Message:: [QUOTE="NetJohn, post: 493057, member: 16715"]First off, I'm a mintage guy.  I look at mintages vs price, and figure out which ones are undervalued and buy those now, and which are overvalued and wait to buy those until (if) the price goes down. A few years ago, 1914 halves were $30 in G.  At 124k mintage.  Now they're $140.  That was my number one undervalued pick, and I'm glad I bought one.  Before that it was 31-S Lincolns. For the same reason, I just purchased a 27-S quarter in VG/F.  At 396k mintage, $50-60 is a great deal.  I expect these (and the 27-D, the only other sub-million SLQ other than the 16 and 27-S) will go up in value, say double to triple, in the next 2-3 years. 1913 quarters are also undervalued. At 484k mintage, you can find them in the $20 range G/VG, while the 14-S is $100 at 264k mintage.  I expect 1913 quarters to be at $60-70 (in G) in two years, while the 14-S gets to $150 (in G). What is your call for most undervalued coin?  Unless it's modern, let's quote G/VG/F prices (as that's within reach for most collectors).  Sure, I think 1881 seated quarters are also underpriced at AU/MS, but at $650, that's a bit more (my expectation is $1000-1250 for them in two-three years).
