<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1257905, member: 28971&quot;]fred seems to be missing some of the experts points.&nbsp; Seems he should listen to cladking and 19Lyds.&nbsp; I definitely agree with 19Lyds, in regard to the coinage of &#039;82 and &#039;83.&nbsp; Just try to find a nice TPG MS66 Washington.&nbsp; Same is true about the pops of some of the &#039;90&#039;s Washies.&nbsp; But, the bottom line is clad/modern coinage is a great intro to the hobby, but it isn&#039;t subject to increasing in value (unless you have a TPG top pop), even if it&#039;s just due to intrinsic value.&nbsp; We see time and again the early prices for moderns.....then, pops go way up, prices go way down (again, unless you have a pop 1 or 2 MS68.&nbsp; Prez dollars and Statehood quarters are perfect examples....</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, there ARE exceptions, but I see clad coinage as just a financially easy way to get into the hobby.&nbsp; I guess those exceptions, are the &#039;keys&#039; of the future....like the &#039;82 &amp; &#039;83 coinage, even the &#039;69 Roosie.&nbsp; Then, of course, if you are into designations, then the FB Roosies and FS Jeffs of the &#039;70&#039;s, it&#039;s a whole different game.&nbsp; Some of those &#039;moderns&#039; aren&#039;t pocket change, and can&#039;t be had for pocket change.&nbsp; Unless you are a registry set player, a Whitman album of &#039;average&#039; BU Jeffs is just a folding piggy bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
