[QUOTE="sodude, post: 2111840, member: 30828"]Back in the old days (the 1970s and 1980s), they used to make Mint Sets and proof sets. None of these fancy coins like they do today. People bought them because that's all that was available. But those Mint Sets are worth less today. Back then, kids would fill books with all the same coins (just different dates). They must have been bored or pushed into it by their parents. Personally, I like some of the modern stuff that you consider garbage (like the 5oz Silver ATB quarters). And frankly, if they stopped producing them, I wouldn't be buying any US coins.[/QUOTE]
