[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 2069536, member: 44034"]Some of the more obsolete types would fit your requirements I think.

I've always though that common date 2 cent pieces in low MS were awfully affordable. An 1866 BN in MS-63 is only $180 in Numismedia. Some of the common year 3 cent nickels are cheap too for their age. 1866 in MS-63 is only listed at $175 in Numismedia. Half cents have always been the redheaded stepchild when compared to Large Cents but you can get a nice 1851 BN in MS-61 for $240 or thereabouts according to the priceguides.[/QUOTE]
