<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1696179, member: 26302&quot;]Good point. One huge advantage of a lot of modern coin collecting is a lot of it has innate value. Bottom line, without collector value a stamp and a baseball card is a piece of paper. A ton of modern commemoratives are still silver regardless of lack of collector demand. This innate value I believe will retain collectors, since they will always be valuable, and lets be honest, people always pay attention to something of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe these modern collector coins are our modern day &quot;junk silver&quot; effectively. Many will be melted at some point when collector appeal wanes. Looks at things like US commemorative like Washington half dollars and Statue of liberty sets. Way too many for collectors, so many have been/will be melted. That is ok with me though. This just means more silver will be available for minting new coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
