Take as an example the Jackie Robinson $5 gold coin. When it was issued in 1998, nobody bought them. Subsequently few were made and when the interest finally picked up, the Mint wasn&#039;t making them any more and the price skyrocketed. Compare that to the 31-S, or the 50-D or ANY modern coin for that matter. You will find no increase in value that even approaches a larger premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I defy you to find me an example of a modern hoarded coin that has increased significantly in value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Where you and I have parted company is in the satin strike vs. circulation strike and which to save. I personally say that people not only don&#039;t care about the circulation strike coins, but that they have no ready source of them for years 2005-2010 and it is THOSE coins that will command a premium. If you don&#039;t agree, then explain the price of 1982 and 83 gem Washington Quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
