<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 779676, member: 21782"]I agree, there are many modern key/semi key coins with great potential. Another thing to consider with "going back" too far is the dwindling number of collectors of the older series, whereas there are more and increasing numbers of collectors of modern coins due in large part to mint programs like the state quarter and bicentennial cents. I'd say the farther you go back, the more likely collectors are converting to type collecting, rather than trying to complete the entire series, thus decreasing demand for older coins. Even though it's clear to see this with coins like the seated liberty or bust coins, you will notice it more and more with 20th century series like WLH's, etc - more new collectors will demand one of each of the older coins for their type sets and a complete series of the modern coins because most can be found in circulation or for a nominal cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
