<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jetshack, post: 441684, member: 11725&quot;]exactly... As much as I enjoy collecting some of the older sets such as barbers and seated.&nbsp; These coins have been &quot;sleepers&quot; for a hundred years or more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Going forward I don&#039;t see demand changing for these types of coins.&nbsp; Of course if the hobby grows then demand for these will grow, but so will demand across the board.</p><p><br /></p><p>What we need to look for is demand that MIGHT be created for a SPECIFIC series OR a specific COIN.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to the inclusion of the 55 double die to albums the demand for this coin wasn&#039;t nearly as great (relatively) as it is today.&nbsp; And as such the price was much more in line with being a semi-key vs THE KEY.&nbsp; This is an event that caused a specific coin to increase in value more than it&#039;s peers.&nbsp; The upcoming 100 year anniversary or the Lincoln cent has caused demand for the keys and semi-keys to skyrocket over the last few years.&nbsp; This is an example or an event that caused a specific series to increase in value at a faster rate than other series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the real question here isn&#039;t what are good buys, but what EVENTS are getting ready to happen which might affect the hobby and which coins will be affected by this event on a greater scale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned the 82 No Mintmark dime as an example of a specific coin which could see a good runup due to the POSSIBILITY that Whitman is going to begin including it in it&#039;s albums.&nbsp; If this happens this coin will become THE KEY to the series in much the same way as the 55 double die has to the Lincoln series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t mention that I think Jefferson nickels are a good series to be investing in as a whole, but I&#039;ll do that now.&nbsp; I suspect that in the near future the mint will change the composition of the nickel as the melt value has been hovering at or hitting double of it&#039;s face value for over a year now.&nbsp; There&#039;s a bill before congress now to discontinue production of the nickel and change over to the half dime.&nbsp; I doubt this passes, but the thought is there to such a point that the idiots in Congress are already begining to talk about it.&nbsp; When the nickel is discontinued or the planchett composition changes this series WILL see a runup in value at a faster pace than the other series.&nbsp; MS example of these coins will probably increase at a faster rate than the series as a whole.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So another suggestion that I have is to invest in High Grade Early Date Jeffersons... I&#039;d focus in on the ones with mintages of under 10 million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
