<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Johnson, post: 7847053, member: 96020&quot;]I don&#039;t see it that way.&nbsp; I think the kids starting out as collectors today are doing it the same way and for the same reasons we did.&nbsp; They&#039;re searching rolls for the magic error coin that&#039;s going to make them rich or the older coins.&nbsp; What they call older coins is a lot different than what we called older coins, though.&nbsp; When I started out I searched penny rolls for wheat cents.&nbsp; But I also remember that wheat cents had been out of production for less than 20 years at the time.&nbsp; So today the kids are looking for the memorial cents that have been out of production for 13 years.&nbsp; It&#039;s the same thing, isn&#039;t it?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the modern collectibles sold by the mint appeal more to grandparents looking for Christmas gifts than to the actual collectors, although I do pick up a silver proof set for myself every year and I buy silver quarters for all my nieces and nephews.&nbsp; I did buy a 2016 gold Mercury dime and hope to pick up a 2021 Peace Dollar, though.&nbsp; Mercury&#039;s have been my favorite for many years and I&#039;d like the Dollar to add to my set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
