<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crystalk64, post: 87991, member: 1873&quot;]Speedy, how many special coins or commemoratives were made in the 60&#039;s or 70&#039;s? You can&#039;t even compare those years with what is going on now, world wide, yet you try to? Were you even alive in the 60&#039;s or 70&#039;s to make an honest comparison? The SMS sets were nothing much other than the fact during that period of time some genius in the government decided that we coin collectors were the reason for the nation wide coin shortage. They decided to eliminate mint marks and make just ONE set of coins to offer those few years to keep all us coin collectors from hoarding all the change. It never dawned on them they weren&#039;t producing enough coinage, that millions and millions of coins were lying in cans, jars and dresser drawers and no one had a clue how many thousands and thousands of dollars in change is lost or destroyed every year so it had to be the darned coin collectors. The SMS sets were nothing to get excited about then and still aren&#039;t today. Be glad you are a living coin collector in this period of time as there is a world of things going on, you have uncounted opportunities we didn&#039;t during that period of time and you have something we didn&#039;t to furthur enhance collecting and trading all over the world. THE INTERNET!!! Swore I would never have one of these computers in my house but, as a coin collector, it is the greatest thing that ever happened to me and my hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
