[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1890071, member: 15929"]You know, I am tempted to read the entire article and actually started to do so until I get to the poibnt where he states: "I am not referring to mintages; I am referring to the number of coins that survive." To me, that takes what is a simple definition into nothing more than a numbers game. To me, Classic and Modern refers solely to coin "design". (The same really as anything else that has an artistic interpretation. A classic coin is a coin with some representation of Lady Liberty. A modern coin is a coin with a dead president on it. This means, that there is no line. There is no boundary and mintages with numbers of survivors has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's all in the design and folks either appreciate modern coin designs or they don't.[/QUOTE]
