The seated quarters and half dollars from the 1880s come to mind, many with a mintage below 10,000 and still reasonably priced. What else fits the bill?   07-26-2009, 02:23 PM   #2 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,442 Define reasonably priced? Cause I think there are other series like the shield nickel with small mintages that are reasonbly priced - yet still beyond the average coin collector's budget. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

Eventually they won't be moderns anymore and then people will pay the premium they pay for the classics. The 2008 gold buffalo fractionals are destined to be classics for example if they aren't already.   07-26-2009, 04:24 PM   #4 (permalink) majorbigtime Senior Member   Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 426 Quote: Originally Posted by mark_h Define reasonably priced?

Mintage under 10 thousand,, available in at least fine grade under $500.   07-26-2009, 05:39 PM   #5 (permalink) dpoole Junior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 6 3CN proofs were made in small mintages; for the first 13 years of the series, the mintages were only 500-1000 or so. There are many well-preserved, very nice specimens, and they never caught fire price-wise, even in the recent coin boom market.   07-26-2009, 05:50 PM   #6 (permalink) cladking Coin Collector   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 1,458 My Mood: There's an awful lot of cheap gold out there. Very few people can afford to collect US gold by date so very low mintages can be had for a song. __________________ Tempus fugit   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
