As a life-long collector, I have to admit that I am sick of the landslide of moderns out there. I don't collect most of it but I do continue to add to my older sets of Washingtons, Lincolns, Jeffersons, and such but I don't start new sets of whatever the heck the next dollar coin failure will be. Any moderns that the kids like I and they tend to collect for their interests but it is up to them to nag me to continue collecting them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I think what you collecting is based on your expectations. I collect for fun and if I go out and buy a bunch of 20th anniversary ASE sets, I turn around and sell them so that I have more money to buy what I do collect. Cashing in on the hype is about as close to participating in it as I come. Remember though, today's fad collectors are likely tomorrow's serious coin collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
