<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2074504, member: 17665"]I have no preference on modern issues but just to fill the holes in my albums. When the current quarter series has ended I am also ending my collections at that point and focusing on classic issues. Trend show that mint and proof sets are down as is all modern coinage with only a few exceptions. Most seasoned collectors learned about the loss of value in these sets a long time ago. Some will still buy hoping for the next "BIG" one but not myself. Todays coinage is not unlike 3rd world issues. And just look at the plethora of issues from Canada. All sorts of gimmicks going on. Impossible to keep up with. I even stopped collecting stamps when the Elvis issue came. Billions of them sold for high prices to Elvis fans and today they are worthless except to use a postage. In fact, the 2012 sets of mint products just went off sale, they had that many in storage to last this long.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
