<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 839220, member: 6036&quot;]Interesting point.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When silver was circulating, so were older designs. e.g. when Rosies had silver, there were Mercs circulating. When Kennedies had silver, Frankies and even Walkers circulated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When the coinage went clad, <i>all </i>silver was scrubbed from circulation, which consequently removed the older designs. Thus, circulating coinage is all one design and thus less intruiging to the casual change-searcher.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, that works against the hobby, but one must give it the appropriate weight. It is certainly not killing the hobby.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are multiple factors at play - some positive, some negative. The sum of all factors adds up to positive; the hobby is not dying, it&#039;s growing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
