<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2425608, member: 71338&quot;]I like what you said in last paragraph - so true! The end of silver lost a lot of collectors, and modern coins have suffered for lack of silver no doubt. As you are alluding, what is considered junk or common May in fact not be so. Take for example 1883 liberty head nickels. The without cents was highly collected, the with cents (and just about all subsequent dates in xf and higher) was not and virtually impossible to find problem free and in better grades. People thought nothing special of the w/ cent nickels but they sure are worth something today. It also makes me think that &quot;modern&quot; is a unclear label because at some time they won&#039;t be so modern anymore, which is where I believe prices will increase if warranted by demand. Maybe &quot;contemporary&quot; coinage is more clear. When I think of modern, I think of machine struck coinage that goes back centuries. Modern is also a label for post silver US coinage I suspect as well[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
