<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1974, post: 848691, member: 12193&quot;]Hello everyone, </p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; was just looking through a July 2009 issue of COINS and found an article on sleeper coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The article did show a lot of coins that are technically under valued. This makes me wonder. With the current rise in precious metals will these change?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I did go through the 2010 Redbook , as I do not have 2011 yet, waiting for it. These are some that I found. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now in the list below top coin is the sleeper with the bottom not being a sleeper. Look at the mintage, then the price. The top coin will have a low mintage and low price, the bottom coin will have a higher mintage and higher price. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty head Dollar:</p><p>1854s </p><p>Mintage 14,632</p><p>AU50 Price $900</p><p><br /></p><p>1851c</p><p>Mintage 41,267</p><p>AU50 Price $2,000</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarter Eagles</p><p><br /></p><p>1868</p><p>Mintage 3,600</p><p>AU50 Price $700</p><p><br /></p><p>1876</p><p>Mintage 4,176</p><p>AU50 Price $1,000</p><p><br /></p><p>Half Eagles</p><p><br /></p><p>1859</p><p>Mintage 16,734</p><p>AU50 Price $800</p><p><br /></p><p>1855s</p><p>Mintage 61,000</p><p>AU50 Price $2,750</p><p><br /></p><p>Eagles</p><p><br /></p><p>1856</p><p>Mintage 60,490</p><p>AU50 Price $700</p><p><br /></p><p>1854s</p><p>Mintage 123,826</p><p>AU50 Price $1,300</p><p><br /></p><p>Double Eagles</p><p><br /></p><p>1908s</p><p>Mintage 59,850</p><p>AU50 Price $850</p><p><br /></p><p>1920s</p><p>Mintage 126,500</p><p>AU50 Price $17,500</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I am sure there are a lot more of these, and as the article did state there is no guarantee these will go up in value, but there is the chance, especially with more collectors entering the market. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;What do you think? Would it be wise to purchase these for investment, or at least use these numbers to look for certain coins for an investment?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I find it funny as i have never really looked at gold, as I always assumed it to be way out of my price range, and after looking at just a few, I am now considering it. </p><p><br /></p><p>When doing this i looked specifically for gold coins with low mintage under $1,000 for the sleepers. I am sure there are a lot lower mintages and prices as well. We just have to do more homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, </p><p>Stan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
