ALL are subject to being out graded by the TPG&#039;s. This is not to say that those Top Pops actually deserve the grades that a TPG may award since I&#039;ve seen some which leave me scratching my head but it is to say that a Top Pop Price may &quot;NOT&quot; be a sustainable price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the US Mint produces a billion of something, the number produced is meaningless if nobosy hangs on to them. Just look at the 1982 and 1983 coins in Uncirculated condition. Due to production practices, releasing practices and an overall dissing of the CnClad coins, very few high grade examples exist and original uncirculated rolls are going to put some serious hurt on your coin buying budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as those before us have collected and preserved coins through collecting, so shall todays generations collect and preserve coins for future generations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing can resurrect a coin NOT SAVED and given the general dissing that Modern CnClad coins have taken over the past 50 years, future generations of collectors will appreciate the efforts of those collectors that went against the status quo and built good strong collections of Modern coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The here and now only counts for the here and now. Not what could happen in the future. But, caution should be exercised &quot;before&quot; laying out serious cash for a high grade example of a modern coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
