[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1253554, member: 13650"]It's good thinking. It would probably be wise to stash rolls of Kennedy halves IMO. They aren't made for circulation and they only make about 1.5 mil of each mint mark for collectors now. I think the series will become very popular when it's eventually discontinued. The other stuff I don't know. Part of the problem is that there are many factors that make it seem it isn't worth it. Not only are they making millions, but some mintages are in the billions these days. There's more people, more dealers, more being hoarded. Because everybody thinks everything's going to be valuable. Stuff that's cheap now will probably still be cheap 100 years from now. The huge numbers are a detriment to anything ever being rare any more. At the ANA show, there was a dealer who had a case full of the Constitution $5 gold commems from 1987. It looked like he had about 100 of them. And there were 865,884 of those made total. By today's standards, a low mintage but not low enough to where they're rare or demand a premium. Despite being 24 years old. That being said, I was looking for a 2001 silver dollar commemorative there the whole time and I didn't spot even ONE example of either MS or PF in any case. Very surprising.[/QUOTE]
