<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 635176, member: 16060&quot;]A lot of people when they get older start to collect the coins they grew up with.&nbsp; I have read many on Coin Talk verify this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need to put something in the proper perspective here.&nbsp; A lot of the collecting I do I&nbsp; have my sons in mind. However, I still collect what I like, but think about them and coins for them as they develop into collectors in future years.</p><p><br /></p><p>When a type of coin goes out of production it appears to me after a few years the popularity grows.&nbsp; As a young boy the best I can remember it didn&#039;t take more than a few years until seeing a wheatie was a rareity.&nbsp; When my son and I were roll searching for cents we found a wheatie at a rate of about one to three or four rolls in very good condition or less. One exception was probably a Fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think one thing will insure their increase in popularity is if the cent goes out of production completely. Also if the mint ends up putting an unpopular reverse on the new cent starting in &#039;10 this will also help.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I&#039;m beginning to think they are definitely a type of coin that has seriously been overlooked.&nbsp; None of this is a big deal other than I&#039;m just curious what other Coin Talkers think about all this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
