[QUOTE="cladking, post: 8635747, member: 68"]These coins were all authorized and commissioned by the individual states. They are almost invariably legal tender coins and many (especially high denomination gold) have been hauled off to the country's central banks and redeemed for cash. Many others have actually circulated. I don't see this as any sort of problem. People can collect or not collect just like any other coins. I agree this is annoying though it is a rare coin that you aren't sure. Well fewer than 1% of FM products are difficult to identify. Actually the demand is so low even the rarest item can be found. Many very high quality, beautifully executed, and historic coin with mintages in the dozens or hundreds can be found for prices based on spot or little more. People don't care about moderns but the simple fact is that a new generation of collectors is emerging and it's likely they'll think 50 or 75 year old rare coins are plenty old enough. Frankly I think all these coins really need to get attention is higher prices and this has been happening for years now. I believe it will accelerate and then begin feeding on itself.[/QUOTE]
