<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3149650, member: 31533&quot;]You may think the slabbed moderns are bad in high grades, but they will not always be such a glut on the market and &#039;valueless&#039;. Think 100 years in the future. 100 years from now, things and events will have transpired to make many of those disappear. Most will not have problems with being a precious metal, so won&#039;t be subject to melt, but fires and floods will destroy some and others will be ransacked for their cash value if they don&#039;t sell or by thieves more interested in getting what little they can rather than passing it up.&nbsp; How many, barring those who are either having them in safe deposit boxes because they are part of their registry set, will survive and of the ones kept raw, how many can reasonably be expected to survive and be graded so high twenty or forty years from now? We don&#039;t highly value them, but most back in the 30s and 40s did not value things enough to take a chance and even sock away a pristine nickel, dime, quarter, or half dollar and guard it carefully to pass it down to their heirs on the chance it would, in 50-75-100 years be valuable because of condition. I don&#039;t see human nature changing. I like my high grade moderns and though I will ruthlessly cull the ones I don&#039;t feel are worthy for me to keep, mainly because I don&#039;t like keeping that many coins, keeping some and targeting them for my kids or my kids kids in 40 plus years could turn out to be great. Just think, if my dad, when I was born, had taken a couple dollars and gotten a 1955 Double Die cent and put it in an envelope with his will and other papers and maybe another coin or two (like a 1928 Peace Dollar). And then later it could be found. So,put a couple in your safe deposit box with your papers and who knows what might happen? Look back on just about any glut thing and see how many disappear because of varying factors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
