So for every time period there is now a coin that is the most sought after, such as the Morgan dollars, and then there is a flop or two, like wheat penneys... So what coin in mintage now do you think will become like the morgan and fetch a relitivley high price even for one that is lower grade and which one(s) will become the flop? Now I know there is silver in the morgans and thats part of the reason they are higher in price but still I am interested in what everyone thinks on what coin will be sought after 100 years from now when we might not even be producing coins for buying purposes anymore.
There's going to be coins in the future!!! I really would have no idea........probably the state quarters/washington quarters in general.
Ehh the mint is saying that they are skeptical that they will be minting coins for every day use as soon as 30 years from now, I bet they will still be making special coins for people like us, I mean mint proof sets make them a lot of money every year so why not right? Who knows, but yeah I bet the comemoratives they are putting out right now will become more valuable later... because honestly few coins these days have any precious metals in them at all... so who knows
Because hardly anybody collects them. Think about it - all the old coins that are worth the most today are the ones that nobody collected when they were new.
And everyone is collecting state quarters..... ahhhh I get it! so are you suggesting we buy some roles of dimes and keep them in a drawer untill we are old and then sell them or give them to our kids?
I doubt there will be any coins of today that will be worth much except for the odd balls like the extra leaf Wisconsin quarter, recent double dies, etc. Simply put, coins today are produced is too massive of a quantity. Quarters, nickels, etc., will not be scare even in mint condition as there are more collectors today who have put away rolls for the future. Older, scare dates will continue to rise as more collectors enter the hobby and seek them out. Interesting thought on Roosevelt dimes though. There are really no scarce dates in Roosevelt dimes yet there is little demand for them. Just think, clads have been around over 40 years now.
There is really no way I can say.....no one knows for sure what will go up or down....if we did we would be buying all we could and not telling anyone else. BUT....I think GDJMSP has a good point....almost no one collects them...and few collect them in high UNC grades. I don't know for sure what will happen to them....but I do know what is happening right now....they aren't going anywhere much. Speedy
GD I must be lucky I have three complete sets of roosevelt dimes 1946 to 2006 no proofs. All BU roosevelt are at a good price I just like them.
I would think Kennedy Halves among the clad coins. I think they are the best designed clads, and larger coins seem to be more popular than smaller ones. Eisenhower dollars might be popular as the last of the large dollar coins ever minted. The gold commemoratives will probably have a following too. A lot of people collect silver commems, but nobody seems to like the gold, and some of the mintages are quite small. But as usual, everything will be collected if it is old enough and in a relatively high grade.
