Message:: [QUOTE="illini420, post: 818150, member: 19423"]Took me awhile too, but I found a 1909-D that I liked... now I just need to find a nice 1909-S and I'll be really happy.  I think Barber Dimes in the higher grades are much more affordable than Barber Quarters or Halves that have comparable populations, but I would not call them sleepers. Here's my 1909-D dime, not the best pic though: <img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909Ddime-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I would have said the 1908-S Indian Cents were sleepers if you asked me 12-18 months ago, but those have really caught fire and have basically doubled in price in the past year in many grades.  Still an undervalued coin in my opinion, but no longer a sleeper. I like the 1996-W dime, but there are so many of them and they are all in great shape; it'll never be worth a ton because of that... same story for the 1994 and 1997 SMS Nickels and the 1998 SMS Half.   I think high graded Brown Wheat cents could still be in the sleeper category if you can find them priced right at a show, but in an auction it can go either way and if the wrong folks are watching the auction, they can go for moon money!!![/QUOTE]
