I love my type coins, especially odd denominations and I realize the demand is much lower overall. Still, there IS a demand and the prices on many have skyrocketed in the past five years or so. I no longer buy 1872 Two Cent pieces because I got my five at much lower prices than I could today.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I get into more &quot;popular&quot; coins it&#039;s not always just love of the piece. I&#039;m not a Barber nut like Treashunt although I do like them. I buy the 14-S quarters because they truly are under rated and will go up. I&#039;m sure of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the &quot;under rated&quot; coins I&#039;ve sought out have done very well. Others are just waiting.</p><p>It&#039;s also interesting that when I got a lot of these coins I had to actively pursue them to find examples that I wanted - even in the odd denominations.</p><p>Not coins you would see at shows and if you did many were over graded and over priced. Patience was a key here.</p><p>That and doing your homework which involves taking a lot of variables into the equation.</p><p><br /></p><p>...and it&#039;s a fun challenge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
