually afford them which in turn will cause the other three mentioned to gain in popularity. Now, I could be full of you know what too.  |

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.
