To me, the most enjoyable thing about collecting by type is the fact that essentially every coin you purchase is somehow different. The type collector gets to experience a wide range of dates, designs and denominations...
By comparing a VF common date Charlotte or Dahlonega half eagle to other areas in the market, I think I can make a strong case that these coins are currently undervalued…
As with all larger-sized US gold coins struck after 1880, the collector needs to ask “is this date safe from the possibility of a sizable quantity being located overseas?”
