[QUOTE="cladking, post: 3173751, member: 68"]'64 clad quarter '71-D DDR 25c '72-D DDR 25c '76-D DDO 25c '77 type "d" reverse 25c There are "many" others. There are lots more that might not exist in Unc but these are pretty sure ones. Coins are coins. Moderns are newer than classics by definition. They have on average different attributes and characteristics. So ugly moderns can get high grades because they are mark free. I believe you're probably right and as long as people use the word 'some" I don't have a problem with it. It's when people tar all moderns with the same brush and use the word as a synonym for "trash" that I have a problem with it. It's also when people suggest a coin that they can't understand is uncollectible or assume that buyers don't know what they're doing. I was referring to baseless pricing. Not all modern pop tops have fallen. Then why are there wholesale prices for coins in AU higher than the price guides for the same coin in Gem that might not even really exist in well made and pristine condition? Why does the Redbook guide list the '82-P in chBU for less than ugly coins sell for on eBay?[/QUOTE]
