<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2341404, member: 19250&quot;]I will have to agree&nbsp; with Alan statement&nbsp; above do you enjoy the search,and with the new variety&nbsp; hold value or fizzle&nbsp; out.</p><p>To me there are two types of variety collector . One who searches older type coins ,and the other one whom searches bags or rolls for modern varieties .</p><p>This to me is a personal&nbsp; choice.....just like collecting cent or nickel series.</p><p>As a senior&nbsp; collector most modern finds do not excite me!</p><p>I find walking a show seeing a specimen,&nbsp; and having the knowledge&nbsp; to determine&nbsp; if it&#039;s&nbsp; worth pulling&nbsp; the&nbsp; trigger on.</p><p>Not to say bag or roll searching&nbsp; can&#039;t&nbsp; be fun or rewarding I feel that the varieties&nbsp; found are not as significant&nbsp; enough&nbsp; to hold interest&nbsp; by collectors. At least not me....</p><p>Another point to my type of variety&nbsp; collecting&nbsp; is that most are known . So using reference&nbsp; guides &quot;cpg&quot; or other books on this subject&nbsp; makes a find concrete . You already know&nbsp;&nbsp; die markers,that give you proof your find is the real deal.</p><p>As far finding variety&nbsp; coins from the fifties , sixties&nbsp; yes I sure there are coins out there but few and far between .</p><p>I believe&nbsp; it all depends&nbsp; on someone&nbsp; taking a hoard of coins from an estate&nbsp; and dumping&nbsp; them back into circulation .&nbsp; </p><p>I also believe&nbsp; it depends on the banks demand for coinage&nbsp; from the feds. A few years back if you recall the economy&nbsp; was bad and everyone&nbsp; who had a penny jar in house was taking them to coin star. That caused no new coinage&nbsp; being released&nbsp; by the fed as there was enough&nbsp; money in the system&nbsp; to maintain&nbsp; the public&nbsp; needs.</p><p>Maybe switching up banks ,or going to smaller banks could produce&nbsp; more of a mix rather than a brick of single dated coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
