<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 839361, member: 68"]Your points are well taken and I didn't really mean to get my hackles up. As you so wisely point out "it is what it is". This certainly applies to all coins including moderns. There can't be "too many" 1996-W dimes because they made a certain number and all the survivors are accounted for. No body is going to throw their's away because there are too many. Frankly I really wouldn't mind owning more of them and if the price came down then I'd probably buy some. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's no surprise that a lot of people start with moderns and move on to classics. This is EXACTLY what I've been trying to tell the modern bashers for years; if you want new collectors then don't chase them off. New collectors need encouragement a whole lot more than older collectors and they are more easily discouraged, especially some children. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm sure you can see that there can be a very fine line between modern bashing and a reasonable dislike of modern coins or an unreasonable hatred of them. I've seen enough of your posts to know you try to always provide a resonable and considered opinion or facts. That we might disagree on this might be largely semantics anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
