What US coin under $100 would you pick to be worth the most in 10 yrs?

I guess I could have said $50 as well, but lets say $100.

So what single US coin $100 or less in coinvalues or buy it now on ebay would
you pick to be worth the most in 10 years Any denomination or grade,
certificated or not, modern or not. I was active in collecting long ago and
when I restarted in the last year, It was interesting which
coins of my collection had gained the most value. Thanks.

I really don't know. 10 years is a long time and this coin market is too hot to make an accurate prediction, IMHO.

 

Make a note on your calendar to ask me on July 29, 2016, and if I'm still around I'll be glad to give you an accurate reply.

 

Get an 1859 IHC in the best condition possible for the money...

Bone

 

The 1927-s Standing Liberty Quarter is the one I'd choose, with a mintage of only 396,000 in VG-8 its only going for around $45. The only SLQ with a lower mintage is the 1916 which starts at $3,500 in G-4. I look for the 1927-s to skyrocket in a short amount of time.

Would you expect more appreciation for 10 $100 coins or 1 $1000 coin?

 

I would expect more apprecaition for one $1000 dollar coin, od course it depends on the coin or coin(s)

 

I believe it would be very interesting if you can pick up copies of the new Red Book and compare it with the previous versions.

That way you can make realistic data figures and possibly predict what coin values can possibly rise.

 

It's probably a riskier proposition as well. Don't put all your eggs in one basket...

 

I guess I was asking for fortune telling, but I was more curious as to the
types of coins. I do like the CuNi Indians like Bone and the SLQ from Indian
was a little of a surprise as I don't collect them and only have a couple. I
decided to check more into the history of that coin. I picked $100 because
I felt that was a level that most coin collectors could consider, even many
younger ones. My pick would be an 1894/94 IHC in best grade for the money.
Thanks to all who responded.

 

My guess would be a plain old PCGS certified MS69 one-tenth ounce American Eagle gold coin will rise in value more than many coins that currently have large numismatic premiums to their bullion value.

 

Mint state Mercury dime - FULL BANDS only - certified by PCGS or NGC

 

Full step jefferson nickels..pre 1955 is possible, you can still find alot under $100 if you look hard. its a good investment, some full steppers already sell for $500-$2000. or better.

 

Cloudsweeper beat me to it. I would have said the 1/10 ounce eagle also.

I'd agree that a coin currently worth $1000 will probably appreciate by a greater percentage than the 10 $100 coins, unless there is a total meltdown of coin collecting.
