what recent coins do you think will have high numismatic value in the future?

Satin US Mint sets 2009 and 2010. 2008 mintage 754k=$54 2009 774k= $20 and 2010 585k $##. the 2009 has low mintage 5,10 cents and 8 bronze cents. the 2010 lowest mintage since 1962 mint set.

I think ASEs. They are very popular. Someday the US Mint will discontinue the series and when that happens every ASE in existence will begin to develop at least some numismatic premium because the supply will be fixed but demand will continue to grow. So buy some nice examples from the lower mintage years and put them away.

 

I'm not overly biased toward U.S. I also like Canadian, Liberia, Britain, France, Mexico, Philippines...but I'm just not interested in China. That said, I will go against the current trend and say I think the ATB pucks will be winners in the future. I also like Canadian Wildlife. Loo late/too bad about the Britannias.

 

A good thing about the bullion pucks is the premium is pretty much the same as that of the ASE. Maybe they will be the Morgan Dollar of the 21st century....not well received at first, but very popular a few decades later.

 

I purchased several ATB pucks, and they are the only silver coins that on paper I'm loosing money on!

I believe that the reason that they never caught on is that they have a denomination of $0.25! Many folks have a tough time paying a couple of hundred for a coin that is legal tender of only a quarter.

I realize that the denomination of Bullion coins is meaningless, because they are valued based on the PM content, but still to put two bits on a 5oz. coin! What was the Congress thinking?

 

I understand your point of view. However, just because a lot of people predict something in no way means it will happen. Also, I'm not talking a major investment in Pandas on the part of the Chinese people. If just 1% of the population purchased just 1 Panda, that would be 12,500,000 Pandas and already you have a supply issue. So, purchasing just 1 Panda, they would still be able to purchase their jewelry and real estate.

 

One reason for the high price of the earlier Pandas is that before the Chinese were allowed to purchase PMs the Pandas were almost all exported. Now there are Chinese collectors wanting to buy those earlier issues back and they're not going to get them cheap. And neither are we.

 

Want to hear something sad? I bought a bunch of these in the early 90's, mixed dates from the 80's and 90's, and gave most of them away as gifts to kids I knew. I still have some, but sometimes I think about how many of these I gave away....

 

I, for one, am hoping that when the ATB series ends in 2022, that instead of going back to the previous design, the Quarter is redesigned to take off Washington and the eagle reverse, and get a new series of quarters going starting in 2023. I think that not only will that help rejuvinate collecting on the quarters (I think that some people drawn in by the different reverses will then want to have an entire collection of the quarters) but I think that it would then put the Washington quarter in perspective as a non-current coin. Also, it gives the opportunity to find something that stands out in our future current lives that has more meaning to most people than Washington, just because he was the first president. Perhaps then can be the end of dead presidents on the coin. I think our country is more than just who are the most remembered dead presidents.

Perhaps coin collectors can start to get some lobbying in now so that this might happen. I don't know what the process is, but I would be thrilled to go back to a Liberty type coin or something else representing our feelings about ourselves as Americans who think we are the best in the world, and get away from the old presidents.

 

i had set of Panda fractionals i sold them off in 2009 when gold was at 1400s thinking we will see a correction not that i am complaining since i bought a lot of those for spot prices. My one regret is not buying the unicorn,lunar and other Chinese comm coins when i had the chance they have gone up more 4x with out even factoring the raise in spot prices.

 

^Indeed. The Lunar Fan series has all but disappeared. You can't find a complete set of both metals these days for love nor money. If you have a full silver & gold fan, you are very fortunate. (if you are not familiar, these coins when laid together form a circle if you have all 12. The gold circle fits inside the silver one)

 

I really like the Royal Australian Mint’s Kangaroo at Sunset one ounce silver series. Mintages are extremely low and the coins are beautiful.


2009 proof: 4,000

2010 proof: 5,000

2011 proof: 5,000


There are also very low mintage "specimen quality" (uncirculated) versions as well as a 1/5 ounce silver and gold coin mintings of this design. BTW, if you are interested in buying these coins, pay close attention to the marking to the left of the kangaroo, as the 1 ounce silver and 1/5 ounce silver coins look a lot alike...

One ounce design:


1/5 ounce design:

 

Personally I love the design as well. I just wish all British Commonwealth coins could move away from the King/Queen obverses. Just a competely waste of a side of a coin.

 

Amen, brother! It's 2012 for heaven's sake and the occupation is over.

 

Can you imagine Charles' face on those?

 

Ugh, for sure. Some of the pre-1970s Brit obverses are pretty, but...hmmm.

And I agree with Kasia that you can Puh-lease get Washington off the ATB's...especially the pucks

 

As far a potential future value, I like the Britannia, Koala, ASE and Panda (but not in that order). . TC

 

I agree with her as well of course, but something like that would take political courage to stand up to groups who support the status quo, and it sure doesn't look like a lot of that going around nowadays.

 

Man, how Dare you bring the thread back on track!

 

By the way, TC, thanks for turning me onto the Koala. It's a great coin.
