<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 3732998, member: 89213&quot;]I started collecting in 1948. You are right, it was different 40 years ago. It was even more different 60 and 70 years ago. As a youngster I was still finding 20 cent pieces, IHC, SLQ, all Barbers, Liberty and Buffalo nickels in change routinely. I was there in 1959 and 1964 when serious changes were introduced. And that was traumatic for the coin collectors. Everyone began to hoard anything made before 1964, anything. Those hoards slowly depleted the access to fun finds in circulation. I&#039;m sure this was a disappointment to collectors and potential collectors. Todays collectors can reasonably expect to complete any series that starts after 1958 for cents and 1964 for all other denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
