<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1889948, member: 68&quot;]This is just more modern bashing.&nbsp; It is directed at trying to muddy the facts so people don&#039;t see the reality. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course there is a natural dividing line at 1933 or so for all the reasons stated in the article plus the fact that this is when the US Mint changed their policy.&nbsp; Before this they made as many coins as needed for a region even if this were tiny.&nbsp; But when someone tried to purchase the entire 1931 S output of one cent coins they balked and changed the policy. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But this has absolutely nothing to do with what constitutes a &quot;modern&quot; coin and they muddy the water to hide it.&nbsp; Collectors saved current coin between 1931 and 1965.&nbsp; They saved them in relation to the mintage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EVERYTHING changed in 1965 when moderns began because nobody was saving new coin any longer and EVERYTHING changed.&nbsp; The composition changed.&nbsp; The relationship of collectors to mints changed. Dates, mintmarks, changed.&nbsp; Mint sets and proof sets changed.&nbsp; This is all invisible to modern bashers because most have never looked at a coin made after 1933.&nbsp; By 2033 they probably still won&#039;t have looked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
