[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2067489, member: 41863"]Pretty simple, I want to generate a list of coins (either Top 10 or Top 25) that people think are a good value under $250. I want to give a small presentation on my findings to our club. I think what we can do is just make suggestions for awhile and kind of see what repeats and start to tally results and put them in some sort of order. At the very least it should be a fun little experiment. Oh and make a small case for your coin if you can. A line or two, maybe even just a couple words. Here are a couple that come to my mind. 1921 peace dollar in a nice AU-58 or so -very popular first and only year type coin, low(ish) mintage, choice coins can be found in this grade range 1942 Proof War Nickel -Not necessarily at the top of the budget, can be found nicely toned for good prices, one year type, silver, and low mintage. 1938 Proof Nickel -First year proof coin, can be found nicely toned for good prices, low mintage, popular series. 1963 DDO Washington Quarter -Can be found in mint state grades, nicely toned, and under $50. Nice spread on the doubling under light magnification. 1955 Bugs Bunny Franklins -Can be found graded, mint state, toned, and reasonably priced. Popular entry level series over all and an easily found and interesting variety coin. Those are all the specific coins I can think of right now, but you all get the idea. I will add more as they come to me. Thanks for your participation if you do decide to post![/QUOTE]
