<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1256210, member: 68&quot;]Tokens, huh?&nbsp; You do realize there were 1966 dimes produced before 1964 dimes.&nbsp; What automatically makes a silver coin real and a cu ni coin a token.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1935 the metal in a 1932-S quarter was worth less than 7c.&nbsp; in 2008 the metal in a clad quarter was worth more than 7c.&nbsp; Are you suggesting that a &#039;32-S quarter started as a coin, degraded to token, and then became a coin again before becoming obsolete.&nbsp; But a clad quarter was never more than a token despite the fact you can still spend it for 25 cents.&nbsp; Sorry, but this makes no sense.&nbsp; Money derives its value from convention and this isn&#039;t the same world it was in 1932 or 1935.&nbsp; It&#039;s not the same world it was in 1965 when the mint tried to force people to quit collecting moderns and it&#039;s not the same world as 1995 when the hobby was dying.&nbsp; Consult a calendar because I believe you&#039;re behind the times.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No.&nbsp; The exact opposite is true.&nbsp; Silver gold and copper coins are not often melted for their value but modern coins are often recalled and destroyed.&nbsp; The european coins are a case in point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
