which silver US coins appreciated the most in the past 8 years

[pulltabfelix]

I am looking to start collecting slabbed coins for PCGS. I have a rather large Marx playset figures collection I am selling off and wish to move into collecting slabs.

can anyone tell me which US coins have appreciated the most since 2011?

And does past appreciation rates have any bearing on possible future appreciation rates to the same coins?

thanks

You may choose to do your own research on that first question.
One way is to buy cheap copies of the 2011 and 2018 Official Red Books of coin collecting and compare estimated values.

Rule of thumb is the lower the mintage, the older it gets the higher the price goes up......earlier the better.......check out the bust dollars on this site...

I'd say buy 3 or 4 times more silver for those prices and skip the fancy slabbed stuff altogether. It's hard to get rid of and no one wants to pay extra for it. You wont find a coin shop that will buy it back from you for anything close and their graded stuff never moves if you notice cuz no one wants it. The only real value is the silver content except to a niche group of coin nerds and they probably wont be there when you want to sell it.

i have extensive knowledge in very specific areas on this topic. Your question is way WAY to broad to answer this in a simple way. Can you give us any idea of what you have an interest in? for instance...country...era...metal type...$$$ you want to spend...etc. is this simply as an investment?...or to keep and admire?

Well, not some of the goodies like 1972 DDO Lincolns or 1955 DDO Lincoln. They have dropped in value. Coin collecting is getting weird right now. A ton of old collections are on the market. That applies to most collectibles right now. The older generation is passing. My 1955 DDO which I bought for $2300 is now $1895 in the same grade slabbed anywhere! And you can find a lot to choose from. Same thing with 17th Century Mass. Pine Tree coinage. How many do you want?

If you are looking for investment, I'd just buy bullion, right now it's very popular.

If for personal interest, buy what you like. Stamp collecting was once popular. Coins may be going the same way. I sold 99% of every coin I ever bought in anticipation of retirement. I do not regret it and as a matter of fact can replace them for less than what I sold them for. It's kinda scary from an investment standpoint.

it is very true that prices go up and down in "trends"

As a coin and stamp collector most all my life, I was a huge sucker for a long time. I still have $50 silver, and my stamp collection is full of pretty little stamps, some of which I may need as postage - I don't know if stamp collecting popularity will ever recover.

Pretty much, bullion prices drive the bulk of the coin collecting populous now.

Everything in moderation.

I agree and disagree with this statement , Key Dates , Toning , & grade all play a big factor .

Morgans in ms 66 , 67 are all ugly to me as they get the "Bag Mark " Push for lack of the golfing term that I can not recall.

PCGS or NGC Used to send me a monthly market report with the top 5 money makers & the top 5 $ losers .

The #'s amazed me at times .

I think I still get those reports , but I just don't have the $ to invest.

Monthly Sunday Marietta Coin show would be a great place to learn / buy.

I buy "Junk ' hate that word or Common Silver 90% , on occasion buy got a-lot in 2012 - 2016, then mainly started buying coins that I like 'Type's' Even holed coin's (when the price is right ) , Love tokens are nice , I'm really not trying to invest tho.

Its usually always the same through time. Lower mintage, first strikes, high grade, always have good returns in time. Each year there are favorites that get purchased fast which can up the price. For example the 10oz Kookaburra has increased a lot this year already.

Ya , I got rid of many coins ( Numismatic) / proofs etc etc , my reasoning was that if I died , my family would just take it all to the local gold/silver pawn shop and sell it all for around spot, I mean you have to be really dedicated and know what coin is worth what. 99.9 percent people have no clue or care.

I only buy bullion now too, if I die, they can sell it all for around spot ish. One less thing to worry about.
