<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2111508, member: 19463&quot;]Ides, et al.:&nbsp; When we were playing in the folks&#039; change, Indian head cents were closer to our date than wheat cents are to today.&nbsp; A thrill was finding a coin 100 years old which now includes the first Lincolns.&nbsp; The hard thing to find in circulation now is a high grade early zinc cent now over 30 years old and rotting quickly compared to the earlier alloy ones.&nbsp; If the government had been willing to change the types on circulating coins even every 20 years or so, I suspect we would have more kid coin collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>AJ:&nbsp; I know we would get along better than most people so far separated economically but I suspect there is difference when you are known as someone who buys coins up to $100k and one who goes for $100 items.&nbsp; I make a point of not even asking half of the dealers at a Baltimore show if they have what I want because I know their time is more valuable than the likelihood of a positive reply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
