[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2590860, member: 15929"]The coin which is popular on the current market which depends upon which dealer is selling them and how many they have to sell. In short, buy whatever you want without regard for rarity per dollar value since "value" is relative to whatever someone is willing to pay. For example, only 17,500 IKE Reverse Proofs were made. Less than that amount were sold. For about 3 months, these represented EXCELLENT Rarity per Dollar Value since they were originally sold at $57.95 and then could be resold for $200-$300. But that was then. Today, you can't even get $200 for one. A few years back, I thought to myself "You gotta get a 55/55 Lincoln in an AU Grade because the coin will ALWAYS be desireable since it's a classic collectible!" I'm still looking at a loss on that sucker! BUT, at least I have one. Buy what you like. Better yet, buy a coin that you wouldn't mind losing money on.[/QUOTE]
