<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crystalk64, post: 50075, member: 1873&quot;]One thing is for certain...US old people as you put it, got REAL coins WAY back then. I can remember spending Walking Liberty and Franklin halves, Mercury dimes and Roosevelt dimes and quarters that were made out of REAL precious metal. You know the kind I mean? The ones bringing premiums now! Coin collecting really suffered for years when the government took the silver away from us and it took another couple of generations to convince collectors that clad coinage was worth anything.&nbsp; While I continued to collect just about anything I prefer to put my money into those OLD coins that to me are NOT old ...just silver. You youngsters will look back about 40 to 50 years from now and see the things that took place in your lifetime as NOT old. Things that actually came before you would be considered old! My perception of old would be prior to 1900. Different century and a whole different way of doing things. Now that would be old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
