<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 24009, member: 68&quot;]There weren&#039;t any coins worth $10,000 in today&#039;s money in the 1950&#039;s or even the &#039;40&#039;s or &#039;30&#039;s.&nbsp; You&#039;d have to go all the way back to the mid-1920&#039;s to find circulating coins worth this kind of money and these people are long gone or have long since gotten rid of these coins.&nbsp; Sure there are coins from the &#039;50&#039;s that are worth $10,000 now but these are not the kind of coins that people were pulling from pocket change.&nbsp; They were pulling coins like XF &#039;26-S cents and if they got lucky they might find a VG &#039;14-D or even a F &#039;21 dime.&nbsp; The valuable coins that were in circulation weren&#039;t saved.&nbsp; No one paid any attention to something like a gem &#039;53-S half or a full step &#039;60-D nickel.&nbsp; In those days they filled albums with circulated coins and hoarded BU rolls and bags &quot;for future generations&quot;.&nbsp; The odds of finding these coins randomly in circulation in those days was very remote.&nbsp; On the off chance such a coin did make it into someones mason jar it has long since been jostled down to an unattractive AU condition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are probably lots of coins in circulation that will be worth $10,000 in today&#039;s money in the future but that&#039;s because people aren&#039;t saving these either.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t just high grade examples but it&#039;s the varieties and other various coins that are rare.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The older people who have $10,000 coins which will come on the market paid a few hundred dollars for them in the &#039;50&#039;s and many are or recently were active coin collectors.&nbsp; But they did not find these coins in circulation, though in some cases perhaps their parents or grandparents did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
