J P M Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi All . I am going shopping to some of the coin dealers around the Charlotte NC area tomorrow.I am always look for odd stuff but wanted to ask you guys and gals thoughts on (What's Hot). Like a date or mint mark Morgans I should be keeping a eye out for maybe?. I know everyone has different tastes in coins they like but any thoughts of coins to keep a look out for would be awesome, any help would be appreciated. and it may turn out to be a fun topic GoldFinger1969 and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 From what I have been seeing just about anything that is eye appealing and/or with toning is white hot right now. Heck even unappealing ugly toned coins are bringing moon money often. Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip Coinbuf I will keep a eye out for oddballs, I was at one shop a while back and they had three good looking trays of Morgans a $40 ,$50,+ $75 tray.It was cool to see them laid out like that.But it would take me forever to pick out good raw coins like that LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenntucky Mike Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 If you're not familiar with grading and don't specialize in anything, then I like CB's idea of looking for toning. It's easy to identify and condition/rarity of the coin aren't as important necessarily. In general you're looking for high grade coins, FB, FBL, FS, FH, FT, etc.. Those are things you're looking for in the specific series. Bring a loupe and look for coins that you like and are familiar with. Don't forget to go through the $1 bin, if there is one there. I'd say keep an eye out for proof sets but look who I'm talking too. Coinbuf and J P M 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have a look at CC Trade Dollars on EBay. I can only describe it as sheer madness. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Conder101 Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 Forget about "what's hot", and look for coins that appeal to YOU. Buying "what's hot" is usually going to mean paying high for the coins and often losing because you have missed the changing in the market and the coins are no longer as "hot" when you go to sell them. Money is usually made by buying things BEFORE they become hot, and then selling them on the rise. But since it is usually impossible to be able to predict what will become hot you do best by buying eye appealing coins that you like, because if you like them there is a good chance there will be other people that like them as well, and quality is always in demand.

Hoghead515 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I enjoy early Washington quarters myself. Back in the silver days. I really like it when they have rim toning. I think it's also called bullseye toning. I call it that anyways. Those are usually hot cause everyone always seems to bid higher on them and they usually sell for a higher premium. Silver can tone some beautiful colors. J P M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it is always a good practice to ask you guys for Ideas ,I always look for nice big rounds and proof sets, but hearing your comments gets me thinking of other coins to keep a eye out for like Lem's 1960 D and Hoghead quarters.All good stuff. in my price range with any luck .. LoL Thanks Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Some advice I read a lot in the beginning and ignored because I was too excited to buy coins is quality over quantity. And it’s good advice in the end. Buy one quality coin vs 10 cheaper ones. It doesn’t provide as much immediate gratification but I now fully agree the you’ll be glad you did.
