Mordern Coins to Future Key Dates

The '05 to '08 issues probably have the best opportunities since gems are available in mint sets for earlier states. Some of these can be tough even in the mint set so gems of something like the DE might go much higher but numbers of those saved for the early dates was very high. This means chUnc will be common for almost all these. Near gems will be tough for the '05+ and DE. I do save all the nice choice coins and better except for the extremely common dates. I keep my eyes open for choice and gemmy rolls of the later dates.

There's a lot of opportunity in the states coins if you think outside the box and don't mind waiting. Just don't risk a lot of money. There's no real risk if you set aside nice choice silver coins at spot if you like silver anyway. Why hold junk when you can hold something with potential. If silver crashes then these should still have some premium so you don't lose all your silver investment. Just use common sense and remember it's a hobby. Watch the hobby, watch the trends, watch what other collectors are doing and saying. Don't get yourself into a position that you need to make a profit or get much return. The hobby is for fun and you'll not only enjoy it more if you're having fun but you'll probably profit more.

I can't shake the feeling that way too many states coins have been rereleased in the last three years. There were way too many saved. It was probably as high as 30,000,000 for some date/ mm's plus another 25,000,000 pulled out of circulation and put in folders. But I keep seeing a lot of BU specimens in rolls the last few years. They are obviously released at the same time since there will be two or more of the same date/ mm in the same batch of rolls. This is so common that it has to total billions of coins nationwide since '08. Again, none will be scarce or a good bet in MS-60 with the possible exception of a few late dates but these aren't going to be as common as it looked when the series was winding down.

remember this video from another thread. if penny's are no longer minted and hoarders melt pre 1982 penny's for there copper content, then penny's pre 1982 may be rare. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/laws-change-penny-hoarders-cash-thousands-dollars/story?id=15076522#.TuH99ZjEdHi

I CRH over 5000 dimes weekly. I have found dozens of cuds,shattered dies,brockage,3)1982 no P,dd,etc.. A few months ago I broke down and bought a ms63 at the monthly coin show for 50 cents. Deal.
