[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1025977, member: 2972"]IMO, you started down the right line of logic with your last post. The (a) series, (b) grade, and (c) look of the coin are most important factors, and you need to evaluate all three. Certain series of coins fetch large premiums, yet others do not -- for example, the Morgan dollars are a very popular series for toner enthusiasts, and this tends to drive premiums (particularly in higher grades) up. Yet, on a more thinly traded coin (like the one GDJMSP posted), there was little premium. Here are some series that fetch large premiums: Morgans Classic Commemoratives Franklins Here are some that don't: Circulated coins Most coins in grades MS60-MS 64 and PF-60 to PF-64 that aren't in the list above But really, you have to follow the market for a while to get a feel for which series/coins will fetch a large premium, and which won't. And remember, as with most coins it's primarily DEMAND that drives price. All IMO, of course. :)[/QUOTE]
