<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crystalk64, post: 52413, member: 1873&quot;]One still must keep in mind that the collectors in the 1800s were collecting and preserving MODERN coins of their time and if it wasn&#039;t for them a ton of coin collecting history wouldn&#039;t be around today. While I am not a strong collector of modern coins I do it for my children and hopefully their children as who knows what my efforts may bring 100 years from now. I get tickled at new collectors who really get excited about finding an &quot;old&quot; coin from way back in the 50&#039;s or 60&#039;s! If it was issued in my lifetime I don&#039;t think of it as old but our next generation already does. It will take the efforts of many to preserve what a limited few did for us in the 1800&#039;s and it will take even larger numbers to supply the masses in the future with our, hopefully more affordable, collectable coins which they will refer to as the &quot;past&quot; and &quot;history&quot;! Hopefully my family will hold on to my coins for a few generations and see what happens! Thats my dream![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
