<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 5201302, member: 89213"]Let's say a young person in 2050 starts a coin collection. That is 30 years from now. I can get a 30 year old quarter right now for 25 cents. I can get an uncirculated one for not much more. And, odds are, that person in 2050 will be able to get a 60 year old quarter for very little more. Why would I pay hundreds or thousands for one in a plastic holder? If I did, my entire collection would need to be likewise represented. I don't think they are going to be worth anything in 25 or 30 years. People are not collecting coins, they are collecting labels. And, that is their prerogative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
