[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7999599, member: 105098"]it's all good to me but due to the way I collect, I like circulation coinage, I don't see to much "old stuff". SO I'd have to say Moderns. and really depends on how you classify "modern". Like 1950 to present, or like lincoln cent jeff, roosie washington, kennedy, or Wheat, memorial, shield, or just memorial and shield, or it's gotta be an indian to be outside of "modern". I mean in the 1950s, it was anything pre-great depression, in the 1970s it was anything 1950s and earlier, in the 80s it was anything 1965 and newer, after silver was removed, and heck some people now want to classify "modern" anything dated 2000 and newer. I feel like "modern" is a moving target and not clearly defined in the hobby, and never has been. But maybe I'm not so "in tune" with the happenings in the hobby and, I just missed the memos on it.[/QUOTE]
