What do you believe to be real sleepers?

And if you agree or disagree with the above...why?

While it isn’t terribly difficult to find an 1803 or 1805 DBH, finding one that is unmessed with can be a significant challenge. I don’t think that is reflected in the current pricing of these coins.

[WoodenJefferson]

Aside from the 1921 high relief, the 1928-P and the 1934-S Peace Dollars, there are 14 out of 24 under $100 in MS-60 (6 six of those 14 are rated at $20 bucks each!)

[TomB]

I have an idea of what coins I believe are sleepers, though I will not list them all here. However, I do think there are other DBHs/CBHs that are at least as relatively undervalued as the 1820 is and I would hesitate to include matte proof Lincolns in the list since I do not know if there are enough of these to form a critical mass.

[MikeKing]

Cmon Tom, list 3 or 4.

Over my head Tom. Please say more.

Thanks.

This is a bit of a tease Tom. Give us 1 or 2 to consider

well here goes bois and gurls, these sleepers some are ultra +++ sleepers are not for the faint of heart as some might be hard to near impossible to find but i guess the thrill is in the hunt and the spolis go to the persistant and most are available to the majority of collectors but of course some are pricey

[PerryHall]

Virtually all of these coins are well recognized rarities. What's your definition of "sleeper"?

[michael]

What's your definition of "sleeper"?

 

answer--coins like the above that are value and opportunity

 

the coins as per the above with the right "look" are sleepers and of course some more than others

[mikesartifacts]

Seated quarters from 1879-1889 ; the prices have never reflected true rarity

1892-S Morgans in XF

mint state half cents from the 1850s - another great buy IMO

key date Buffalos in Fine - the new VF

Anything I don't own....that would be my definition

 

 

[WoodenJefferson]

84, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 92, 93 Prestige Proof sets...who ever paid the purchase price from the Mint, has yet to realize a positive flow from these sets. As far as collectable, yes...but as an investement to flip or to hold, a big no!

 

With the start of the 95 increasing in value well over the initial purchase price, maybe one day the rest will play catch up!

 

(also, it's hard to keep some of those coins in these sets from hazing)

[Here]

1878-CC Trade Dollars in XF and below.

1859-S $ any circulated grade.

1937-D 50C in AU....just because they are hard to find!
