<p>[QUOTE="Murphy45p, post: 3147346, member: 96005"]The problem started with the state quarters, which I thought was a good idea, I mean, it was 23 years after the bicentennials, and other than the Ikes and SBA dollars, it invigorated the hobby I thought. But why? Because it had been TWENTY THREE YEARS since new coinage basically. Honestly, with the plethora of modern issue coins out there now, imagine someone 150 years from now trying to put together a type set. It's like other collectibles, once they are produced merely as collectibles, the value has eroded. These won't circulate, so every specimen will grade high and be retained. </p><p><br /></p><p>I for one don't like the idea of it, but whatever. I'll keep collecting what I collect and if someone else wants to do them, then it's no skin off my back. HSN will make a bundle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
