<p>[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 384062, member: 103422"]I'm not really sure about being a bust in the future but I believe as far as being over rated as a series would have to be the Kennedy Half Dollar. Besides the 1970-D (mintage 2,150,000) there arent any key dates and some of the proof issues are way overpriced IMO.</p><p> </p><p>As far as a set that is under rated, well, I could pick a few that comes to mind right away. I've always said that the Seated Liberty Half Dime (1837-1873) is very under rated yet still very affordable. If you look at this series there are many coins that have very low mintages ( there are 40 different coins in this set with mintages under 1 million with many of those yet under 200,000) yet values of these coins amazingly do not reflect their mintages. Why? Simply no demand for these coins except by type set collectors.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_dimes/seated_liberty_half_dimes/half_dimes_seated_liberty.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_dimes/seated_liberty_half_dimes/half_dimes_seated_liberty.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/half_dimes/seated_liberty_half_dimes/half_dimes_seated_liberty.html</a></p><p> </p><p>Another series of coins I believe is under rated is the Peace Dollars.
