<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4602247, member: 19463&quot;]I believe Alegandron has stated the view I hold also.&nbsp; I have no problem with people who collect modern coins.&nbsp; The problem is that I get tired of them dropping in the Ancient section and telling us that we don&#039;t know how to collect coins.&nbsp; I still have the moderns I collected before making the switch to ancients.&nbsp; Below is one I particularly like.&nbsp; I got it in change when I was in Junior High School so it cost me a quarter.&nbsp; I might be able to sell it for more today, possibly even to someone who would not melt it.&nbsp; Not being a key date, MS65 or in plastic makes it meltable to some since there are a million better ones so I will keep it. I may be wrong viewing the modern hobby as coins either in plastic or in the melting pot but that is the impression I get.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="https://pbase.com/dougsmit/image/115663769.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Question: Why is the U in Trust made as a V?&nbsp; The other English words on the coin use the U reserving V for the Latin words.&nbsp; I see the latest coins us U for everything.&nbsp; I have no idea when the change was made.&nbsp; If I saw more discussions on things like that rather than the spot silver price and how to crack slabs and resubmit for profit, I might collect moderns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
