Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 744302, member: 4552"]For actual under rated coin, there are many. For a series of under rated coins, there again are many and many have already been listed here. Sort of difficult to say which coin(s) are under rated value wise, availability, popularity, etc. There are coins that are really just ignored by the masses as ever being valuable except a few in the series. Roosevelt Dimes as an example, Kennedy Halves, Jefferson Nickels and basically all State Quarters. It really appears that almost anything in coins with our presidents on them is just not popular with the general coin collecting populace. Many start collecting these and they usually end up in an attic, closet or just in a box somewhere. I never could figure out why there is so little interest in the Shield Nickels or the Liberty Head Nickels or is it that people just don't like Nickels? Mintages are high but finding them in decent conditions isn't easy. Exception is naturally the Buffalo/Indian Head Nickels that are really popular. My opinion of the really next big collectable is the old standby Mercury Dimes. With a population in the USA of 300,000,000 and many of the Merc's with only a few million made, some should really jump in value soon. Note as an example the 31D with only a few million made and the prices are really low.[/QUOTE]
