<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ChrisKampmann, post: 571885, member: 17215&quot;]Thanks for the interesting responses.&nbsp; I think that there is definitely an onion theory that needs to be explored and my intentions weren&#039;t necessarily to peel back the whole onion and to try and find an answer for the whole theory.&nbsp; But, in the end where will collecting end up?&nbsp; Modern coins will have to be in MS70 condition to have an increase in future value.&nbsp; This is something that happened to sports card collecting many years back.&nbsp; Actually a few things happened that changed sports card collecting.&nbsp; As the market became infused with 30 (estimated) types of card sets every year, the ability for everyone to collect the same set became almost impossible.&nbsp; Rookie cards became serial numbered (i.e. Tom Brady&#039;s highly sought after RC card has only 1,250 prints).&nbsp; The grading companies became the source of the highly sought after cards. i.e. A Beckett graded 10 is the same as a PCGS MS70.&nbsp; The value of the cards was based off the grade of the card, but coins are a bit different.&nbsp; Coins are circulated at much higher numbers than sports cards, A set of cards can have over 300 players in a set where coins have a few different mints where they are created.&nbsp; That is why I started thinking so hard about what to collect.&nbsp; If you merely look at the numbers then it would be obvious that you should collect older coins based of things that have already talked about in this post.&nbsp; Inflation, population increases etc....., but what if you collected MS70 &quot;Modern&quot; coins the numbers might end up being similar.&nbsp; This is why I use the sports card system as an example.&nbsp; I do not know what you guys think, but I appreciate the honesty and the candor of the responses and educated responses really help me out personally.&nbsp; Hopefully other people are finding this interesting too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
