<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 3676226, member: 18157&quot;]Over the years, I&#039;ve noticed that (generally) coins jump in numismatic value around the 70 year mark (give or take a few years). That seems to hold true for silver coins, anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins from the &#039;40s have seen their initial pop so early &#039;50s coins should be next. I remember a time when you couldn&#039;t give away Mercury Dimes minted in the 1940&#039;s. Coins in the &#039;50s and &#039;60s were hoarded in greater numbers, which may dampen prices. A spike in Silver and another &quot;great melt&quot; might help.</p><p><br /></p><p>My apologies to CladKing for the title, but it has a meaning. I&#039;ve also noticed that coins considered to be &quot;crap&quot; coins tend to circulate more and not hoarded in great numbers. I wonder if coins minted between 1965-1974 will fall into this category and ultimately &quot;outshine&quot; their older silver siblings.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may be 2035-2045 before we&#039;ll know how these sandwich coins fare. I suspect that now may be a good time to pick up some high grade examples just in case fewer high grade examples survive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
