Are these coins worth getting low mintage certified ones? For the Standing, I see the 1927-s and Liberty Walking I see a 1921-d. I just figure if these are so cheap (esp. in au), why would they ever appreciate 10 years from now? Probably slow growers.. Your thoughts?
The '21-D Walker is not a cheap coin in any certified grade, espeically if you can find one certified in AU and it looks nice. I'd guess that the cheapest certified AU55-58 would be $3000-$3500 if you can even find one. The '27-D SLQ is only relatively cheap because it is overshadowed by lower mintage '27-S SLQ which goes for significantly more. Haven't followed these that much though. Both Standing Liberty Quarters and Walking Liberty Halves are widely collected so I wouldn't call either series a slow grower.
What do you mean man??? Look at the prices of the 27-s Standing Liberty. Come on, imagine that hitting $2000 in worth .. When will that happen? Not in 10 years that's probably for sure! lol.
A '27-S SLQ in AU55-58 is already a $2500-$3000 coin. Not sure what you're trying to say. In your original post you were referring to a '27-D and that coin goes for significantly less money.
Somebody is confused in this thread. What illini said is true. A '27-D SLQ in AU though is less than $200. A '21-D Walker in AU can range from around $4k to almost $10k. Those numbers are probably a bit weaker given market conditions.
And I don't believe it's me it was more like a typo. Okay, Redbook has a 1927-S Standing liberty going from $40-7k in ms-63. I see these coins go for $50-$500 on ebay. So, when I say these seem like slow growing coins, I mean it. For it to be worth only $200 in vf state after all these years of being around(and the mintage being so low) makes me think they really can't appreciate in high thousands in the next few decades. I know some of you dispute that, but if after so many years this coin was around, in vf state, why is it only worth $100-200 now?
I don't follow you BNB. I think a price of a few hundred bucks in VF grades is very strong for a 20th century coin. What are you comparing it to that you feel it should be worth more. You cant compare it to the 1916 because that coin is the undisputed key to the series and is one of the most sought after coins in United States history. Also, mintage does not mean everything. You have to look at the number of coins extant. There are almost 1,900 1927-S SLQs certified by PCGS & NGC and they span every grade all the way to MS67. The number of serious collectors in the circulated grades is not substantial enough to drive prices upward IMO.
If you think these are cheap coins than buy all you can afford. You will not find a more beautiful United States mint design than the standing or walking liberties.
Which is why all my coins are in Whitman Albums. No slabs of any kind. I really don't care about the value, only if I like them.
The 21-D Walker is a coin to watch. I got a raw one a couple years ago for about $250 in G-4. A month ago I got a slabbed G-4 for $310. It's in an old small white ANACS slab. I think the 21-D is tougher to find. I have three raw 27-S quarters, they are not that tough to find.
